First Labour Party Chair of Winwick Parish Council since 1066. Trying hard to be a loyal Labour supporter but still waiting for the 'great leap forward'.

@visitnorthyork What an easy question to answer. Any bit you can see from the North Yorks moors.

@Rainmaker1973 You can see the fire is put out by the water the tender carries a few secs in. Hydrants are used to top up the tanks on the vehicle.

@TomThomasTM @TheFigen_ Take a look again Tom and watch the two houses to the left and topography and housing of the supposed street opposite as the site is ‘developed’!

@FanHub Hate to be greedy as aMansfield fan but having missed the Harrogate game this… 8-1 win v Barrow

[michael matthews @winwicklabour]

@DaveThroup Some great photos and videos on your feed by the way. I’ll try to find time to do some math in the office next week. Keep posting very interesting. Ironically I’m working a drought case out East at the moment.

@Michael03282460 @afneil The science is that in reality coals are blended to get and end quality but the Woodhouse levels were elevated. The planning approval was challenged successfully at JR on the basis more cheaper coal on the global market would increase CO2 emissions not substitute existing coal.

@LymmRovers Great result and the firsts are 2-0 up as well 🤞

[michael matthews @winwicklabour]

@LymmRovers Good luck to both teams I’ll be at home to watch the firsts but my heart will be at the Pilkingtons sports club with the seconds!

@mansfieldtownfc Live very close to Wigan. Can’t get a ticket in the away end on line and am going to have to go to the ground and buy one in the home end unless more tickets are made available Monday.

@cooksimon @fesshole Indeed someone once put a smiley face and the words ‘yes please’ next to my name and the returning officer called us all together to view and agree it was a positive mark. Tory candidate agreed but noted he’d been a Cllr for 30 years and no one had ever done that for him.

@CalMacFerries Hi there, we were booked on a ferry that got cancelled last week to Mull from Oban on Tuesday. We travelled on Weds instead. How do we get a refund for the Tuesday crossings you cancelled?

[michael matthews @winwicklabour]

Time to find out if this new hip is up to delivering some leaflets for my former Colleagues

@ryangriffin89 @fesshole Hi Ryan, what odds are the islands bookmaker offering on FGR losing by more than 3 goals at Mansfield tonight and for balance coming away with a win. 😉

[michael matthews @winwicklabour]

@BethRigby So as early as May and as late as November and presumably a few weeks either side. That’s really narrowing this down 🤔

[michael matthews @winwicklabour]

@CllrCathyMitch A very generous nod to Terry O’Neill who I’d echo helped guide all those he knew to fulfil their potential. Many of us will miss both you and Russ. Thanks for your years of service Cathy

@mansfieldtownfc Can I just say what great photos today @mansfieldtownfc . Better than my humble effort having sneaked a ticket with a friend opposite

[michael matthews @winwicklabour]

Next week it’s a trip to Leeds from Warrington (58 miles). Journey time One hour 52 minutes. We need to elect a government that understands and values northern businesses #HS2 #NorthernPowerhouseRail

[michael matthews @winwicklabour]

Two screenshots that say it all on high speed rail for the north. Last week I travelled to Ashford 62 miles out of London. Journey Time 38 mins

@cafe_del_marv @sainsburys Same experience in Culcheth Cheshire. A woman I’d say was 70 was having to unload her entire weekly shop to self scan. Fair dues when I pointed this out, staff went to help as they then did for a man using a stick. Staff said they were prioritising unloading a delivery. Really?
