@davechowns @AndyBell_info @rewindfestival Dreadful performance at Rewind South - no “Respect” to audience or fellow performers. Shameful. #rewindsouth

When will the flooding issue at the top of Newnham Road Hook ever be resolved? Gone on for years. Pity the homeowners struggling with wellies and slippers every time it rains hard.
Today made worse by closed alternative path. @hantshighways #Hampshire #hampshirehighways

Great policing - also supports the need for train conductors. They are an essential support for passengers in many circumstances.

Last week, an officer travelling home from his shift heard passengers on a train near #PottersBar helping a woman who was visibly distressed.

He identified himself as a police officer and asked what happened. She said nothing, until a man who was sat nearby went to the toilet…

Wes Streeting is right to say “I cannot for the life of me understand why the BMA is so hostile to the idea that with more staff, must come better standards for patients”. It’s surely a reasonable assertion!? Access to primary care is appalling - with investment must come reform.

So saddened by the death of Queen Elizabeth. Like so many of us, she is the only monarch we have known and served us with such dedication and dignity.
