Fantastic news we have just received planning permission for the restoration of the Rose Garden Cafe in Graves Park in Sheffield
We have come a long way since we saved the cafe from demolition in 2022 and are now working in partnership with @SheffCouncil
Reform and Nigel Farage face a watershed moment as @Channel4News reveals Reform has been accepting illegal foreign donations through back channels which have not been declared to the electoral commission. Top investigative journalism from @Verbatim_media
I’m pleased Lord Jim O Neil isn’t heading for Government. He argues against a wealth tax as a non growth measure yet advocates cuts for pensioners and people on benefits (scrapping triple
Lock and Welfare Reform) it’s ok for that as a non growth measure but not the wealth tax.
Sheet hypocrisy from @Helen_Whately on LBC about Youth Unemplyment when you look at the mess the Tories left after 14 years of their disastrous government.
And shame on @LBCNews for not pushing back with her on this @SteveHReports @Fraser_Knight

We’ve launched a campaign in Sheffield to save and reopen this wonderful building as a centre for arts, learning, health, culture, and social enterprise, which was the home to the Ruskin museum for 63yrs. It has been empty and neglected for the last 3yrs

The @TPT_National cycle route 67 from Wombwell to Leeds is a delightful mixture of off road woodland and urban trails, canal paths and country parks with some lovely stops for coffee & cake !

A new headstone for the first captain of Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough Ambrose Langley was unveiled today in the presence of members of his family and Sheffield Wednesday supporters including the new chairman of SWFC David Storch who had just flown in from the US @swfc
Welfare should NOT be cut to pay for more weapons. Why is it that comfortable middle class politicians and others always reach for punishing poor people and families in poverty in the defence debate rather than tackling child poverty and the youth unemployment crisis? @CPAGUK
Cycling in North Wales is a wonderful revelation especially on the Sustrans NCN Route 8 along beautiful easy and mainly flat off road and woodland trails with castles and mountain railways along the route!
