I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

I think he'll get off & be released next week as expected. However, in the meantime, he's finding out how it feels to be accused of something you didn't do. The SWs believe in Karma.
Reflecting on this might make him a better person. I'm secretly hoping it doesn't...

Interesting to hear Brian told Ruairi a gentleman should never be without a hankie.
It was Siobhan using one of Brian's monogrammed hankies to clean up baby sick which revealed to Debbie that Brian is Ruairi's father.
I wonder if Keri did it on purpose. #TheArchers

If you’re silent on Gaza, you’re complicit and enabling the Palestinians Genocide.

The Palestinian resistances is rooted in oppression from the occupation, not leaders. The end of the occupation will end the resistances, not the killing of leaders or civilians. The Palestinians will continue the struggle until the end of the occupation, sovereignty, and self-determination.

A disconnect between the Labour government and party members is causing a fall in the number of activists willing to knock on doors, organisers have warned

"Our campaign coordinator was more or less begging for people to get out on the doors"

Spoke to @zoecrowther.bsky.social for @politicshome.bsky.social The Rundown podcast this week.

Good to share my thoughts on the Prime Minister’s conference speech and why the fightback against Reform and racism is desperately needed.
