Maurice Glasman has made me agree wholeheartedly with George Monbiot. I'm still adjusting to this state of affairs.

In a similar vein... no-one even calls it a _fish and chip shop_, in the North it's a chippy!

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

'We win when we fight together – that's the story Labour needs to tell' - LabourList We can never give in to the forces that would divide us and send us backwards.  The answer is the Labour winning over a broad coalition for our future.

It didn't work out for me in the race to be deputy leader, but given events today, am sharing this again.

We in Labour are uniquely placed to bring our diverse country together against the forces of hate. When we stand up for each other, we all win.

This!! Yesterday, Liverpool was heaving with people doing fun things… going the match, shopping, having a drink. Most people don’t spend their time attacking police officers or putting up flags on lampposts.

Rudolf Hess might have heard, if not perhaps listened to, ‘Respectable’ by Mel and Kim.

Being an MP is a disqualification for being PCC so I guess by extension a metro-mayor with the PCC role included would be the same? www.electoralcommission.org.uk/sites/defaul...

I don’t think any of us expected him to say that.

Ah yes… bring back the Mighty White

Do you find yourself having to justify/excuse your DC habit as well? There’s can be an unbearable piety to tea drinkers sometimes.

"Is Britain about to blow?" asks Matt Goodwin promoted a two hour special event on the subject.

Their greasy desperation for violence and carnage, so they can profit off it, is so disgusting.

Legitimate concerns, huh?

That would be wild.

The below is from Merseyside Police’s twitter account. Please don’t speculate or share distressing content online.

Surprised to find out this wasn't still the case and then I realised it's 13 years since I left university 😰

story of British politics for the past decade is people getting what they want and then fucking *hating* it

The first time I tried them was at a bake sale in the Falklands and I’ve been hooked ever since!

Up until about 5 years ago, I still called the Liscard branch 'Menzies'

"What is th charge? Eating a rower? A succulent Chinese rower?"

New phone, Houthis

Even more expensive than a melon in the Falklands!

Saw one with a crab hanging out its mouth once and crashed my bike as a result.

I’ve also seen a couple attacking live pigeons… that might just be the Liverpool XL Gullies though.

There's one sat opposite the shore line of Stanley (FK) that serves as a 'taste of the Falklands experience' for cruise ship passengers... Haven't been close enough to get it's old number yet.

Completely agree, I was more thinking about the 10 into town which is an hour end to end and doesn't move much about 15mph. Plus the pleather is a sweat inducing nightmare in the summer!

Lino laminate floors and pleather coach seats the other big move over the last ten years, particularly outside of London. Like how many people don't get the bus because it's not enough of a luxury experience?

You'd have to be very into it all to know the difference, I think.
