Deeply concerned to learn Nigel Farage has been appointed to steward a manor in North Yorkshire.
The plan Andy set out this morning meets the ambition and scale of change that this country has been calling for. One of hope. One that puts trust, backed by investment, in the people who know their communities best. Let’s do this!
Big speech this morning on new powers to Mayor’s, the obvious choice to talk about this on @BBCr4today …. An MP from an area without a Mayor. There are nine Labour Mayors, not that the Today programme seems to know that.

The first Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, @DSkaith, says that recent years' devolution has created an opportunity for locally elected leaders to speak up for the challenges their areas face, including challenging government on rural needs and nature.

🚨 NEW: Reform UK’s Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon previously claimed women “can’t drive” and get abortions for “vanity purposes” to “shag anyone they want”
He admitted: “I’m sexist, sorry but I am”
Over the Pennines once more with fellow Mayors to support @AndyBurnhamGM. Beautiful weather for it ☀️
It’s been an interesting day to be in Westminster laying out the great opportunities York and North Yorkshire has to offer our country. I know the Prime Minister and government are committed to delivering for this country, my conversations today are testament to that.

We are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic events at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester, which have claimed two lives and left many more affected. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who have been lost, and with the Jewish community in Manchester, here in York and North Yorkshire, and across the country.
This appalling act of violence has caused profound pain and fear, felt far beyond Manchester. At this most difficult of times, we want our Jewish community to know that you are not alone.
We stand in solidarity with Jewish residents, as we do with all communities across our region and reaffirm our commitment to doing everything we can to support you.

“I think we spend too much time talking about Reform.”
Labour need to spend more time talking about the problems the country is facing and how the government will respond to those challenges, rather than Reform, says @DSkaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire.
