Nick Palmer writes: It’s here: http://www.labour.org.uk/index.php/manifesto2017
I’ll leave you to decide for yourself and compare with the Tory manifesto on Thursday, but do read it. It’s the kind of programme that made me join Labour, and a breath of fresh air in our stale political climate. If you vote for it, regardless of the overall outcom you’re voting for genuine renewal in Bitish politics.
And that’s not before time.
Best wishes

The service we offer is the delivery of meals, hot or frozen to the door, plus a safe and well check. It is up to the customer to decide which service is best for them.
The frozen service gives the customer the choice of choosing from the whole brochure the meals and desserts they require. The order can be any amount but a minimum of five. This can also be as frequently as you require. A set day will be agreed and the meals will be delivered and placed in the freezer, these can be reheated in a conventional oven, microwave or steamer when required.

Barry Morrison reported yesterday:
On 10 May a mobility scooter was left, apparently abandoned, next to the bus stop outside Bramcote Newsagents/Post Office, next to the Sherwin Arms. Does anyone know of someone who could have accidentally lost a mobility scooter(Yep, I know it sounds strange). Someone phoned the police and the answer was ”It’s not a police matter”.
I haven’t been out, in the rain, to check but presume it is still there. If anyone passes, please take a photo and email to us to publish.”

Message sent by Action Fraud (Action Fraud, Administrator, National) Following the ransomware cyber attack on Friday 12 May which affected the NHS and is believed to have affected other organisations globally, the City of London Police’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau has issued an alert urging both individuals and businesses to follow protection advice immediately and in the coming days.

Criminals will use ransomware to extort money from you (a ransom), before they restore access to your files. There are many ways that ransomware can infect your device, whether it be a link to a malicious website in an unsolicited email, or through a security vulnerability in a piece of software you use.
