OUR HISTORY | WBDS

Sorry @mitchbenn.bsky.social but Lace Market isnโ€™t available / they need the stage for set building on those dates. They did mention a small theatre group in West Bridgford that might be able to help but I have no contacts there. www.wbds.co.uk/our-history

Appalling - so sorry youโ€™re having to deal with this kind of behaviour.

1680 football pitches out of an equivalent 40 million. Thatโ€™s 0.0042%. Context matters.

Apologies. Given some of your recent posts I assumed you were having another pop at Starmer.

Well obviously not. Disappointed in you.

Thanks @richardaljones.bsky.social and enjoy your retirement ( though I suspect you will find ways to stay engaged and involved!)

Seems very much like the US isnโ€™t keen on having the UN on its soil. Perhaps the UK should offer if a new home - put it in Liverpool, on the banks of the Mersey. Would be a massive economic boost and justify significant investment in infrastructure!

One thing it might do is make life a whole lot more uncomfortable for opposition MPs - and their leaders - whose financial affairs are anything other than squeaky clean.

Whatโ€™s prompted another round of this nonsense? There is no hand over of power to corporations in those zones, at least not in the U.K.

IMPORTANT PSA: If you find kittens all alone, keep tbis helpful flowchart in mind. And also:
โ€”neonatal kitten need to be on a heat source & kept warm at all times, they cannot regulate their body temperature and you can kill them by feeding a cold kitten.
โ€”NEVER feed a bottle baby kitten COWโ€™S MILK!

It seems to be a consistent pattern which then leads on to criticism that the Governmentโ€™s (and Labourโ€™s) comms are crap. But how do you achieve cut through when the audience seems to have pre decided what you are actually saying and not looking at the substance - or even worse relying on hearsay?

Iโ€™m seeing lots of anger and upset at the Home Secretaryโ€™s statement to the House yesterday on immigration and asylum reforms. Some of the anger might be justified , but I increasingly think most are reacting to the pressโ€™s interpretation rather than what @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social actually said?

And surely Labour (and other voters) donโ€™t need telling whether a proposed Reform policy is abhorrent or not? They know what their own hearts and minds feel on any given issue.

Do your calculations take into account the Warm Homes Discount scheme?

So there we have it. Not content with trying to generate rioting on the streets by making the immigration and asylum debate toxic, the right will try and use their mates in the City to try and bring down the elected government by talking up the prospect of โ€˜panic in the marketsโ€™. Disgraceful.

Itโ€™s utterly shocking. But I guess weโ€™re so preoccupied with culture wars, weโ€™re missing the real war taking place in Europe now.
