No one I know who has actually been inside an asylum hotel thinks they’re anything other than dehumanising and hellish. Whatever the long term answer (and goodness knows they aren’t it), we need more not less compassion in the system.

OUR GAFFER 😍😍😍 👊💛💙🇩🇪 #lufc #alaw #mot #leedsunited

Great to see #Leeds Leeds United celebrating and moving in the right direction.

Nice fly past to remember the relief and celebration felt at the end of World War 2 in Europe 80 years ago, known as Victory in Europe (#VEday80 ). Remembering all veterans, service personnel and many more who lost their lives in conflict. 🙏

Privileged to gather, remember and do a toast with those who bravely fought in World War 2 with neighbours from my street, on the eve of this Victory in Europe (VE) Day. #VEDay80

I was so happy to be part of an important meeting a couple of days back in Downing St with a group including some brilliant Oasis students, Mission 44 founder Lewis Hamilton, Keir Starmer & Bridget Phillipson about how we can ensure every young person is able to thrive in school.

Thanking everyone including Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire Ed Anderson for their support. Nice to be able to receive a British Empire Medal alongside 10 other excellent medalists.

Lifting up in prayer 🙏 all those affected by the tragic plane crash in India 🇮🇳 Ahmedabad, which was on Route to London Gatwick. People from #India bring a huge amount of good things to the UK including contributing to many Cricket 🏏 Clubs who wouldn’t survive with them.

It was a privilege to attend the West Yorkshire Policing Awards this evening at the Royal Armouries, Leeds. We heard so many uplifting and inspiring examples of outstanding service to our communities. West Yorkshire Police

Community Food Boxes can be set up on a street for people to donate into and so those in need can access. These are really useful when someone has food that’s near its use by date and they want to donate as they don’t have to wait for somewhere to open. It’s there 24/7.
