Your article on social care hit the spot @guardianheather.bsky.social . My mum had dementia and now in my seventies I live in fear. I have long argued that we need a Royal College of Social Care to give proper status to our wonderful care workers. Crack on www.theguardian.com/business/202...

My sadness with the Green Party is that it’s passion for the environment has been hijacked

I have been in love with France for most of my life. I am no linguist, but learnt enough French to work there in the 70s. Few things give me greater joy than seeing a coming together over the #BayeuxTapestry Tension as in any relationship are overcome www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Why the Bayeux tapestry and Franco-British relations are natural bedfellows

Tapestry’s loan to UK is just another chapter in the love-hate relationship that has spanned the centuries since it was created

@mrjohncrace.bsky.social it is interesting. I remember thinking that Starmer was right in his dealings with Trump. But seeing Andy Burnham treating him as an equal restores dignity to this island nation. Not the pretence of Empire, but quiet confidence. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Please can we think more widely. The voters say they want less immigration and there is a huge need for people with empathy and communication skills in the care sector. Why should careers in caring not be graduate jobs? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social thank you for speaking out. I fear for my grandchildren- the girls for what they may face, the boy from the influences he will face.

@catneilan.bsky.social I need to understand why more North Sea oil and gas would help. We buy oil and gas from the major oil companies who already have more than enough reserves, Norway for example. I respect Andy Burnham and understand there is a gap to be bridged… observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Why should the colour of someone’s skin be criteria for inclusion in an academic grouping. I would have thought more logical groupings would be based round academic disciplines or institutions.

Thank you for opening the window on Clacton which as a child in the fifties I loved. ‘ we can get back to what’s left of the summer, the lives Farage has no clue about or interest in and keep talking about the things that really matter in Clacton: litter, landlords, potholes, parking…’
