Got my pinhole camera and a colander at the ready (and very impressed at the guy watching it through a welding helmet!)

We couldn't investigate the rapist murderer but we have plenty of time to investigate journalists and arrest people holding Palestinian Action signs. Rotten.

Just received an interesting email in the Unite leadership contest... Seems like some aren't happy with the anti net zero line! Never voted in one before but I'm not exactly thrilled with it either - anyone know anything about this guy?

My "I have a plan" T-shirt is getting some questions already answered by my T-shirt

On which note, I'm going to get on with electing a fantastic community champion in Kidlington West. Let's see how Labour do there. Oh wait. They couldn't even find a candidate. Like I said: good luck with that

I wrote to the Secretary of State to raise the need for funding for local government to support heatwave response and home cooling. This summer has broken records but is unlikely to be a one-off, and we need to support vulnerable people to prepare better for next time.

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· Jul 7

See you there?

Am I reading right that Nigel Farage took money from a guy who wrote a book on how to bribe people?

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· Jul 5

Slight problem @georgebas5.bsky.social @europesheila.bsky.social can anyone tie break!

I won a bee hotel in the Banbury Lib Dems thank you party raffle! Do I need to do anything special to attract bees or do I just put it in a sunny spot and hope for the best?

Me looking excited but also a bit nervous holding my bee hotel

Kidlington village fete today. Note to self: do not run away to join the circus, circus tricks are hard!

Me in flip flops and a white, red and blue dress and looking at a red and yellow diablo which is tangled because it turns out I cannot diablo. I'm standing on grass and there's a church in the background. There is a small cluster of people over my right shoulder who are thankfully all looking at someone else!

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· Jul 4

Been getting a great reception on doors too 😃

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· Jun 30

In Oxford today for Full Council with some great questions, especially one around how the council plans to support adaptation to Extreme Heat. Unfortunately there isn't currently central govt funding for this, so I'll be writing to ministers asking them to expand the warm home grant to cover cooling

Me in a pink top and grey blazer with a gold (not actually gold!) necklace. I'm standing in front of Oxfordshire county council and you can see a signpost for different areas in Oxfordshire and the council main entrance behind me. There are some nice pink flowers and grass growing round the sign.

Henry's quote here if anything understates it.

Her name is Rozeina.

"Kids, can I take a picture of the sign without you in it so I can put it on social media" 🤣 congratulations to everyone who completed the Otmoor Challenge on this very hot day and mega thanks to the organisers and volunteers 🏃🏼🌞 🏃🏼‍♀️

Two lumps of child hiding behind a home made cardboard sign reading 'you are the best'

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· May 26

Thank goodness for that 🥵

Some new policy working groups advertising! The rural one I'm especially excited about because it's something I advocated for on the policy review and then on FPC. Website seems not to be up to date so apply from Tuesday I guess! www.libdems.org.uk/members/make...

Inspirational first evening out in my new job at the Oxfordshire Apprentice Awards - @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social highly commended in the employer category and some amazing winners including OCC's own Kelly Liebermann who won the special recognition award - congratulations Kelly!

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· May 20

Really excited to now be the Cabinet Member for Economy and Environment. We need growth to work for the environment as well as for people and bringing these roles together will allow us to plan strategically. Looking forward to getting stuck in!

I think fixing prices in the supermarket is a bad idea and if we are concerned that people don't have enough money to buy essentials that is what the benefits system is for

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· May 16

Headed out to Princes Risborough this afternoon to support the wonderful @anjaschaefer.bsky.social - lots of people fed up with the Tories and Bucks Council and looking for alternatives 🧡🔶🧡

Me wearing a navy blue waterproof coat and pink scarf with a Lib dem badge, holding a liberal democrats calling card. You can't tell from the photo but the leaflet is sturdier than usual and so very easy to deliver - I am a fan!

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· May 9

Also we need to start caring about polls again

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· May 6

Hello polling day my old friend

An alarm set for 4:30 because apparently there's one of those in the morning as well

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· Apr 9

Gorgeous views from Hampton Poyle back towards Kidlington. Love campaigning at this time of year 💛

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· Mar 27

Canvassing in Noke today, I've made FMS reports for a blocked drain and a deteriorated road - the road is already on the resurfacing list but I'll chase. I was also made aware of a Thames Water issue which I know @calummillerld.bsky.social is working on but will check if there's anything I can do

Some nice fields and a gate in the foreground

I spoke at full council to highlight Oxford Labour's failure to build sufficient homes over many years, leaving us with the worst housing crisis in the country, exporting high prices around the county, and forcing people into overcrowded homes and ever-longer commutes.

Me in the council chamber. I'm holding a tablet and wearing the same blue dress I wear every time because it's my only smart nursing dress and you can see the grey straps from a sling because I've got the baby on my back. Cllr Toyah Overton is in front of me wearing an absolutely banging pink suit and Cllr David Hingley is next to her wearing a grey suit which is very nice but not as banging as Toyah's

Laura Gordon@lauragordon· Mar 24

Really compelling speakers today at @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social full council highlighting need for road safety improvements and active travel - Thame to Haddenhan Greenway, lower speed limits in Banbury and our own Lisa Smith talking about saving Roundham crossing between Begbroke and Kidlington

Lisa Smith presenting our petition to save roundham crossing
