Coventry City Councillor, representing Whoberley Ward. Labour. Married to Matt.
Bitter sweet to attend the funeral of Gillian Darby, taken too soon, just before her 65th birthday

Gillian stood out as an energetic and forward thinking young woman councillor, when she represented Whoberley Ward in the late 1990s. And she was much loved by her family and friends

RIP

HUGE thanks to #TeamWhoberley #TeamTaiwo and our friends, who joined us on the rainy #LabourDoorstep in Allesley Park today

And MASSIVE thanks to all the residents who took the time to speak to us. Key issues today were potholes, trees and parking

Wednesday was special

Greg graduated from Central School of Speech & Drama, in Writing for Performance

The glitziest Graduation I’ve ever seen - at Royal Festival Hall - and Jason Isaacs received an Honorary Fellowship

Greg received his degree from Matt’s former boss, Professor David Latchman

Each year I attend the Vigil to Count Dead Women in the City Centre

It’s always poignant

There is a pair of shoes for each woman or girl who has died at the hands of a man in the last year. On the hour, the names of each woman and girl is read out
