I will continue to repeat myself a thousand times. To date no candour, no resignations…no accountability. You responsible have no shame. You take positions but think position is devoid of responsibility. Midlands mental health director, chief exec ICB lead the way….. @GHRNewsUK @nottm_post @redrumlisa @jk_rowling
Today is the third anniversary of the Nottingham attacks 👇 Our reporter @ameliasalmons has been to see the tributes paid in the city ▶️

Andy Burnham has said that “Westminster has refused to listen to towns like ours for decades.” From 2001-2017, Andy was the MP for Leigh. During that time he held several cabinet positions, he was part of the Westminster bubble that refused to listen to Makerfield. Charlatan.

Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council), As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display. I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal. Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated. They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive. Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure. Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation. If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice. I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason. What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated. I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this: Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering. Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating. For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media. Yours sincerely, Janet Murray

Ugh. This is DISGUSTING @LushLtd. Teenage girls love to shop in your stores and here you are happily encouraging them to CUT OFF THEIR HEALTHY BREASTS in the name of trans pride. This is beyond repulsive. It's dangerous and sick. No parent should allow their child near your stores. Please share: #BoycottLushNow

Under Keir Starmer's govt, 16 year olds will be legally able to have sex and get the right to vote, but they won't be allowed to buy a pint or watch YouTube after 8.30pm. Okeydokes, that seems perfectly sensible.

Simples: Release tens of billions from Ed Miliband’s net zero follies for defence capital investment. Release billions more for day-to-day spending by some tough love for the 10m of working age not working and living on benefits. Plus abandon triple lock. Go through current defence spending like a dose of salts to root out current waste and inefficiency (which is mega). Cull legacy programmes for platforms soon to be obsolete.
Revealing that on @bbclaurak this morning none of the panel - Carns, Kidron and Madeley - could answer how they would find the extra money needed for Defence. It's very easy to criticise government but much more difficult to govern

Bluesky won’t be included in the under-16s social media ban. Twitter/X will be. This is clearly a political decision, nothing to do with child safety.

Another journalist longing for the days when we couldn't speak back.
What has Elon Musk taken from you? So ask many including Andrew Neil. Here's the answer: He has taken our peace of mind. He has purposefully pushed us apart, divided us further and profited from our loss of community. And that is hard to ever forgive.

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

Kathy Hochul is the first ever Governor of New York State also to be a mother. So naturally she’s thinking of signing new legislation to purge gendered language — like mother — from state family law. Under the bill that passed in Albany last week, the word mother would be replaced by “gestating parent” and father would become “non-gestating parent.”

She was off work for 3 months. Is still on restricted duties over a year later. She had to give up her Sergeant Rank because she couldn't do the role. But it's OK, her spine wasn't actually shattered. Out of sheer luck.
No spines were shattered at Filton. The officer walked unaided from A&E. Later a small, hairline fracture to the transverse process (the bony projection that sticks out from the side of a vertebra) was identified & the officer was advised to take paracetamol. Truth matters.

An apology at the very least. He showed exactly the attitude that enabled the Rotherham scandal to roll on so long and claim so many *generations* of victims. The likes of him and Sturgeon should never get into power again.
"It is understood that, despite reviewing CCTV and making other inquiries, officers have found nothing to support the allegations made against the two individuals highlighted in the posts." Who would have guessed the far-right were full of bullshit? thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/531…

Replying to @mhdksafa
What the fuck are you talking about? The US government has spent $30 TRILLION DOLLARS attempting to alleviate hunger and poverty. THIRTY TRILLION. If it was an issue of money, we would have solved it. It's not. It's an issue of fraud, and you don't give a DAMN about fraud.

Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record. You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary. Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.
