Emerita Prof of Public Policy @uompol.bsky.social - still curious about the politics of policy making but happily distracted digging my allotment, being a Horsforth Town Councillor, campaigning to reopen Otley Lido and champions 🏆#LUFC 💙💛
Good to talk to supporters at the #OtleyShow today including @katiewhitemp.bsky.social - so heartening to have huge community support for our plans to re-open www.otleylido.com - and to hear all the happy memories & great suggestions for future development of a lido in Otley

Sunlit frozen splashes along the #LeedsLiverpoolCanal today & I was alerted to a flying Harris’s Hawk by the tinkling of its bell - the canalrivertrust.org.uk were there to publicise how they care for our canals - happy to help pass that message on!

Seen some chat on here about films (to watch or avoid) so adding my recommendation for ‘Conclave’ which previewed at the Leeds Int Film Festival last week - if you love a good political thriller - this will be a most enjoyable couple of hours
