On this wet and windy day, transport yourself back to a summer of sunshine, outdoor swimming and fun. Today's #NWFAdailyreel heads to the beautiful newly-opened Grange Lido in 1932. Watch via the @BFI player player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/… @savegrangelido @LoveYourLido @MorecambeBayUK

Three years ago over 800,000 Rohingya Muslims fled their homes in Myanmar where govt security forces torched their villages and killed civilians. We must remember those who lost their lives and those who were affected, and ensure that such horrific actions can never happen again.

This is an $807.96 charge for insulin. The NHS might not be perfect, but it won’t charge you hundreds of pounds for vital medicine to keep you alive. Please RT if you won’t take it for granted.

Really dissapointed for my brilliant and talented PHE colleagues who give me wise counsel on complex PH challenges. These are rare skills and realistically local authorities cant fill all the gaps. Everyone in PH is flat out ...the timing couldnt be worse...
Very proud at the professionalism and commitment of all at @PHE_NorthWest who continue to do an amazing job in protecting and improving health - many hard at work today. Messages of support from NW DsPH and others demonstrate the value they bring. Thank you.

I can assure you that I will not be withdrawing my legal action until we have justice for BTEC students too.
Replying to @andyburnham
@AndyBurnhamGM just to let you know, btec and other vocational quals not included in u turn. One grade drop at btec is equivalent to 2 a level grade drops in terms of ucas points. So many students still affected.

And you failed.
The first responsibility of any Government is to protect its citizens, & the threats to public health are amongst the most important of all. Threats like #coronavirus can emerge anywhere at any time, so we must be ready to beat this virus & to protect all of us all of the time.

She is married to Tory MP John Penrose, who sits on the advisory board of think tank 1828 which calls for "the NHS to be replaced by an insurance system and for Public Health England to be scrapped. Well. That's stage 1 completed... bbc.co.uk/news/health-538134…

Aka we have been bunged a load of money by properly developers and we need to pay them back so they bung us more at the next election. Sorry if this means any local say in planning gets the boot. But the dosh donors come first. I’m sure you understand. Folks.
We’re going to cut the red tape and reform our planning system so we can build better homes faster.

Here’s my reply to Greater Manchester Conservative MPs 👇
Our MPs @Christian4BuryS and @JamesDalyMP have signed a letter from Greater Manchester MPs to Matt Hancock in relation to Andy Burnham's comments yesterday stating that it was ‘impossible’ to lift the restrictions in any single borough.

Clueless Tory MPs write to @MattHancock complaining about their own Government's #lockdown policies but asking if they can blame it on @AndyBurnhamGM. Andy responds with more diplomacy than they deserve. Hope Hancock replies "Guys (and Mary)...I think you should watch your tone" – at North West, England
I noticed MPs have had 8 pay rises over the last decade. So I’d like to suggest, in the spirit of solidarity, when the next one is due, we give them a few claps, bang a few saucepans, charge them to park at work, and we call it quits. Agreed?

Project Fear. All coming true. There will come a time when the liars and charlatans who delivered this in the the face of so much evidence will emigrate to escape the consequences of the damage they have done to their own country.
The implications of Johnson refusing to extend the Brexit transition despite the disruption caused by #Covid_19 could mean more deaths. As indicated by the government, stockpiles of medical supplies have been "used up entirely" by the virus. #Brexit @BorisJohnson @Conservatives

It's time to end this charade now and reform the House of Lords. It's long overdue. My letter in @guardian today. @TribuneMPs – at North West, England
