Probably won't win Eurovision. But considering this was awful six months ago,... app.suno.ai

Remember the National Indicator Set for Local Government, circa 2006? It was an attempt to reduce the number of indicators that were reported on down from 1000 to 200. Govt depts had to lobby ODPM (as it was) to get stuff included. The cycle continues.

@archieyounguk That’s amazing Archie! Congratulations!

Special day at Windsor w/ my family earlier this week. Honoured to receive my CMG (or as my kids called it, my ‘OMG!’) from HM The King for services to tackling global climate change Always a team effort, so many people deserve recognition & thanks, and so much work still to do

@jimf58a @AbigailSPaul @TracyBrabin @LEEDS_2023 @musicinkirklees @bradford2025 @Calderdale @MyWakefield Hi Jim, the #WYPlan2040 covers a lot of ground, but I thought you would appreciate seeing these two extracts - a recognition of Production Park, and a line on the importance of the creative industries to our economy:

@AbigailSPaul @TracyBrabin @LEEDS_2023 @musicinkirklees @bradford2025 @Calderdale @MyWakefield Maybe I’ve missed it - find it v hard to read the website TBH but not much mention of the amazing West Yorkshire creative sector in this report?

.@TracyBrabin: the region is hopping with #culture! Great to hear how #WestYorkshire’s cultural heritage will continue to play an important role in the plan for the region @LEEDS_2023 @musicinkirklees @bradford2025 @Calderdale @MyWakefield

Or indeed the comparison to the Schleswig-Holstein question

True story 💪🏼🤕👏🏼

I am relieved that the government – at the eleventh hour – has finally stepped in to support buses, as Metro Mayors urged them to do last week. We need a sustainable, long-term funding plan. The government has bought itself time to develop this and I hope they don’t waste it.

I visited @RealiseLE’s bus driver training facility - the first scheme to receive funding from our Adult Education Budget. It’s great to see devolution working, improving people’s lives, and helping to tackle the shortage of bus drivers in WY. 🚌 ➡️ ow.ly/UTOk50MVsEM

Great to be bringing together the finalists in the @MayorOfWY @WestYorkshireCA Innovation Prize for our 1st bootcamp workshop at @OpenInnovates. 16-26 year olds from West Yorkshire whose ideas will help us tackle climate emergency. Top training from @TPXimpact & @innovateuk.

Here’s why I’m supporting @BRITSchoolMusic’s plans for Brit School North in Bradford 🎶🎤🎸 It just makes sense! thetimes.co.uk/article/a5b53b…

BPI has today unveiled proposals to launch a specialist creative 16-19 school in Bradford inspired by the successful model of @TheBRITSchool in Croydon. Read more about the proposals and the BPI's bid to @educationgovuk: bit.ly/3HU6uNb @bradfordmdc @WestYorkshireCA

Fantastic day at Convention of the North #CotN23 - a day full of energy, ideas, hope and optimism hosted by @The_NP11 @greatermcr. Now over to @WestYorkshireCA @MayorOfWY for CotN24!

Looking for a job in #policy? @Y_PERN_ are looking for a West Yorkshire Policy Fellow, which will be the key link between Y-PERN and @WestYorkshireCA: jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r… #PolicyJobs #LeedsJobs #HEJobs

I spoke to @BBCBreakfast this morning after TransPennine Express cancelled over 600 services last week. They’ve proven they are not up to the task, so it’s now time that they hand the reins over to someone who is. It can’t be that this government continues to reward failure.

The far-reaching implications of the cost-of-living crisis impact communities, including the staff we work alongside. We know that financial hardship affects people’s mental and physical well-being. We are working together with @MayorOfWY More at bit.ly/wyhcpap22

I’m proud of the way people in our region have come together to help each other this year, as we face a painful cost of living crisis. Read my end-of-year thoughts here 👉 ow.ly/UJvw50MeIRM

I’ve spoken consistently about the need to tackle stalking - the slow death. As the first woman metro mayor, I’ve supported @VS_WestYorks with over £450,000 for a Stalking Advocacy Service. For #16DaysOfAction I spoke to professionals about the service. westyorks-ca.gov.uk/policing-and-c…

✨🏳️‍🌈Exciting new opportunity✨🏳️‍🌈 I’m looking to appoint an inclusivity champion to address inequalities across a range of health and economic issues in our region. Could this be you? ➡️berwickpartners.co.uk/86710 @WYpartnership @WestYorkshireCA
