No I didn’t know that. I should imagine she was one of the first women to be a Freeman.

That’s great news. Many congratulations.

Staggering profiteering from the 5 main private companies providing cataract removals to the NHS. £169 million in 2023-24 alone - a profit margin of 32%. This is taxpayers' money being squandered on private payouts. Efficiency, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

🍺🍏 Brilliant to join 100+ cider makers in parliament hosted by NACM, to discuss this important industry that makes up a thriving part of our economy and rural communities nationwide. 👏 Thanks to my @libdems.org.uk colleague @sarahdykeld.bsky.social for co-hosting such a great event!

I’ll be on BBCR4 Today programme just after 7.30am discussing the Covid Inquiry’s extraordinary decision not to question a single PPE supplier this week - what an absolute whitewash.

The post-Grenfell #EndOurCladdingScandal continues. Many leaseholders inc in St Albans were told their homes were safe but now don’t know if they are, as some EWS1 safety forms may have been issued fraudulently. I’ve secured a meeting with Ministers and want police to investigate

Yesterday - the same day RFK was sworn in as Trump’s Health Sec - the Louisiana Dept of Health’s top official sent a memo announcing the dept would “no longer promote mass vaccination.” This will kill men, women & especially children. It’s the triumph of conspiracist madness over science.
