When adults and children with care needs represent a growing proportion of our population it is nothing short of neglect that the government does not prioritise the care sector as part of their economic growth strategy.

Disabled people and those who care for them deserve our support and they deserve clarity from this government. Today, Ed Davey pressed the PM to rule out cuts to disability benefits for those who simply cannot work. Worryingly, he chose not to answer.

Watson was a little miffed his walk was a little slower than usual but a bag full collected along Mill Pit Lane this morning ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป. Also discovered the dog waste bin was overflowing so reported it. Remember, normal waste bins are emptied more often, so use those if you can ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

An absolute shambles from the Government. Sneaking in cuts to this vital fund over Easter, after promising to extend it, is a new low. A kick in the teeth to adopters and special guardians. We must do better.

Itโ€™s appalling that the Labour government has kicked into the long grass the rebuilding of Leeds General Infirmary - we wonโ€™t get a look in until 2032! Letโ€™s hope the task force gets us a fairer priority on investment
