Very sad to hear about the loss of Timothy West.

He voiced Mop on my Dad’s TV show Mop and Smiff. His bombastic and characterful voice was a huge part of what made this show a success!

Great to get out and about today putting this video together to show vital work taking place in Greater Manchester 🏠

🏘️ Your home should not do you harm - it should set you up to succeed. But people can feel helpless and trapped in poor housing.

Today we welcomed new apprentices to the ranks of local teams cracking down on bad practices and helping protect renters across Greater Manchester.

It was amazing to hear all about her latest work ‘The Examiner’ and her creative process 📚

I finished her latest book last week and it’s another gripping page turner!
