John Arnold

Hey Dorian. So sorry to hear you’ll be leaving OGWN. You and Andrew have been the foundation of my favourite podcast and reliable news source. I wish you every success going forward and I hope you’ll keep us informed about your next projects.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

"We need more working class voices in politics and we need more women in politics. But we also need to defend the working class women who are in there at the moment because, otherwise, all you're saying is: who's next for the lions in the arena?”

Aha thank you so much!

Sorry to ask the stupid question but how do I use that list as a block list? All I see is a subscribe button and that sounds like it’ll make me follow these people.

Labour promised to rebuild trust in politics by ending corruption and sleaze.

Here you go Keir. Golden opportunity.

Looks a lot like libel to me.

Can't imagine why they would block this.

Considering that I want to see the tories stay out of power for as long as possible - I agree that this is the correct course of action for the tory party.

Quite incredible to have to explain - STILL, ONE DECADE ON - that putting up unncessary (and unpredictable) costs and obstacles between firms, their suppliers, and their customers, means they will do less business, but I am grateful to @johnspringford.bsky.social for doing it so calmly and clearly.

Not in Sandbach but there are a couple in nearby towns. We did briefly look at a transport option to take local teens to those.

Thanks. I'd be delighted to! Thanks for your help with this. I'm following you now.

Im trying to educate myself.

Different questions garner different responses and different age groups also.

My issue is that we have £50k budgeted and that won't pay for a skate park - not a good one. And then there's the location, which is difficult. And my worry that it might not be what teens want.

Yeah different questions garner different responses and different age groups also.

That is less clear to be honest. Different results from different consultations. The reason I was interested in your post is that it gives some insight into the why of what was popular.

We've done 3 consultations with local young people over the years.

This is fascinating. Sandbach Town Council have a plan to add a skate park to our town. Interesting that it's one of the least popular options.

Not many people know Harry Nilsson these days but I'm a big fan and you nailed this. Great job fella. Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it! :)

EPIC response.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

I have deleted my X/Twitter account. So should you.

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.

Around the start of this year I predicted there would be blood on the streets of America before the fourth of July. I dearly wish I'd been wrong. Now I'm worried about the 4th of July itself.

Russia is amplifying conspiracy theories about the L.A. protests Pro-Russian accounts are spreading baseless claims, from Mexico fomenting the protests to a secret leftist cabal tied to Democrats orchestrating them.

Russia continues its efforts to further divide us, this time with conspiracy theories about the immigration protests: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The life cycle of an 80s pop song.

Risky move for an MP to put their head above the parapet in this way. But I agree with you.
