Word of warning if you use the @NHSEngland prepaid certification for prescriptions. If you don’t get a reminder to renew and carry on picking up your meds when your certificate is out of date you’ll be fined £100 for each month! I’m now going to pay £500 in fines alone. Fair?

So why can’t I tax my motorcycle now and have it start when it runs out on September 1st? What logic says it will start from August 1st meaning I lose a month? Ridiculous! @DVLAgovuk please explain??

Are we all thinking how this plays to us in ‘leisure’? If not we should be!

A quarter of us are now living with 2 or more long term conditions. Labour will build an NHS fit for the future by joining up services and shifting the focus towards prevention, which is better for patients and for taxpayers. My comments on @SophyRidgeSky this morning.

The Conservative energy crisis threatens the future of much loved community sports facilities. Ministers must explain why high energy swimming pools and municipal facilities won’t be eligible for support and why they’re turning a blind eye to sports bodies and their communities.

Manchester has historically had some of the country’s worst health inequalities & we’re working hard to tackle them.
That’s why investing in our leisure centres has been a key priority for the city despite Govt cuts.
We need a national well-being focus theguardian.com/commentisfre…
