We are not a serious country. As @MayorOfWY says in her letter: “Other countries manage to do this faster than us. It cannot be right that it could take 18 years from the beginning of the project to the end.” Is the Leeds tram being cancelled on the DL?

Lovely to listen to our @hrsaprimary & @DOLMusic kids singing & hear the testimonies of @LeedsDYS #TheTwelve (@LeedsCitizens) on this morning’s Sunday Worship for Pentecost on @BBCRadio4. A great treat for my favourite festival! https://t.co/PeD2qu6j8q

Pope Francis was a transformative leader for the Catholic Church. His steadfast moral clarity and unshakable fidelity to the dignity of all, especially the most vulnerable, was an inspiration to the world.

Thank you, Pope Francis. The man the church and the world needed. He reoriented our gaze to Jesus in the poor and marginalized. He was a foil to consumerism and nationalism. He breathed life into the church and held it all together. Rest in peace.

Toddlers on #LabourDoorstep just want to keep moving - no time for a 2nd take! Great to be out meeting voters this weekend for @UKLabour.

🌹 Our local volunteers have been out on #LabourDoorstep this morning in Moortown & Meanwood. 💬🚮 Great conversations with voters and litter picking in our local park.

I think about this every time I visit London & get the tube. @TfL, we need answers.

I believe @RafaelNadal winning 14 @rolandgarros titles is the greatest individual achievement in the history of sport. Nothing comes close in terms of consistency & dominance at the highest level.

@macmillancancer coffee morning in full swing at HRSA. A big thank you to all our pupils for their wonderful donations #Macmillancoffeemorning @StGtG_CAT

Why can Dijon, France plan, approve, and build a 12 mile tramway in 4 years, while it takes 13 years to build a 1 mile tram extension in Birmingham? Our new report, written with @createstreets, explores how Britain can make building new tramways cheaper and faster. 🧵

I've set aside a bit of time alongside childcare fun for being a school governor at @hrsaprimary & getting more involved in politics as chair of @LeedsNELabour. Hopefully this local volunteering will help me practice some of what I've learned from the job in my own community.
