So very sorry to hear about Helen’s passing. After the tragic loss of Garry, she transformed her own pain into a lifelong mission to seek justice and change - championing the rights of victims with an unshakable sense of purpose. Thoughts are with Paul, Zoe, Danielle and Amy

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

This really doesn’t make sense - there are world leading university programmes in the North that are missing out in Global Talent Funding - @UKRI_News should think again!

90% of all criminal cases dealt with by lay magistrates- some very sensible recommendations from the @magistrates Association that would help to make magistrates feel more valued within the justice system.

Not an unfamiliar experience in Magistrates Courts. There are simple steps that could be taken to address failure to attend court, reduce adjournments, reduce time spent on warrants by police and to get more on the day reports from probation.

Happy #CheshireDay! So many lovely places to visit but you can’t beat a Sunday roast at a village pub #AppletonThorn

Aside to the concerns of the MoD - surely we should be focused on UK resilience and #growth by backing the many UK based suppliers to support jobs here - with a longer view to exporting our technology around the world?

Huge setback for Merseyside and the North West and totally at odds with the Government’s drive for growth. It’s all very well saying the ‘mission is growth’, the evidence appears to show that when it comes to delivery it’s just words!

He’s a very special talent 🎯 #WorldDartsChampionship Well done @LukeTheNuke180 World Champion 🏆

Huge impact of overnight torrential rain in Cheshire with #Bridgewater Canal collapse where it crosses the River Bollin near Little Bollington. Massive volumes of water lost from the canal into surrounding land - happened once before in 1971

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning. We will remember them.

Excellent thread - most of the narrative of the last few months seems to have totally forgotten the impact the pandemic had on our public finances.

Fascinating changes, particularly over the last 30 years

Worth saying the rules are there to ensure there is transparency in terms of influence in politics. The rules don’t prohibit politicians from accepting gifts they are there to make it clear who’s donated what and when.

Im sure I’m not alone asking why the PM felt it was necessary to accept gifts of clothes and glasses totalling £20,000 - how many grey suits does he need - and what does that really say about Sir Kier’s commitment to this being a Government of Service and the integrity promised.

The rectification process was used by the Standards Commissioner in 2022 after Sir Kier failed to register eight interests. Repeated breeches are likely to be treated more seriously. These rules are the personal responsibility of the MP, regardless of their role in Govt.

Energy secretary Ed Miliband nationalises National Grid’s electricity system operations unit. It was doing a perfectly good job as currently constituted but Miliband wanted it under public ownership. At a £630m cost paid for by taxpayers but then recouped by charges on household
