A litany of pathetic and transparent excuses for the appalling decision to betray the brilliant Rovers Women and to throw away this hard won place in the league. I didn’t think my opinion of our abysmal owners could sink any deeper… Shame on them.

Club Update. #Rovers 🔵⚪️

Cumbria welcomes 20 million visitors every year. And yet we get almost no extra funding support for highways, health services, or the police. Today, I urged the Chancellor to make sure that those services that support residents and visitors are properly funded 👇 https://t.co/0D27H3JIdD

The previous Conservative Government's dreadful deal with the EU helped contribute to a 41% drop in livestock farmers' incomes. News of better access to the EU market is encouraging, but farmers need to know when they will be able to see the benefits. My question to the PM👇 https://t.co/2tTtFrYlSy

In rural communities we particularly depend on volunteer drivers to help people who live hours away from hospital appointments. I asked the Health Minister to direct ICBs and trusts to support those volunteer drivers, so they are valued and patients are not isolated. https://t.co/bpjPxloVqu

Kemi B’s response to the statement is woeful. You can critique the deal and challenge its weaknesses without being fundamentally anti-business and unserious about economic realities. I’m not sure what the point of the Tories is now?

Adam Wharton is an FA Cup winner!!!🏆 Well done Palace!

A great afternoon out on the streets of Kendal, meeting lovely people on a lovely day. https://t.co/bovOx5rIPT

3 weeks since the London marathon… and 4 weeks until the Windermere Marathon. I did an 18 miler this morning round the stunning Kent Estuary. I’m running the Windermere marathon for ⁦@Brathay⁩ to support their amazing work with young people in Kendal. https://t.co/rJYMTwtBB0

Today’s debate showed that there is significant movement against the bill amongst MPs, and that the movers are keen to close down debate and avoid scrutiny. As expert opinion grows against this dangerous bill, you can see why…

RT @RightToLifeUK: Tim Farron MP (@timfarron): 47% of people in Oregon cited being a "burden" among their reasons for assisted suicide. Sho…

I am deeply concerned about the impact of the Assisted Dying bill. Doctors raising assisted suicide with a patient who is under hidden coercive control could be very dangerous. It risks handing power to the patient’s abuser, who could exploit this recommendation. https://t.co/cTpchHvpAf

RT @FarmersGuardian: 📊 Citing a recent Farmers Guardian survey, the latest EFRA report points out the strain UK farmers are now under, with…

For the mover of a bill to present such a huge number of amendments to their *own* bill suggests a serious lack of confidence in its safety and rigour. In 20 years I’ve not seen anything so shambolic. Even supporters of the bill must surely see that the bill can’t pass like this.

Down to Westminster tomorrow for the Assisted Dying debate. The evidence is increasingly clear that the bill is a threat to vulnerable people. Almost half of those who opt for AD in Oregon do so because they fear ‘being a burden’. The bill is illiberal and inhumane.

A busy afternoon and evening in wonderful Appleby. I held my surgery, then had time on the doorsteps before giving a talk to the Appleby Society. All in stunning weather! https://t.co/jWPlaFxgcJ
