Many thanks to the anonymous kind soul who handed in my lost house key at @sainsburys.bsky.social #FossBank #York this afternoon. You saved me a lot of stress, anxiety and money ❤️

Labour is now punishing the young and unemployed - I despair It’s no surprise that more young people aren’t working for a system that doesn’t work for them

As I wrote in my @inews.co.uk column last week, "the DWP’s own research shows sanctions do not help people into work; in fact, they “have a small negative impact” on entering work"

Yet still Starmer and Kendall persist with this Tory rhetoric ...

Why can't we have both. Excellent palliative care and assisted dying. People should have the choice.

Amsterdam's mayor was one of those who described events there as a 'pogrom'.

She has now publicly renounced what she said, and offered regret for erasing Maccabi violence - and how the narrative whipped up anti-Muslim and anti-Arab violence.

The story continues to fall apart

Hello Bluesky & hello to the #YorkshireFamily 👋

Euston Station is no longer in fit condition, says rail minister Lord Hendy said the terminus had deteriorated to the point where its marble columns are held together by bands.

Well this is awkward isn't it?

Peter Hendy tried to cover up how dangerous #Euston is when he was in charge of Network Rail.

He waged a campaign against expert @garethdennis.bsky.social because he raised his concerns.

We need our #railways to work for passengers.

Hendy isn't up to the job.
