This morning, leading councillors from across the country have written to the PM calling for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to be published to create a #SmokefreeGeneration. @RishiSunak - when will MPs be able to debate this vital legislation? https://t.co/EhvlsgpfRT

Parish-level councils across Wiltshire are going through the motions of deciding their share of local council taxes. Is anywhere in Wiltshire - indeed, is anywhere at all - opting for a bigger % rise than Salisbury City this year?
I am disappointed by the decision of Salisbury City Councilās administration to pass the budget last night with a 44% tax rise. When household incomes are being squeezed, an extra Ā£102 tax bill from their parish council is the last thing Salisbury residents need.

In Wiltshire well over 10% of our work force are in the armed forces. The idea that cutting their pay, along with that of teachers, NHS staff and local government workers would be anything other than catastrophic for our rural economy! Madness
Actually speechless. There is simply no way you can do this without a massive pay cut for 5.5m people including nurses, police officers and our armed forces outside London. So much that weāve worked for in places like Teesside, would be undone

How can this possibly help level up the south west? I am backing @RishiSunak because he has a viable economic plan to ensure regions like #NDevon are not left behind by city centric policies which would see our vital public service workers paid less @Ready4Rishi
Liz Truss says sheāll āsave Ā£8.8bnā by paying public workers less in poorer regions. This would start with new civil servants and āif it worksā be extended to public sector workers, meaning Ā£8.8bn comes from nurses/police/teachers etc in Sunderland paid less than ones in Surrey.
