You don't have to choose between being kind and being effective. That framing tends to be used by those who are neither.

This is @Tesco Ollerton. At the beginning of the week diesel was 150p, hiked up from the previous week. At lunchtime today it was 154p. This afternoon 156.9p. Its just one of many. So all power to @RachelReevesMP to stop this blatant profiteering.

🧵Less than 12 months after opening, Yorks cafe closed its 100-seater Paradise development branch.
A sign in the window read: "Dear Customers. We are having to close while we resolve a few issues. More announcements to follow."
No announcement followed.

@jmcollingridge Hello! I am at a mutual school friend's house, and she has a photo of you from school days (will send if you would like to see it)

There was a time when there were more mayors called Andy than female metro mayors….not anymore 💪🏻

@annekadeva @helgahenry @LouiseTeboul @SoulCityArts @cybrum @leekemp @parboo Those were great times. It makes me sad to think of it, in some ways. I know community can be built anywhere with the right space, but I got so much from being immersed in ours! I will find you on Bluesky (if you are on there?)

This is excellent news. Both @LNER and @EastMidRailway have worked hard to make this the best journey possible for @NFFC fans. Now it's down to the team !

Great news for London: myself and the other Mayors will be watching closely. Supporting the night-time economy is rightly expected of Mayors, and flexibilities like this can help us test new approaches. So bring it on!

We are so lucky to have beautiful historic buildings across the East Midlands but they are costly to run and preserve. So today I visited the public engagement at Matlock County Hall on the plans for Smedley's Hydro. @Derbyshirecc @EastMidsCCA @MayorEastMids

Today we commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day and remember all those who lost their lives. We also mark 80 years to the day since the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and death camp.

😳 Well it's one way to put the East Midlands on the map @MayorEastMids @EastMidsCCA

🎉 Great news for students and families in High Peak! My High Peak Bus Pass will continue into the new year, saving families hundreds of pounds, benefiting hundreds of students, and breaking down barriers to education and opportunity🌟📚

Brilliant to join mayors from across the country in Darlington to talk about our plans to make every part of Britain better off.

This morning Cavendish shared an insightful look ahead to next week's #Devolution White Paper with an expert panel including the East Midlands Mayor, considering the likely implications. Watch here: https://t.co/8daMIOj6mf

Watch out for more analysis next week, and get in touch!

[Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward @MayorEastMids]

At Monday’s board meeting, we’re set to approve £9.5m for big strategic projects across our region. This is devolution in action; deciding locally where investment is needed.

The highlight of my first six months as an MP has been meeting so many inspirational people quietly changing lives in Queens Park & Maida Vale.

Between now and the end of the year I wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate some of those amazing people & organisations

Sudo kids born before independence and who are named Taban (means tired/exhausted in Arabic) will always make me tear up. My people took their pain and made it their greatest joy. He’s so talented. I wish him all the joy and success. 🩷
