After four interesting election days, there is a new #EuropeanParliament who will officially start their work on 16th July in Strasbourg. They will have a packed agenda, but the European endocrine community urges the European Parliament and all its members to continue the good work of the previous Parliament in the area of health and environment.

Ranton with Anton - The One That Shows How the Gravy Train effects Everyone Its like a panto I will continue the fight to keep our A&E open Oh no you wont, and what you will do is what every other The Labour Party MP does, blame the previous government. This is why i call on a system where after 150 days, people get to say if their MP is fit for purpose or not and thereby keep people in power who actually do what they promise. This is the kind of actions that genuinely makes me want to become a politician on the mandate of NOT LIKE THE REST OF THEM PARTY 1. Will ask constituents how i should vote on Key issues AND VOTE THAT WAY 2. Will ensure the promises i make at the time of elections are one's i can actually keep 3. Will stop taking freebies that have nothing to do with being an MP 4. Will take one selfie, which will be the first time i am sat on the benches 5. Will do a once a month POD cast with everything I have done in the previous month and will not use social media to blow my own trumpet 6. If in opposition, more likely, I will not blame previous government, but hold the current government responsible under the mandate - HOW WILL YOU CHANGE IT? Now all I need is another 650 people with the same ethos as above and we have a real shot of making changes #ANTONFORPM or #ANTONFORAM or #ANTONHASLOSTTHEPLOT #NOTLIKETHEMMOVEMENT https://lnkd.in/eBaXdNKa
