Delighted to announce Iβve been appointed the new Director of Music at the Bristol Airport multi-faith area.
On the hunt for an organist now - dm me for detailsβ¦
This week, we have opened a new multi-faith area in the free waiting zone.
Located just off the Silver Zone roundabout, the new area provides customers with a private space to reflect and pray whilst waiting to collect friends, family or loved ones.

If you have a private chef and housekeeper, your 24 hours are not the same as a single mother doing everything herself. If you have a private jet, your 24 hours are not the same as someone who takes the bus.
Wealth begets wealth because of advantages like these.
Iβm very happy to announce that Iβve been elected Chair of Wirral Young Labour this weekend!
Iβve been a member of WYL since 2015, and Iβm excited to get the chance to lead such an energised, engaged group of young people into next yearβs all-out elections here on the Wirral.
I canβt even put into words how horrifying this is, how evil it is a day after two people were murdered at a Pride event in Oslo. I think a reminder on what the Nazis subjected queer people to is needed π§΅

In the case of Kolkata, it was only known as βCalcuttaβ because of the Raj - the Bengali pronunciation was always Kolkata. West Bengalβs government changed its name in 2001, as did many other cities in India around then - Madras to Chennai for example.

Famously nothing has happened since 2019 that might have changed the likelihood of large crowds gathering indoors.

Speaking with a hindsight as someone who struggled a lot with maths, GCSE maths has plenty of real world problem solving uses, but Iβm not as convinced about A level maths.
We should focus on getting more students enthused at a younger age than making the A level compulsory.

I have numbers for you. 165 cases of alleged electoral fraud investigated regarding the 2019 GE, leading to 1 conviction. In all of 2019βs elections there was a total of 4 convictions.

How will it help lesbians or gay or bisexual people? It keeps sexual conversion therapy for over 18s legal so long as they consent, which clearly shows no understanding of the problem.

Someone on the door a couple of weeks ago told me it was a disgrace that Wirral councillors earn Β£100k, and he would not believe the true figure. I really wonder where people get this information from
In 14 years of singing choral music I have never walked out of a service, until today. The homophobic, anti-women, hate fuelled rant I heard at the York Oratory today would have been shocking in its bigotry in 1822, let alone 2022 π§΅

I would like to agree with you but I canβt here. We must ask if Wakeford would have been selected to stand for the Labour Party in 2019 or not, with his beliefs. I donβt believe he would have, nor do I believe he truly stands for Labourβs values
Atrocities against queer people continued up to and including the Holocaust, in which some 100,000 were imprisoned and up to 15,000 were killed. Clearly this is of no import to Laurence Fox
It turns out that the best way to ignore the horrors going on in Number 10 is to spend 3 hours braising beef and making a ragΓΊ.

What a disappointing article to see in the Observer. GCSEs are not and should not be the only metric by which we measure student success. Irrespective of exams, museums provide a fantastic service for young people.
The Pensby Conservatives - whose majority has been slashed from 558 to 32 - should know Iβll be scrutinising them every day for the next year, standing up not just for the people who voted for me, but for everyone in our area.

In 1919, the Institut fΓΌr Sexualwissenschaft was set up in Berlin, by Magnus Hirschfeld, whoβd long campaigned for LGBT rights in Germany. He also established a library around same sex love.
A closed event in Winter during a global pandemic years from a GE, vs an open air rally in summer 2017 shortly after the election.
These are definitely the same, apt analysis indeed.

I do not understand this reaction. When someone outlines the problems the Labour Party has in regards to trans rights we should be seriously concerned that weβre regressing on social issues. Your tweet just waves away valid concerns.
I want Wirral Young Labour to give our members even stronger campaigning skills, to empower them to stand for positions in both the party and local government, and to offer a forum for the rich diversity of thought we have in Labour.

The institute was set up as a scientific establishment to research progressive studies on sexuality and gender. Early work on understanding gender and sexuality as a spectrum was carried out here, and surgical services were offered.
Opera is for everyone. I note that Dominic Raab didnβt bring up the sometimes prohibitive cost of arts music to do something about it (because he doesnβt care), but just to deride a working class woman.
Dominic Raab wonβt approve but I did indeed go the opera last week (it cost me Β£62).
