Huge thank you to Lesley and Beverley Murray who put on an incredible show every year for charity. Their last show will be on Christmas Eve at 6pm.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
At the end of The Empire Strikes Back the rebels are desolate. Han Solo is frozen in carbonite. Luke Skywalker has been defeated in battle by Darth Vader, losing a hand in the process. The Emperor's victory was total.... until the Jedi returned.
Not sure what made me think of that.

Rachel Reeves is the most qualified Chancellor this country has had in modern times - she wouldn't have had a career at the Bank of England and been endorsed by its former governor.
A chancellor who has never run a business and reports to a prime minister who has never run a business and is advised by civil servants who have never run a business - is about to advise business owners how to run a business.
Today I’ve been at a Home Office meeting with @jessphillips talking all things tackling domestic abuse perpetrators. Lots of good work to build on and lots to feed into my new Police and Crime Plan.👍👍
The driving purpose of this government is to deliver for working people.
Fix the foundations.
Renew public services.
Invest to rebuild our country.
That is the change we will deliver.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says "if people want to criticise the path" Labour choose in the Budget, "that's their prerogative"
"If they think tax rises are unfair, let them tell working people which taxes they'd raise instead."
This is a landmark week for Britain.
For the first time in 15 years, our Budget will put working people first.
The truth is, the Tories left you to pay the price for their chaos.
We will clear up their mess. Step up in tough times, not stand back.
We will deliver change.

Robert Jenrick says Labour are wrong to release prisoners early. Jenrick was part of the Conservative Government that released prisoners early and left the prison estate so overcrowded and under resourced that prisoners had to be released early. He must think we’re all idiots.
