Next door’s house and chimney with a small patch of blue sky behind it. The rest of the sky is grey and dark green clouds. There is a little dot of blue but it’s only a reflection on the window I took it through. Love a moon but can never photograph it with my phone!
Well, it looked better than that through the lens but good night anyway!

A poster largely made up of a photo of Ray McHale who is a man with short brown hair wearing a red polo shirt and smiling into the camera. The poster says "strawberry ward by-election, thursday 2nd october, vote Ray McHale Independent, a socialist and trade unionist"
Some detailed election thoughts as we approach election day, which any councillor might want to take up.

Thank you to everyone for your help this weekend - to Anne, Vicki, Kenny, Mark, Kevin, Nigel and Steve who joined us for canvassing and to Ian and Jeanette who set up another stall with me at Hope Farm shops on Saturday morning

A photo of Ray stood behind a small table completely covered in piles of different leaflets. There are signs taped to the front of the table that say "every worker needs a union" and "want a pay rise, join a union". Ray is also holding some of the leaflets and looking at the camera. He is wearing a red polo shirt and a green zip-up jacket.
I went down to the Port Arcades this morning to set up a stall for the Trades Council, promoting trade unions at the Jobs Fair.

A screenshot of a facebook comment by Ray McHale that reads: Anonymous participant 487 Our council don't determine how many asylum seekers are housed here - that is Serco with their Government contract. Our council did get some money from government for housing refugees from Afghanistan (where they helped our army) and Ukraine. They paid half the cost of buying housing for these specific groups. In the long run this means they will have obtained those extra council houses at half the cost - so this was a very good deal for the council. In terms of the City of Sanctuary - mainly Chester - this is about saying those who come here, men women and children, should be given support and a welcoming fitting of the civilised people we are. Helping the kids in schools, helping with English lessons, providing volunteering opportunities (often at Churches or with the local conservation volunteers) for those that are not allowed to work, but who want to contribute to society. In my view the only alternative to this welcome is some sort of hostility and bad feeling, making them feel unwelcome - even though they have no choice where they are. So I fully support the City of Sanctuary, and Theatre Porto's - Theatre of Sanctuary. Of those I have talked to at Trinity Church - many Iranian Christians who have fled persecution - you couldn't find nicer people wanting to fit in with our society. I don't want to be part of some hostility towards refugees - 75% of which are granted leave to stay in this country because there claim for asylum is up-held.
A screenshot of a facebook comment by "Anonymous participant 487" that reads "he hasn't answered despite being asked many time his opinion on the towns current status as a "town of sanctuary for asylum seekers"?. Below this you can see the start of the reply by Ray McHale which is in the previous post.
I was recently asked for my stance on Chester's "City of Sanctuary" status:
“…this is about saying those who come here, men women and children, should be given support and a welcoming fitting of the civilised people we are."

This is a video from June 2023, where I spoke at Scrutiny Committee about what is called the "Out-turn Budget", where the Council reports on what it actually spent in the previous year (2022 - 23) - compared to what it had budgeted on paper #election #cwac

Ian Prowse and Ray McHale taking a photo together. Ian is in a white shirt and has his arm around Ray's shoulders.
Ian Prowse on stage. He is singing into a microphone and playing the guitar. He is wearing a black and white vertical striped shirt and there are other band members either side of him and behind him playing 2 more guitars, the violin and the drums.
A scan of a concert ticket from Friday March 1st 1985. It says "Ellesmere Port LPYS present When In Rome plus disco (eighteens and over only) 7.45-11.30pm. Labour & Trades Club Heathfield Rd E.Port. Right of Admission Reserved. Tickets £1.50 (£1.00 with UB40) all tickets £2 on door. In Aid of N.wales striking miners.
To show how far I go back with politics in our town, Ian Prowse, played in Chester on 6th Sept. Here's a ticket from one of his first - a benefit we in the local Labour Party Young Socialists organised for Striking Miners in 1985. Our politics remain very close #ianprowse #election #cwac #chester
An image of text that says 'It's so close! Your vote will decide between Local Lizzie and Reform from Frodsham. The only way to make your postal vote really count is to back local champion Lizzie Jewkes to be our next councillor. It's a two horse race! With the Reform candidate from far away Frodsham, do you want your councillor living 15 miles away or around the corner? But Lib Dem Candidate Lizzie Jewkes will win -with your support.'
Not to be unkind to our local LibDems, but this is the worst kind of hubris and spin from them - claiming baselessly that the race is between the them and another party. Good to see a clear anti-Reform stance, but Lizzie doesn't mention a single policy or issue. #election #cwac #strawberryward
A Message for Potential Reform UK Voters Last night Reform MPs voted against the Employment Rights Bill – which seeks to ban Zero-Hours Contracts, and end the right of employers to fire staff, to the re-hire them on worse pay or conditions. They voted against workers getting Sick Pay from Day One, and against workers having the right to claim they have been Unfairly Dismissed from Day One. (Currently you have to work for 2 years before you can even challenge your employer ignoring their own procedures when firing you.) Is this what you support?
