I've been out Christmas shopping today. Whilst it was very busy, people were friendly, happy, chatting to strangers in queues and helping the elderly find items they were looking for. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, to my surprise. @AgeFriendlyYork @YopaYork @AgeUKYork

I am proud that the Labour Party Conference has voted to maintain the Winter Fuel Payments. Our Party was created to protect working people, and today it has determined that it must never step back from that mandate. I trust the Government can now keep our pensioners safe & warm.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Rachael Maskell did not vote to preserve the winter fuel allowance when the opportunity was presented. During the vote in question, Maskell abstained.
Official voting record:

Today is an especially good day to celebrate local pharmacies - but they can help you every day!
On World Pharmacists Day we want to give a huge thanks to Community Pharmacists for their invaluable work in bringing important services closer to patients.

Being York's Lord Mayor three times is an impressive feat, demonstrating Janet's leadership and commitment to public service. Her modesty, especially when she speaks about her contributions to Shakespearean work and her involvement in education.
