Out delivering consultation leaflets to neighbours to see if we should hold a street party for #VEDay in May as @lutoncouncil.bsky.social has waived the fees for road closures. Met a lovely neighbour Rachel who hadn't met before and is well up for the idea.

Incredible Luton written, produced, directed and performed theatre last night; a new rave based on the Marsh Farm Riots from 30 years ago. Superb.

So last night after 6 months plus of hard work we got to announce we had secured Β£229,991 for #PrideInLuton from @tnlcomfund.bsky.social to run our support and social groups for the next three years.

Huge thanks to National Lottery players.

Now just 40k a year for the festival to find...

Listening to @bbcradio4.bsky.social right now from folk from hull. The guy just now cited increase in minimum wage as issue but in next breath said they were highly skilled and highly paid.

You can't moan about min wage increase and say you pay high wages.

Shame you didn't clip this to include the ministers response. Or acknowledge the green growth limits that link to legislation. Don't let facts get in the way though. I mean let's not forget tuition fees promises

It's tied to green controls. It can't expand unless it meets these criteria set out in legislation. It's OK for your constituents to use it the most but God help if it helps one of the most deprived towns in the UK to flourish.

Lovely if not very different day for how I would normally celebrate my birthday now "whirlwind" is with us. A farm with soft play and now a glass of wine on the sofa.

I don't think I'd change it mind to what we used to do. We still get to see folks tomorrow afternoon too.

An unpopular opinion but in the UK i think we should raise income tax by 7-10% for everyone.With that comes free childcare from 9 months to school age and free social care, like the NHS.The vast majority would eventually agree its the right move but no political party would ever introduce it

Teaching your toddler to say Gok as he's reading tonight's bedtime story, my two daddies. (One of our favourite books to read).

When you remember your tart tin sticks more than Boris ever did to covid rules so end up making vegan mincemeat samoas instead.

Hear me out, I recon I'm on to something here mind as the amount of mincemeat to pastry is far better than traditional pies.
And filo cheese tubes

Watching #Bing with our 2 year old and the panda takes his shorts off in the park? Why? This isn't something you want children to mimic? It's just plain weird?! @cbeebies.bsky.social

Let the wrapping commence.

Zero plastic and microplastics this year with paper, string, #biodegradable glue and dehydrated oranges using the air fryer over last few months.

Lovely visit to the Fancott Miniature Railway for the santa express. The little whirlwind loved the train. Think will become a bit of a christmas tradition.

Trees up and Stockings up. And a little tree in the little man's room, along with a dinosaur stocking. Just the outside of the house to do now.
