Well done ‘Friends of Wigton Baths’ runners up in their category #BBCCumbria. Proud of my ‘little sister’ born in the midlands, moved to Sussex now settled and integrating in Cumbria.

I’ll be on BBC Radio Cumbria tomorrow at 7:40am, talking about State Pension age rises, caring, health, working-age benefits, and pension savings.

Big topics – and ones we need to talk about more.
