This seems fine

But did Putin say “thank you”? Asking for JD Vance

‘Guess what? You don’t matter’: what Trump’s war on DEI means for every American who’s not a straight white man

#JustSayin "[T]here [have] been only two years since 2010 — during the pandemic, when the government boosted the basic rate of benefits by £20 a week — where the value of welfare payments had been enough to cover the cost of essentials."

Update with regards to the impact on businesses around the new Everton stadium @carlcashman.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DHA1Mg5...

Why is every Labour administration at @lpoolcouncil.bsky.social always tarnished? Militant in the 80’s, Operation Aloft, the Caller report. The party regularly fails the city.

Come on @liamthorp.bsky.social questions need to be asked not simply about train performance but the overall service provided. Tap & pay aside,there are a number of stations without ticket machines and we still use the old ink stamp dated trio passes. Merseyrail needs a productivity analysis doing.

Travel in Merseyside is a joke. Metro Mayor Stevo keeps getting elected on promises of a ‘London-style’ system, yet it’s worse than ever. The latest improvement is always just around the corner—just after the next election. It’s a grift! #Merseyrail #Merseytravel

Might want to check your own performance? Since you’re responsible? @metromayorsteve.bsky.social @lcrmayor.bsky.social

Morning transport leader! @lcrmayor.bsky.social @metromayorsteve.bsky.social fancy getting your head out of the sand? The staff at the stations aren’t even aware. @merseytravel.bsky.social

These 10 Democrats 🤯🤦‍♂️ seriously get on the same side!

Hang this in the Louvre

It’s a crisp Wednesday morning, it’s the middle of the week, it’s hump day, let’s get it done!

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Ronald Reagan, Normandy, 6 June 1984.

The cognitive dissonance is almost impressive.

Look I really liked Anora, but Demi Moore was fucking robbed mate.

Just imagine a scenario in which PM Liz Truss was in charge now and then tell me that "all politicians are the same"

I appreciate the time and effort but unfortunately same old bland, outdated points of view. Makes the city sound like a very quiet rural town when @lcrmayor.bsky.social talks about the situation. Very tame interview sorry @liamthorp.bsky.social Metro Mayor www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

'My shop was falling apart but there's now a glimmer of hope' great to read about the area in such a postive way @futureyard.org www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Congratulations to BRIT winners Charli XCX (Bishop's Stortford College, £38,319 per year), AG Cook (King Alfred School, £27,747) and The Last Dinner Party (Bedales, £52,075) for showing that people from ordinary backgrounds can reach the top in pop music, that most egalitarian of art forms.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

@metromayorsteve.bsky.social you local transport revolution…..

Macron corrects Trump after he claims "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."

Winning friends, influencing people: today's newsletter, on why Labour's plans for the railways I think are wrongheaded:

Monday morning…. Late running train…. Therefore thrown off at Sandhills due this train running five mins late from destination. This is a shambles of a service but you keep your head in the sand Mr Mayor. @lcrmayor.bsky.social @metromayorsteve.bsky.social awful @liamthorp.bsky.social

A guest piece from a friend of mine; Peter Rainford @translucent.org.uk We must speak up for our transgender siblings - TransLucent translucent.org.uk/we-must-spea...

In Liverpool, a major UK city. We are somehow still waiting for tap and go contactless technology on our rail network, leading to daily scenes like this.

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston was forced to close due to the “sudden dismissal of federal employees,” the library’s foundation said in a statement to CNN.
