    It’s been the strangest of days. My partner got called up to cover a late (2-7.30) NHS shift ( he’s a health care assistant) ahead of three 12 hour day shifts. He went in. He is extraordinary. Caring kind compassionate. Tonight I asked him a question. We get married at Christmas

    One never to be repeated tweet. I’m 71 in April, have a wonderful fulfilling and enriching job. And I’m getting married in the morning. To the man who has added meaning, richness, fun and above all love to my life. I am truly blessed. Signing off - for now

    'Oh it's even worse than I thought!' In his immediate reaction to #PMQs James O’Brien delivers a compelling analogy for Liz Truss’ attempt to defend her tax cuts. @mrjamesob | @theousherwood

    Cambridgeshire tonight. An astonishing achievement by @LibDems to gain overall control @CambsCC #Elections2025

    Developers want 21 acres of Wenny Meadow, Chatteris, - ‘predominantly open pasture/meadow’ -for 93 houses. It is before @FenlandCouncil next week. 555 neighbours consulted, 551 objected. Little affordable (10 pc max). Officers @FenlandCouncil recommend it for approval. Why? Why?
    Wenny Meadow, Chatteris, going, going, gone maybe?

    BREAKING: @CambridgeMagpie has won it. He is the newly elected Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. It is difficult to underestimate his achievement

    A young health worker at Peterborough City Hospital is working a 12 hour shift today at just over minimum wage. She is now scared to go home tonight “because of my colour” as Peterborough has been ‘chosen’ for a Far Right rally. What a fucked up world.

    Does anyone else share my opinion that in just a few days our country is - miraculously- back in the hands of grown ups? And what a better place it feels

    'Alexa, play George Ezra' and she does and working from home suddenly takes on a new dimension.
