@PoliticsJOE_UK Two fabulous female Prime Ministers absolutely wiping the floor with an immature journalist but doing it in a superb professional manner. I would take both of them to be our leader any day.

I’ve now had confirmation that I can lose the two impellers that I’ve been keeping “just in case” and can now keep the three. Really proud to serve @wyfrs as Station Manager. Thanks to all my colleagues @WYFRSBfdTeam in particular my boss who’ve been great.

@andyturner110h I fully support your stance and @sharrond62 and what you’re trying to do. This is even worse than the drug laden Eastern European’s of the 80s and women’s sport is truly at crisis point. With The Olympics coming up next year something needs to be done now.

@sharrond62 @Olympics You just have to watch the mixed relay events in the swimming and athletics to see the difference. Its staggering. When I was a squash player, I was able to compete with world ranked females whereas I was just a decent club player amongst males.

@andy_murray I used to be a very good standard squash player who played at a squash and tennis club. Tennis players used to turn to squash quite easily however squash to tennis would take a lot of time. It would take a long time to develop a good serve and a decent top spin backhand.
