...and Tories saying it doesn't go far enough!
A vital, necessary, heart-breaking piece by @chrischirp.bsky.social on her experience with asylum seekers and the travesty of government policy open.substack.com/pub/christin...
'Don't you dare try to invest in our area or create jobs'.
Just imagine this lot in charge of the country
I’d ask my many cis-gender friends and followers to take a moment today to consider this scenario.
You are so unhappy / uncomfortable with your birth sex that you choose to live as the opposite sex at the cost of family and other relationships.
Brilliant role model for young people in Warrington and across the UK 🙌
Latest round of SWAP funding is now live across Cheshire. That’s £200k back in the hands of 58 community prevention projects in the last 6 months. More than 150 brilliant projects applied so the competition was tough! Next fund window opens soon. www.cheshire-pcc.gov.uk/what-the-com...
Dan Price called for changes on rural GPS theft...
The legislative changes WILL be implemented this Autumn.
The Equipment Theft (Prevention) Act 2023 will be updated to include modern immobilisation and forensic marking on rural equipment such as GPS devices. Fantastic news for our rural areas.
Getting this right, at scale and at pace across #Cheshire, will make the difference. Great stuff from Dan Price.

Zelenskyy is my hero. A true anti-fascist. A man with more bravery and dignity in his other finger then most of his detractors will encounter in their lifetime
Bit of perspective on today's immigration stats. An 18% increase in people seeking asylum still equates to roughly 0.1% of the population, not a lot, and a hell of a lot lower than quite a few countries. Also, small boats account for a third of those, so not a big issue either. 1/
We all want the same things. Physical Safety. Financial Security. Love. Happiness. Some of us just want it for other people too...
Dan Price joined community wide leaders at the Cheshire and Warrington Business Advisory Board earlier this week. As the voice of the public on policing, he provided a Cheshire-wide perspective on devolution to ensure a positive future which will enable communities to thrive.
Knutsford Mental health charity Stable Minds, another project funded by Dan Price’s SWAP Fund, has launched a new service to help people who have experienced trauma. Jane Whalen the Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner (DPCC) was greeted by co-funder Milly Peel along with Domino, the therapy dog 🐶
And so it begins. With depressing inevitability. On today of all days.

This has to stop. We need brilliant women like Kim Leadbeater and Jess Phillips (and Jo Cox) in politics.
MP abuse worse than Jo Cox era, says sister Leadbeater www.bbc.com/news/article...
Dave McNicholl is chief executive of Warrington Youth Zone and writes a regular column for the Warrington Guardian.
Gladiators, READY!!! So excited!
My letter in today's Guardian. Just asking, like. But I think we know the answer.
Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...
Looking forward to seeing the full results of the #Crewe & #Nantwich #Cheshire Citizens’ Assembly sessions. Dan Price has been speaking with the BBC’s fab @kaleighwatterson.bsky.social about it. Next stop #Runcorn & #Widnes

The Syrian civil war was the origin of many of our problems: Isolationism, hatred of refugees and Russian disinformation. Now, finally, there is hope. iandunt.substack.com/p/syria-ther...
Cheshire’s police and crime commissioner (PCC) says the county has ‘reasonable levels’ of police officers and is in a ‘good place’ – but he wants to see the numbers increase.
Dan visited a project he has funded through his SWAP community grant, Superbox Gym, Northwich.
He was accompanied by Cheshire’s Mix 56 to record an interview all about the boxing gym and the classes it puts on for young people to keep them active and entertained.
Here in Cheshire, we’ve got an exceptional multi-agency team that are the best in the country. Great that Jess Phillips came to meet them. @cheshirepcc.bsky.social Dan Price is keen to support the changes Jess talks so passionately about.
‘It’s a fool who plays it cool, by making his world a little colder.’
🙌 28 community projects across #Cheshire will now benefit from almost £100,000 of funding since Sept.
🫶🏻 Super proud to be involved in Dan Price’s #SWAPfund. It’s open until Feb 2025. Apply online via Cheshire PCC website.

John was our voice.
He made us feel we had a right to be in Westminster.
He was the first to give the North of England a political profile and paved the way for the devolution of powers to it.
He made politics real and lifted the lives of millions.
He was Our John.
