We do not care if we bought everything we need for a hobby and then don't do the hobby. Shopping for the hobby has become the new hobby.

Since 2015, an average of 53 bank branches have closed every month nationwide. Over 85% of banks in Waveney Valley have shut during that time.

This isn’t sustainable.

I’ve written in this week’s EADT on why we need more banking hubs to keep communities connected. www.eadt.co.uk/news/2557825...
Opinion: Why we urgently need more banking hubs
We cannot allow rural East Anglia to become a patchwork of communities without access to cash or local banking.

Yarn-bombing is thought to have originated in Texas USA, instigated by clothes-shop owner Magda Sayeg and a group known as Knitta Please, who began the "knit graffiti" movement to brighten up public spaces as a form of street art #Womensart

Horrific.

The far right say they want to 'protect our women' as an excuse for their thinly-veiled racism. But sexual violence against women & girls isn't caused by an attacker's race. It's dangerous men asserting power over women in the most damaging way. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was pleased to attend the Macmillan Cancer coffee morning in Parliament last week.

Private water companies have ripped off customers and polluted our rivers and oceans for far too long.

It's time to bring them all into public ownership.
