It was great to join this Ministerial visit to Ystradgynlais banking hub with @JaneHutt and @MarkDrakeford on behalf of @LINK_ATM_Scheme. A real example of how industry, government and local elected representatives are working together to meet the cash needs of communities.

Just got called “young man” by a London waiter. The guy knows how to secure a decent tip. 😂

@Calderdale Council has received a glowing report from Ofsted for our work protecting children from harms outside the home - including exploitation, grooming gangs and radicalisation. There is no responsibility more important to our council than safeguarding our children.

At the fantastic and very popular Northern Broadsides and @CultureDale2024 “Iron People” event at @eurekamuseum! So much fun for the kids and very educational!

I’m abseiling down the massive Wainhouse Tower next month for the Mayors charity, St Augustine’s Centre. I’ve never abseiled before so it’s pretty terrifying! If anyone can chip in a few bob I’d be really grateful: justgiving.com/page/adamwilk… @infostaugs @AnnKingstone @Calderdale

We introduced a council tax exemption for @Calderdale foster carers last year. Find out more about the benefits of fostering and how you could transform a vulnerable child’s life.👇

Thank you to everyone who joined the protest against the incinerator today. The fight goes on! To be kept informed on the legal battle, the community fundraising effort & all the developments in the campaign email thebenbowgroup@gmail.com and ask to be added to the mailing list.

I swear the BBC just have Sophie Ellis Bextor and Craig David on rotation every year. Whoever their agents are must be playing a blinder.

Finally making the switch to Bluesky. Find me on there at @cllrawilkinson.bsky.social

Halifax ❤️🎉🎄

Brilliant to take part in Takeover Day with dozens of our children and young people shadowing @Calderdale councillors and council officers for the day. Thanks to @Kate_Dearden also for allowing us to join her on a constituency visit.

We Will Remember Them. #RemembranceSunday

A victory for hate, discrimination, misinformation, felony, autocracy, misogyny, climate denial, trade barriers, global insecurity and most of all for Putin. A dark day.

“Bob Dylan is a figure that arises every three or four hundred years”. Leonard Cohen - himself a musical hero of mine that I was lucky to see live - captures why I’m currently on my way to Liverpool on my own to see Dylan. Possibly the greatest singer songwriter of all time.

Wow. Interesting way to set about winning back the trust of the public on day one of your leadership.

@skytv Hi. I have a Sky engineer booked for tomorrow but my broadband has not been activated as planned. Will the engineer still be able to do the Sky install or do I need to reschedule the visit?

Calderdale Council Leader Cllr Jane Scullion: “SEND funding is our number one ask of government.” @jeaniekerr

Really pleased we’ve allocated £23m to create more specialist school places. This will save the council millions in the medium term, but more importantly, it will transform the lives of some of our most vulnerable children and young people. halifaxcourier.co.uk/educati…

Leeds, why do you constantly do this to me? 🤬🥲🤦‍♂️ #lufc

A pleasure to be at the opening of Calderdale’s first banking hub in Elland this morning on behalf of @LINK_ATM_Scheme In an increasingly digital world, access to face to face banking remains important, particularly to the 3 million people who still rely on cash every day.
