The delay in sacking Ange went on for ages.It was clear what Levy was going to do as it is what he always does.If we had finished fourth and not won a trophy, Ange would still be manager.If Frank and other choices say no and there is the usual delay,I am sure Levy is aware Carrick is available #COYS

@mrjamesob.bsky.social apart from Trump saving three quarters of the USA population,he also prevented all the cats and dogs being eaten in Springfield.A lemon tree in Shelbyville has also been rescued .

@debbieabrahamsmp.bsky.social my PIP just stopped for reasons so laughable if I wasn't so upset.I only claimed it because advised I was entitled to it .I choose to claim nothing else.Will get state pension next year.This new system is throwing baby out with bath water.Incompetent and cruel.

In turmoil caused by Pip being stopped.Not going into details,but grim .How it was done was insensitive and incorrect.Now just living off work pension until state retirement early next year.Not going to be able to work and I refuse to claim other entitlements as suggested by my Labour MP #disability

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Glad you are fed up with Starmer's timidity.Shame he isn't frightened of disabled people.Brexit needs to be a starting point,not charge in with half formed plans that penalise disabled people .Speaking as a disabled person who has been penalised and has to fight this nonsense

@chrisgpackham.bsky.social I have been an RSPB member for many years.I am ending my membership as they refuse to oppose shooting birds or even asking the membership for their views. Shooting is part of the Royal charter of RSPB,so nothing will change. They also sanction use of Larsen traps #birds.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I supported Labour since able to vote in 1978.Unable to work for a few years after injury.Not my choice.Advised to claim PIP.I claim nothing else and live off work pension.PIP now stopped after bizarre review.I cannot physically work so look forward to poverty in old age.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I totally agree the welfare system needs to improve.What is being proposed re PIP which I receive and community support is great in theory,but it can't be achieved unless structure,philosophy and staffing is in place first .If you build a house,you don't start with the roof.

British labour govt is making a hash of welfare reform.PIP reviews for existing claimants delayed,flurry of letters sent and nothing in place to help people when PIP stopped/delayed.Cruel,uncaring and unkind were descriptions of the last shower.We seem to have voted for more of the same #disability
