I’ll never forget a woman in Leeds West I spoke to, who had purple fingers because her pension wasn’t enough to pay for the heating.
We must act now.
Labour's plan would save a pensioner living alone 26p for every £1 of their pension this winter. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/l…

Made my first lavender wand and a family of corn dollies.. ever so slightly untidy, but not bad given it was my first attempt. The smell of the lavender was divine and some workaholic evening bees joined me. Recommend for a de-stress activity #lavenderwand🌻🌞🌸🐝 #corndolly

We had a fabulous first day at Bradford Literature Festival. Flamingos flounced, Cheshire Cats grinned and lots of fantastical florals were planted! #BradfordLitFest @BradfordLitFest
