#Lancashire County #Council, one of 10 councils now run by Reform since 2025 local elections, appointed all-male cabinet

It's first time the council has had a cabinet that includes no #women

#ReformUK could have chosen any of their 9 Reform women #councillors

Reform UK’s new council leader Atkinson said (yes, this is a real quote)

“I’m sure that some of the ladies of the group will be useful in the future.”

"The discharge point for the uranium releases is located within the Ribble estuary marine conservation zone – and about 800m upstream of the Ribble estuary, which is one of the most protected sites in the country, classified as a site of special scientific interest, a special protection area (SPA) and a Ramsar site (a wetland designated as being of international importance)."

Was the American customer right or wrong?
Would you go to a fast food chain just before it closes then get angry that they ask you to leave 15 minutes after they are supposed to have closed?

Today's hike was up and around Pendle Hill, probably most famous for the Witch Trials 400 years ago which resulted in nearly a dozen people (mostly women) being put to death for witchcraft.

Near Pendle today there is a sculpture trail, supposedly inspired by the witches' stories, although the connections are I think fairly tenuous.

They may appear to be only sculptures but we took no chances and were of course suitably polite to the fae creatures of the forest.
