@SimonMagus East London Mosque is a ridiculous target. It bends over backwards to try to welcome the wider community - running scout groups etc. Open day there was fascinating.

@WarGit Its also that the white voters here tend to be relatively transient, privately renting professionals in flats who show little interest in local elections. Bangladeshi origin folk much more settled.

For every retweet of this post, I will donate £1 to the @VC_and_GC_Assoc up to £50,000.
Time is running out following @I_W_M’s decision to close the Lord Ashcroft Gallery.
Visit while you still can, to honour the bravery of those who risked so much to protect our great nation.

@McivorJaymey Really classy watch. Nosey question but what brand is it?

@DaveMorgan25 As I thought it might do, the vast over promising is coming back to bite them. Janet Daby was constantly appearing at Kinship carer groups before the election promising increased support but has delivered precisely nothing (or negative given support fund cuts).

@FraserNelson Certainly in Blackpool, which tops the leader board, your assumption that there is plentiful work is misguided. A family member works in a 'full time' job in the tourist industry but it was quiet last week so he only got 12 hours. How do you keep a family on that without top ups?

[Andrew Binns @AB_WoS]

@christiancalgie It's not about the data. If people look around their communities and still see the migrant HMOs and hotels, big groups of men hanging round the streets and dodgy vape shops, they will draw their own conclusions.

@Seoirse_ The Wetherspoons hotel (Keavan's Port) often has good deals but is not a cheap city.

@DJSkelton It may do because he is pretending that the problem can be solved by building more high rises in Manchester City Centre and Tower Hamlets.

[Andrew Binns @AB_WoS]

@wallaceme One of the reasons why the high street is dying. This level of loss is too much for a small business to bear.

@LukeDyks The football season starting again will help.

@tomhatton1 They scrapped it for Fridays only.

@GayToryJon @EddieRobson Complaints about church bells from a 800 year-old church is another I have seen.

@OliAworth96 If it is is a dormant company it might be less hassle all round to just get it shut down (obviously not that easy if it has trading debts).

@JoeAlex52503622 @RobParsonsNorth Demographic change. When the long stay tourism market collapsed with cheap packages to Spain thousands of privately owned B&Bs became HMOs and low quality flats.

[Andrew Binns @AB_WoS]

@RobParsonsNorth Blackpool has changed a little since the tourism peak in the 50s and 60s with thousands of privately owned B&Bs turned into HMOs. Do visit the town and find out - it is still a lot of fun.

[Andrew Binns @AB_WoS]

@Vintageboy2000 Wow. That's a hefty beast. Hope the Omega's trip to Switzerland isn't too costly!

[Andrew Binns @AB_WoS]

@DrDavidJeffery Ha! You've seen the holiday pics https://t.co/tQek5fjHFY

[Andrew Binns @AB_WoS]

@tomhatton1 This is sadly really common. Local Greggs now has all the sarnies behind the counter as people were walking in and stealing handfuls.

[Andrew Binns @AB_WoS]

@DaveMorgan25 Seems a strange choice. Was it back to the 80s where the armchair members went for the attractive and personable young man they would like their daughters to marry?
