Always loved this song! Some wonderful entertainment at @ThePieceHall alongside the #MakersMarker today. On all weekend!
Speaking to residents in Boothtown this afternoon with Town Cllr Joe Thompson and the Labour team!
Massive congrats @nathanmaguire2!! So delighted for you both. What a week!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
HE DID IT!! 🥇🤩😍
Really good to meet you both and I look forward to seeing @albion_st going from strength to strength!
@HollyLynch5 it was a pleasure to meet you today over a brew @albion_st at @WestgateArcade discussing our future plans and helping the community!

Thanks for your time today @GerardW68. Really interesting to learn more about your work reducing avoidable deaths in people with learning disabilities with the #unsafeswallowproject training resources.
Positive meeting with @HollyLynch5 MP today about the #unsafeswallowproject @TheQNI and making this training a mandatory requirement to help reduce avoidable deaths in people with learning disabilities #LeDeR
I visited the @Archway_Project at Arden Road earlier this week. People who use their services and take part in activities told me how the centre and staff have changed their lives. An incredible place, which just needs sustainable funding to keep doing so much good work.
Sky-high inflation, rocketing energy bills & Bank of England warnings of recession on the horizon.
Whichever continuity candidate wins, their low-growth, low-wage plans won’t fix the damage caused by 12 years of Tory rule.
Only Labour can provide the fresh start Britain needs.
This is an absolute disgrace. It’s precisely the letter to the Liaison Committee which proves beyond any doubt that Dominic Raab owes @justinmadders an apology for dismissing the Lebedev question as ‘nonsense.’
I wrote to Dominic Raab to ask him to apologise & correct the record after he called my question to him about Boris Johnson’s meeting with an exKGB Agent “nonsense” I didn’t expect much of a reply, but he hasn’t even bothered to respond himself, let alone apologise. Pathetic.
Great to hear how your #BeInternetLegends assemblies are now produced and recorded in Halifax! Thanks to @TheParentsZone and @GoogleUK for showing me around your Park ward studio.
A big thank you to @HollyLynch5 MP for stopping by our Halifax studio for a tour – it was great to meet you and hear your tips for staying legendary online over the holidays 🙌
We hope you enjoyed seeing how we bring our @GoogleUK #BeInternetLegends virtual assemblies to life!
Thank you Holly for coming to see us after we have lost our funding to continue our incredible Recovery & Support service.
We really appreciate your support by raising this issue, and making sure the work of organisations like ours is valued and properly resourced. https://twitter.com/HollyLynch5/status/1554936395105538049
I met with Jonny and the @HealthyMindsCW team today. The services they provide are invaluable but it’s difficult to hear how they are reducing services, having been unable to secure funding. If you can and would like to support them, please do so here: https://donate.justgiving.com/donation-amount?uri=aHR0cHM6Ly9kb25hdGUtYXBpLmp1c3RnaXZpbmcuY29tL2FwaS9kb25hdGlvbnMvZDVlYjhmZDc5ZTA1NDExNTk0ZWI0ZWVlOWNlN2NhNjk=
More filming in Halifax, how exciting is this! #FullMonty2
If you've seen the film crew in Halifax today, here's why they're here

Our Skircoat Cllrs are just brilliant. Great to be out with @mikebarnes6473 Cllr Hutchinson and Cllr Kingstone this evening speaking to local residents.
First Commonwealth gold for the legend that is @HCDream2012! Massive congrats and so well deserved Hannah! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/commonwealth-games/62402312
BP and Shell are reporting bumper profits while families struggle with rising energy bills.
What does former Shell employee Liz Truss want to do about it? Nothing.
It’s time we stopped handing back billions to oil and gas giants and used that money to help families instead.
Always there in a crisis @CalderdaleFound 👏🏻👏🏻 Thinking of our friends and neighbours in Hebden Bridge after such a tragic day.
Big #ThankYou to the team @CalderdaleFound launching a fundraiser for those affected by the fire in #HebdenBridge with Covid, flooding & the #CostOfLivingCrisis, it’s tough times for businesses anyway. Show some of that #Calderdale #kindness & lend a hand when they need it most. https://twitter.com/CalderdaleFound/status/1554475596159352833
Having worked at @MatrixTSL as my first job out of Uni, watching how they have grown in recent years, selling industry leading products made here in Halifax, to countries over the world is amazing. It was a privilege to open their new space!
Last week, we were pleased to welcome @HollyLynch5 to our factory, where she officially opened our new manufacturing & production expansion. The facilities are a result of amazing growth over the past few years, as wecontinue to serve education in the UK and overseas markets.
Good to speak to people about local issues in Illingworth last night with @CllrDan, @Cllrstephclarke and Cllr Lynn. I was able to update some people we’re already helping as well as picking up new problems which need resolving.
Its #YorkshireDay and 5 years since the @ThePieceHall reopened its doors. Just have a look at all the wonder taking place every day inside since…!
It's not just Yorkshire Day, it’s also our fifth anniversary, as we mark a huge milestone of 10.5 million visitors since re-opening in 2017! From international travellers to locals who pop-in to support our independent traders. Thank you. Let’s recap the last five years...
Given the damage disposable BBQs are having, the calls for a ban are getting louder and louder.
We want to see a total ban on disposable barbecues as we prepare for a potential second heatwave. With the grass extremely dry we need urgent action to remove from sale cheap disposable BBQs that can do untold damage https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/news/2022-news/july/ban-disposable-bbqs-now-says-london-fire-chief/
Cost of living crisis: Calderdale kids as young as 5 'forced to ask neighbours for food'.
Heartbreaking, but all too common stories shared at full council this week.
It’s a priority for the council but we desperately need help from Government.

So awesome to see this. I had the privilege of seeing these @NewRoad_Halifax girls train recently. What a night they’ve had! @Lionesses
🏴 @WEURO2022 🏴
Good luck to our @Lionesses tonight!!
Bring on the final 🏆

Johnson’s letter to Parliament about his Lebedev meeting in Italy in 2018 lacks any credibility. Do he and his advisors think we’re idiots? We want straight answers to simple questions. With whom did he travel there? What did he discuss with AL? And where is the detailed record?
Boris Johnson has finally admitted meeting a former KGB agent while Foreign Secretary.
The secret meeting came in the wake of an attack on British soil and after a crucial NATO summit.
But this mealy-mouthed new statement on Lebedev raises more questions than it answers. 1/5
Remember @HollyLynch5 determinedly pushed and pushed for answers on this. Asked 7 times in the chamber to get an answer. https://twitter.com/PippaCrerar/status/1551890281313837057
NEW: Boris Johnson writes to liaison committee about 2018 meeting with ex-KGB agent Alexander Lebedev at Italian villa while he was Foreign Sec.
“This was not a formal meeting, nor something that was pre-arranged… As far as I am aware, no Government business was discussed”.
“As far as I am aware, no Government business was discussed.”
Can you imagine this from any other Foreign Sec in history. Not good enough. This letter poses far more questions than it answers.

Dismal to see Sunak/Truss competing to extend an unworkable, unethical, unaffordable, high fraud risk Rwanda scheme that will make trafficking worse.
Instead of tackling criminal trafficking gangs they are just ramping up rhetoric against refugees. Britain is better than this
Yes. https://twitter.com/DanielHewittITV/status/1551296774106644480
A thought on the Tory leadership contest, with both candidates not only trashing each other but also being very critical of the state of the country. While both Sunak & Truss offer themselves as the solution, will voters conclude the problem is ultimately the Conservative Party?
Out with Sowerby Bridge Cllrs @cllrawilkinson @DotFoster3, Audrey Smith and new member Muhammad this morning. There’s no substitute for face-to-face conversations, door-to-door.
The number of people charged for a crime has nearly halved since 2010 to a record low of 5.6%. 2 million investigations dropped without a suspect.
Gov has failed victims, and criminals are getting away with it. Only Labour can be trusted to restore law and order on our streets
Since Saturday @WYFRSCaldTeam have responded to 8 primary fires + 45 secondary fires, 14 of which were deliberate. Across WY @WYFRS have attended 734 incidents as well as supporting neighbouring regions. Absolute heroes. Thank you 🙏🏻
I had to check this to believe it
Boris Johnson, PM of GB & NI, speaks of “seeing off” the President of our Supreme Court as if law is merely an obstacle
The Court unanimously found he had acted unlawfully, not just “Brenda Hale”
It’s disgusting what he’s done to the rule of law
It was a pleasure to visit this drop-in ahead of #YorkshireDay with a Keighley focus in Parliament today. Lovely to chat to the ladies from the @BronteParsonage and learn about @wyedeanweaving with @hilarybennmp!
All your bills going up and up and up.
Taxes rising to the highest level in 70 years.
The worst economic crisis for a generation.
Not our words.
The words of those running to be the next Tory leader.
See what else they think of 12 years of Tory failure:
This a really powerful thread from @WYFRSDaveWalton
THREAD 1. ‘What the hell just happened?’ - My partner (a 999 Fire Control supervisor) and I both used exactly the same phrase as we got home from work today. The true story of today will not become clear until incidents are debriefed, call and incident numbers are reconciled, and
Please take care and look out for those who might need some extra support today, wherever you are. Thank you to the emergency services who are always on shift when we need them, whatever the weather.
London's burning.
The London Fire Brigade declares a major incident as it battles 10 blazes across the capital.
Enormous thank you to the Fire Service working so hard today, alongside emergency service partners 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Huge shout out to our Crews and Control who are super busy attending and answering calls to high numbers of incidents across the service as well as ensuring fire cover is maintained. 🚒☀️☀️☀️🔥🔥
Good to meet the @asthmalunguk team with the awesome @jessphillips and @CPJElmore this morning. 7.1% of people in Calderdale have asthma compared to 6.4% nationally. It’s why we must make more progress on improving lung health and cleaning up the air we breathe.
Jess Philips absolutely deconstructs the leadership candidates in the chamber in the no confidence debate.
What did all the candidates telling us they have honour and integrity do when Pincher was promoted? Where were they? They all cared when it suited them, why didn't they care sooner?
Proof if proof were needed, that Mr Johnson has absolutely no idea how to dress himself in a morning, let alone run the country. Watch this:
I asked the Government 7 times if Boris Johnson met with Alexander Lebedev. 4 times at the despatch box, I was fobbed off by;
- Home Secretary
- Security Minister x 2
- Minister for the Cabinet Office
Lovely weather for the @HolyNativityMix Church Fair today. What a team they are with @MixyIntern in charge of all fun and games! Well done to all those involved and sorry I missed out on the tug of war!
Things are off to a cracking start at our church fair! Why not come down for more fun and games on Holy Nativity’s park?

A big thank you to Shadow Security Minister @HollyLynch5 for meeting with members today and hearing thoughts on carbon offsetting at the Great Yorkshire Show.
At the #GreatYorkshireShow this afternoon and so good to see Halifax’s very own #DamaCheese in such demand! Thanks to @NFUtweets for your time #BackBritishFarming #LoveYorkshire!
When you see and hear the details of what the 76 nominees have faced in the line of duty, it really hammers home the risks they face. Massive well done to all the nominees. Always great to see Deputy National Chair @PFEW_Tiff
Such a privilege to be at the #PoliceBravery awards 2022 this evening with @YvetteCooperMP to see PS Mike Watkins and PC Tom Swift win the regional award for tackling a man wielding a knife on a bus.
MPs @YvetteCooperMP and @HollyLynch5 join our West Yorkshire regional winners at the #PoliceBravery Awards tonight
In the middle of everything else going on last week, Boris Johnson told MPs he met Russian oligarch and ex-KGB officer Alexander Lebedev without officials present. If you've not followed this story in detail, we've pulled the different strands together.
I asked because I have a constituent who has been waiting - just for their substantive interview since March 2021.
The Home Office were unable to provide @HollyLynch5 with information on how long people are currently waiting for substantive interviews as part of their asylum claim.
Instead, the answer refers to the immigration statistics https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-07-04/30072
What on earth is going on?
Why has @pritipatel refused at last minute to go to @CommonsHomeAffs so MPs can ask her about;
- passport delays
- asylum delays
- rising crime
- falling prosecutions
- record low rape charges
- record high fraud
& more...
This Govt is in total chaos https://twitter.com/CommonsHomeAffs/status/1547142034561040391
🕙This morning at 10.00am we were due to be questioning the Home Secretary, Priti Patel. She has declined to attend our session.
