Remembering the crew of the Penlee lifeboat who tragically lost their lives 43 years ago.
#RNLI #penlee #cornwall
43 years ago, eight brave crew members @penleelifeboat launched in treacherous conditions to aid the Union Star.
Tragically, 16 people lost their lives that night.
This is the crew's story told by their children. It's also a tale of hope and community resilience.

Yesterday, I attended the @duolingo event in Parliament. I highlighted the importance of our very own Cornish language, Kernewek, and asked them to include it as an option for learners.

On this day in 2001, 23 years ago, I was part of the delegation that delivered 50,000 declarations calling for a Cornish Assembly to 10 Downing St. Next week, the Government will publish an English Devolution Bill / White Paper. I call for a CORNISH DEVOLUTION BILL.
Any ideas @julian_council?

There is no English county that has its own flag, language, history, tartan, parliament, culture and heritage.
So don't call Cornwall an English county.
It's an ancient Celtic nation and a duchy.
