Now this is what we like to see! 👏 Please stay home and save lives this Bank Holiday Monday. Thank you to our residents and visitors for following Government advice. We are proud of Blackpool! #BankHoliday #StayHomeSaveLives 📷 Dave Nelson

If anyone is on their own during lockdown then I declare that it is absolutely normal, and to be encouraged, when you find yourself talking to objects. I just said "thank you, you are really good at what you do" to a hoover.

"I fear... that a new and even harder time of austerity will begin and that, once again, a crisis for everyone will end up being a crisis delegated to those who have least power over their own lives." @BpBurnley writes for the Crucible blog: crucible.hymnsam.co.uk/blog/crisis-wh…

Let everyone in the world enjoy this

Let’s keep retweeting this please if it’s annoyed the loathsome hypocrites who now preside over us.

It is slightly odd that the daily press conferences are being abolished, as of today, when the appalling economic phase of this crisis is only just starting

We continue to name and shame every MP in the North West that voted against #FreeSchoolMeals. Please share and let everyone know that @ScottBentonMP deprived at least 3,573 children in Blackpool of a free school meal! #EndChildFoodPoverty

Our patron Clare Balding 💙 couldn't have said it better! Read our report on LGBT+ Inclusion in schools today and Clare's full foreword here: diversityrolemodels.org/education-serv…

I've tried to watch the anti-LGBTQ video from some Christians ‘A Beautiful Story’ but find the messages far from the Good News of Jesus. Jesus loves all of us for who we are. I'm scrolling through #beautifulstory where Christian LGBTQ+ people are reclaiming the hashtag.

A privilege to be a Christian and involved in the LGBTQ community. To be part of Blackpool Pride last year was a real honour. Prayers for all who feel excluded by the Church of England #beautifulstory

Don't forget tomorrow The Blackpool Tower will open it's doors to become a Food Hub again! 😀 If you can afford to add an extra couple of items in your shopping, please drop them off at The Blackpool Tower Promenade entrance every Wednesday & Friday from 11am - 3pm.

As there's now a national lockdown these numbers need to be circulated again: Samaritans 116 123 Domestic Abuse UK 0808 200 0247 Domestic Violence 0808 2000 247 Child Abuse Helpline 0800 1111 Young Men's Mental Health 0800 58 58 58 Young Person's Mental Health 0800 068 4141

I was in touch with Tracy Charnock the other day, and she was telling me about things in the parish: St Peter with Holy Trinity Blackpool, in The CofE in Lancashire (Blackburn Diocese), about whom Madeleine Davies wrote a nice profile some years ago, are the real deal: God bless them!

As one of @ScottBentonMP 's constituents I am extremely concerned by this tweet (now deleted). What about women's rights? #IWD2022

A prayer on the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

Statement by the Archbishop of York on the death of Her Majesty The Queen

On the death of Her Majesty The Queen, we are praying for The Royal Family. Add your respects to the public online condolence book, at cofe.io/HMTheQueen.

Our firefighters were attacked on #BonfireNight last year. They were responding to a 999 call in Burnley. We're standing with North West Ambulance Service and Lancashire Police against this violence. Please retweet if, like us, you find these attacks totally unacceptable. youtu.be/76_qicChOdI
