I was absolutely spellbound tonight by #echo @royalcourt an act of time and space travel, a touching reminder that life itself is but a play with no rehearsal & that human connection is everything & also the only thing ❤️

Such a classy & generous exchange ❤️
Thank you @ThangamDebb for your 9 years as a brilliant, hard-working constituency MP. I will do my best to continue to help the people of Bristol Central as well as you have done. And your words on Thursday night about democracy were very moving, thank you.
