Having been away on holiday last week I am late to the news that Sir Ernest Hall has died. He gave so much to Halifax and the Calderdale community. I am deeply grateful to him and his children who continue his wonderful work. I offer my heartfelt condolences to all his family.

Outside in the glorious countryside surrounding our town, perfect weather. Session on map reading and navigation skills, and the mental and physical benefits of walking. We all have a responsibility to leave the world in a better state than we found it. #skillsforlife

There are a lot of people in the West with zero connection to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict who view it through some kind of lens where they sympathise with only one side and this turns into them dehumanising all the people on the other side. Very dangerous tendency.

Absolute pleasure to be at the briefing party for Bradford’s City of Culture 2025 programme. Lots of exciting plans for a diverse range of events and exhibitions showcasing Bradford’s people, arts and heritage.

I’m delighted to have had a small part in preparing for Little Amal’s forthcoming visit to Calderdale, and I am joyfully anticipating welcoming her to our borough. Here kindness is celebrated as a defining characteristic of local people. I look forward to seeing it shown to her.

It was a privilege, joyous and moving, to welcome Little Amal to Calderdale today. I am so proud of the welcome that the Calderdale community gave her, and it was an absolute delight to see the wonder, joy and love on many faces old and young as she wandered our streets. ❤️❤️❤️

It was my privilege to welcome the Lord Lieutenant to this lovely exhibition of beautiful and artistic penmanship. There’s also a concurrent calligraphy exhibition on the theme of “Harvest” at Halifax Minster. Both are well worth a visit.

It was a privilege to represent the People of Calderdale at this very solemn event. Thank you Virginia Lloyd DL for being present with me to honour all who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
