Fantastic result for Brixham campaigners to stop this ridiculous proposed development at Upton Manor Farm.
A David and Goliath story and one that shows the power and value of community voices and engagement in the planning process.

Today is not about Brexit it is only about whether or not colleagues feel the PM is the fit and proper person to be in No10.
Unsurprisingly, I do not believe he is and I will therefore be voting against the PM tonight.
Here is to a happy, joyous Platinum Jubilee weekend.
Her Majesty’s service to the country has been unflinching. She exhibits the very best of Britishness and sets an example to us all.
Long to reign over us, God Save the Queen.
2day is #WhiteArmbandDay the anniversary of the start of ethnic cleaning of non Serb population in the town of #Prijedor, in 🇧🇦. The then authorities ordered all non-Serbs to mark their houses with white flags & to wear white armbands when leaving home. https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/world-jewish-congress-launches-social-media-campaign-to-expose-the-truth-of-the-ethnic-cleansing-in-prijedor--al-jazeera-balkans-6-2-2020

Statement from CFID co-chairs @AnthonyMangnal1 and @liz_sugg here 👇
Sorry not to be on the Russian sanction list today.
Either way UK Parliament will not be bullied by Putin and his band of thugs. We will call out his atrocities in Ukraine for what they are, war crimes.
Nope we are arguing for better procedure.
CRAG and Palt scrutiny will still go ahead.
@RuthCadbury
A good thread about the Governments latest efforts to avoid scrutiny of their deal with Australia.
Yesterday we saw the PM duck out of a UQ about UK-India trade, and now we're seeing Conservative MPs criticising the Government for a lack of transparency 👇 https://twitter.com/e_casalicchio/status/1519242551617798145
Just this morning, we have seen testimony of another appalling example of rape as a weapon of war by Russian troops. The @telegraph’s @SheridanDani reported the account of a 41 year old woman from Ukraine who said she was raped by a 19 year old soldier. 1/3
The Murad Code is a vital step to ensure justice for survivors of sexual violence - setting global standards for safe and effective evidence gathering.
Rape and sexual violence continue to be used in conflict, including in Ukraine. Perpetrators will be held to account. https://twitter.com/FCDOGovUK/status/1514191565274628099
Today we jointly launched the Murad Code at the @UN Security Council alongside Nobel Peace Prize winner @nadiainitiative & @InstituteIntl
Spearheaded by Nadia, this will enable survivors of sexual assault to record their experiences safely and improve their chances of justice.

Outstanding leadership from both men 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 👇 https://twitter.com/DefenceU/status/1512867082932793347
At a handshake distance. @BorisJohnson and @ZelenskyyUa walked through the center of Kyiv and talked to ordinary Kyivans. This is what democracy looks like. This is what courage looks like. This is what true friendship between peoples and between nations looks like.
Great to meet @ECastroES to discuss the work of @TheHALOTrust in El Salvador.
Halo are doing incredible work to reduce armed violence, dispose of weapons and support climate regeneration projects. Which is supported by the Govt.
@DavidLelliottUK #UK #ElSalvador #Development
#Afghanistan is becoming the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. Recently @CFIDinfo co-chair, @AnthonyMangnal1 held a Parliamentary meeting with @TheHaloTrust, @SaveChildrenUK and @WarChildUK plus Times journalist @ChristinaLamb to give updates. https://cfid.org.uk/cfid-briefing-afghanistan/
Pleased to be able to ask an Urgent Question to @FCDOGovUK on what is being done to prevent sexual violence in in conflict.
The accounts coming out of Ukraine are horrific. We must ensure crimes are documented, survivors supported and perpetrators brought to justice.
#PSVI
The sexual violence perpetrated by Russians in #Ukraine is horrifying.
I asked the Prime Minister if the UK will do more to provide support to NGOs helping victims & survivors on the ground @CommonsIDC
We must do more to bring perpetrators to justice and to support survivors of sexual violence in conflict.
@FCDOGovUK #PSVI @CFIDinfo
I already received reports from reliable sources about rape of women in Kherson and Kyiv regions by Russian soldiers. This is hard to confirm 100% because victims are reluctant to speak about it publicly. But my sources in the human rights community say it's indeed happening
.@RusEmbBih HMG Ambassador @MattFieldUK is a friend of Bosnia and Herzegovina & all her people. We should all support Ukraine and her people against the Russian state’s merciless aggression 🇬🇧🤝 🇧🇦 #StrongerTogether
The All Party Parliamentary Group of Conflict & Global Britain Briefing on the conflict and humanitarian situation in Ukraine is about to begin.

I just raised in @HouseofCommons the possibility of adapting some of the Titles Deprivation Act 1917 (see link) to potentially remove peerages from those Lords who have adhered to the Putin regime.
I am glad to hear the Government will rule nothing out.

CFID condemns the actions of Russia. We welcome the £40m in humanitarian assistance from 🇬🇧 Govt for the Ukrainian people and will continue to encourage further assistance to those in need.#Ukraine
This is good news. See this @CPSThinkTank paper by me and others on the case for membership https://cps.org.uk/research/looking-east-the-case-for-uk-membership-of-cptpp/
1/2 🚨 We’re on the home straight.
Thrilled we’re in the final phase to join one of the world’s largest free trade areas, CPTPP🌏🇦🇺🇧🇳🇨🇦🇨🇱🇯🇵🇲🇾🇲🇽🇳🇿🇵🇪🇸🇬🇻🇳
Joining the bloc could lead to tariff free trade for 99.9% of UK exports to #CPTPP nations.
Debate and discourse in this country are essential.
We are not America.
What happened to @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy were unacceptable.
We must do better, which means leading by example in Westminster.
What happened to Keir Starmer tonight outside parliament is appalling. It is really important for our democracy & for his security that the false Savile slurs made against him are withdrawn in full.
Am proud to sit on the green benches with @AaronBell4NUL he is a great and principled colleague and friend.
I have submitted a letter to Sir Graham Brady.
Please see the statement attached explaining my reasons.
I will not be commenting further at this time.
Standards in public life matter.
At this time I can no longer support the PM. His actions and mistruths are overshadowing the extraordinary work of so many excellent ministers and colleagues.
I have submitted a letter of no confidence.
Committee stage of the #DownSyndromeBill ✅ We now move on to the next stage in @HouseofCommons on Friday 4th February. @NDSPolicyGroup
While I believe all should get their vaccinations.
I do not believe we should be forcing those who work in the NHS out of their jobs for not having vaccinations when we need them most.
Time for a u-turn on this ridiculous policy.
To be fair this isn’t the worst nickname I have had nor will it be the last.
Chief whip Mark Spencer has allegedly lost so much authority his private nicknames for rebel MPs are becoming common knowledge
Anthony Mangnall, behind foreign aid rebellions, is “Anthony Wanknall”.
Tom Tugendhat, China hawk, is “Tom Tugentwat”

🔊NEW PODCAST! 🔊
Why is the UK to join a trade bloc centred on the Pacific Ocean?
The Economist's @SoumayaKeynes and Conservative MP @AnthonyMangnal1 talk us through the finer points of CPTPP – and what membership would mean for Britain.
https://capx.co/pacific-vim-why-should-britain-join-cptpp/
I have gone against against Government on quite a lot of matters.
I have NEVER been threatened or blackmailed by a Minister, Whip or SPAD.
It wouldn't work woth me and not sure it would with any other colleague.
Now seems like a good time to dust off my Ten Minute Rule Bill calling for by-elections if an MP crosses the floor to join another political party.
Not quite, we get together regularly to discuss a whole host of issues. Today included opposition day motions, fishing, local infrastructure projects and forthcoming debates.
A lot of hype out there today.
Colleagues of Alicia Kearns say she is not leading any rebellion - a lot of nerves around this afternoon tho - chatter about letters building altho remember no one really knows how many have been written or handed in
My new report with @CPSThinkTank out today on why joining the CPTPP is a slam-dunk for Britain - you can read my article in the Telegraph here https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/01/17/joining-trans-pacific-free-trade-pact-economic-geopolitical/
Very pleased that after a great deal of campaigning the Government has announced the closure of the second home tax loophole.
@michaelgove & @RishiSunak ‘s work ensures that second homes will pay their fair share in council tax.
This will make a big difference across the SW.

To support the PM's urgent appeal for everyone to #GetBoostedNow we will:
💉Offer every adult a booster by Dec 31
💉Make boosters bookable for 18+ from Wednesday and walk-ins from tomorrow
💉Support the NHS to deliver millions of vaccines every week
Booster jab bookings are now open for those aged 30-39 in England
Get jabbed. Get on with life.

Just to be clear - I will not be voting for the new Covid measures. They are completely farcical, unnecessary and impractical.
