But our licensing rules aren't fit for purpose. I am urging anyone who wants to help boost our pubs to take part in the consultation and share your views on how to fix it.

Thanks to Lauren who invited me to visit her @SlimmingWorld session this morning at Wolseley Trust Community Centre.

So many laughs and support for everyone there today. Was a really uplifting way to start my Saturday and to celebrate folks taking control and losing weight.
