Replying to @Andrew4Didsbury @TimKingShrops @BBCNews
Well done Mike Matthews!! It's a great hotel! Maybe there'll be some jobs for some of them in the future. Shrewsbury is a great place to be isolated especially in the Prince Rupert! 👍

Watched this inspirational @BBCNews item and was most impressed. The vast majority of the homeless people in The Prince Rupert Hotel in Shrewsbury have stopped taking drugs. Hopefully that continues when the lockdown ends and they move on to their own new normal.

A deeply moving interview on @BBCNews with Mike Matthews, owner of Shrewsbury's Prince Rupert Hotel, who instead of closing over lockdown opened his rooms to 25 homeless guests. A model of quiet, reflective empathy that we would all do well to aspire to. (Starts at 09:35am today)

History repeating itself? Home Intelligence report Nov 1944, re: news reporting. There are slightly more complaints - chiefly of overoptimistic reports and misleading headlines, and of repetition. On the whole, however, news presentation continues to be thought satisfactory.

I know many new starters were affected by furlough cut off, which I raised with Treasury Ministers. This is a welcome change, giving security to more people. gov.uk/government/news/furlo…

Furlough scheme cut-off date extended to 19 March

Thousands more employees will able to receive support through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) after the eligibility date was extended to 19 March 2020, the government announced today.

This is the memorial to General Rowland Hill, 1st Viscount Hill, who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. St Mary's Magdalene is a beautiful little church with Kempe stained glass windows, tiny carved winged lions & even a green man. Hadnall #Shropshire #favouritechurches

I simply cannot believe the insensitivity of the Home Office today re-issuing their advice on a new #immigration system in which #carers are low-skilled! Many are at the frontline in a #pandemic. Shame on you. ⁦@scottishcare⁩ gov.uk/guidance/new-immigrat…
