Lancashire Day proclamation

Happy Lancashire Day especially to @jillianw.bsky.social

Fabulous catch up with two fabulous friends - we put the world to rights although will never agree on the respective merits of Butter Pies v Yorkshire Puddings @jillianw.bsky.social @scarlettaddams.bsky.social

Oh that’s so wrong!

Pint of beer

We’re in Whitby - weather so bad we’ve been forced, against our will, to spend the afternoon in the pub with beer and a pint (!) of pork scratchings …

You’ve arrived just in time for Storm
Benjamin!

Not forgetting cob, tea cake, muffin and buns . We could add in a discussion about ginnels and snickets

Nearly! A meat and potato pie in a barm cake (see @jillianw.bsky.social for explanation) with a side of mushy peas!

But it’s got salad in it!! All wrong! BTW I think @scarlettaddams.bsky.social needs to be introduced to a Wigan Kebab asap!

😂. Wasn’t that a song 😂. I think you need a quick trip to Preston while you’re here to sample Spudbros baked potatoes with ‘tram sauce’ , washed down with a butter pie and parched peas . A whole new level of Englishness in the culinary department .

Is @scarlettaddams.bsky.social ready for this! Trust it will include beans and proper brown sauce

That’s Lancashire crisps there. Just saying…

I refuse to stoop to this level - thanks for your support @scarlettaddams.bsky.social !

Yes please!

@jillianw.bsky.social third test even better! We had tickets for Old Trafford for 2 days, just bought tickets for day 5! Off over to the dark side on Thursday for T20. Pete been warned not to celebrate too much …

Only day 2!!

We went on Sunday. I was at a conference yesterday but had it on a pop out screen discreetly! Amazing test match x

Always the Boss! Looks like Bruce struck a nerve . I can’t wait to see this ‘overrated dried up prune’ and ‘jerk’. Guess Donny never looks in the mirror! One more sleep….

Yes Kylie that’s correct

Just to be clear PIP is not an out of work benefit but the cuts will impact disabled people in employment

Thanks Jon

At the expense of disabled people? This one’s too personal I’m afraid . And I am aware there are no alternatives that’s why I have no idea how I’m going to vote. What I am going to do is see my Labour MP, get him to look me in the eye and tell me why he feels it acceptable to betray Labour values

Same here Jon. My son, in work btw, receives pip but his disability impacts at a lower range across multiple activities - he’s unlikely to score a 4 in any single one. Supported Labour all my life. Will be resigning my membership tomorrow. No idea how I’ll vote in the future .

Disability impacts daily living across a lower range of multiple activities . So he is penalised !! Labour in name only. Resigning my membership tomorrow

So a Labour Government chooses to penalise the most vulnerable people in our society. This is a political choice. As the Mum of a young man who is in work but receives pip because of his global development difficulties this is a disgrace. He will probably not be eligible in the future because his

Level across a range of activities . Penalising those least able to afford it. A Labour Government! Labour in name only. Will be resigning my membership tomorrow.

This is a choice. Fiscal rules could have been changed. As the Mum of a young man - in work! - receiving Pip which helps to supplement his low wages this is a disgrace . He will probably not be eligible for daily living allowance in the future as his global development delay impacts at a lower
