Come and visit Woolshops in Halifax! Thriving stores including a pristine Boots. But we have the amazing Piece Hall which pulls in many visitors who spend a bit of money here.

Yes indeed , I posted similarly. All about the (failed) men in the news bulletins, diminishing the (successful) women. But well done to those women!

But worse than this is that the actual winner (a woman) has literally been dismissed whilst the feral media mash up the (male) loser. Even channel 4 did not mention her win in the introduction of the by election until much later.

My Egyptian born husband gave 40 years service to NHS as an obstetrician and a GP. He proudly uses his British passport. Culturally speaking the passport doesn’t really care. We are a happy, culturally mixed family.Jenrick is a sad excuse for a human.

What you need to know about changes to the state pension 👇 The most important one: it will keep rising every single year.

Very enjoyable. John, I was 70 in January and had a big party with a rock band and we choreographed a dance to Blondie’s Atomic. I wanted friends & fam to enjoy how my life was and is despite a hip replacement and the other failing. But we must bring some joy in a dark world, your writings do that!

Did you catch the PM’s speech yesterday? He set out practical help for people today - and was clear about the big calls that need to be made in the months ahead. Here are 5 key takeaways:

You are very kind and thank you so much! I already know that I have brain changes in small blood vessels. So I do every recommended thing to keep things at bay. The PM is showing incredible compassionate leadership and I admire him.

Victoria, I do hope that you will balance this point with the care needs of thousands who suffer dementia and other long term conditions who currently pay £5K+ PER MONTH (My Mum).

Every penny of my Mum’s money is spent on her care home. £5664/month. She 89 in her 10th year of Alzheimer’s. We 3 siblings are baby boomers age 65/68/70. For sure at least one of us will succumb as our maternal grandma had it too. Thousands of pounds will have been paid for care.

Yet Andy still drew on his feelings for his Dad as Sir Keir did. To me it shows how Dads matter to sons.

It's reasonable to ask "How can a social care cost £200k a year when support workers earn £13 an hour?" @mrjamesob.bsky.social I checked the audited accounts of three of the UK's largest non-profit learning-disability care providers. About 82% of their spending goes on staff. @lbc.co.uk #lbc 1/

Good to read LegalC has critiqued your piece to give balance from a legal perspective rather than one to get people angry against the govt. Balance and evidence is good.

A really powerful programme full of courageous people who do true leadership for a humanitarian cause. I was reminded of Brene Brown’s courage, vulnerability and love. RNLI show up and do brave work voluntarily. The thugs attacking them are a black stain.
