Andy Burnham, "It's by changing the way we do politics" @AndyBurnhamGM #BBCQT

"I was in Westminster, I did represent part of this constituency"

"I found that I went down there, speaking in parliament, and it took me a long to realise that the system is not set up to support places like ours"

"And it treated us as the bottom of the list rather than the top of the list"

"It's the point scoring. The whole set up of Westminster is point scoring rather than problem solving"

"It's party first rather than place first and people collaborating"

"It took me a long time to realise it, that's why I left in 2017"

"I just felt I couldn't do my best for the North West, this part of the world that I care about so much, in that system"

Henry Nowak’s murder was a horrific crime. Our thoughts remain with his family and loved ones.

Today, Sikh MPs have issued a statement standing in solidarity with Henry’s family, supporting justice and accountability, and rejecting attempts to divide communities.

Jordan Pickford is the first goalkeeper to win Premier League Save of the Season twice since the award's inception in 2021/22:

2021/22 - vs Chelsea in May 2022
2025/26 - vs Newcastle in February 2026

An ideological Reform government could end up limiting energy supply by blocking National Grid upgrades - just because they don't like renewable power.

The kind of ludicrous thing that happens when you're in the pocket of oil tycoons.

We are thinking of those in DRC and Uganda affected by the Ebola oubtreak which has taken many lives.

Scientists says that the climate crisis is making such outbreaks more frequent, putting us all at risk.

I can’t believe he’s going. One of the greats of all time. Thanks for the memories Seamus. 💙 #SeamusColeman

[Everton @Everton]

“I won’t miss the cameras!” 😅😢

Seamus arrives for his final home game. 💙

[Alison Thompson @AlisonJThompson]

@TweetsBySohail The Liverpool fans will be devastated! They had high hopes for him replacing Slot. Am sure he’ll do a good job for you.

[Alison Thompson @AlisonJThompson]

Have spotted these all over Birmingham and Smethwick. I couldn't agree more. We don't want divisive politicians who spread fear and hatred in our communities, destroying the planet whilst enriching the oil and gas giants that fund them. @GreenpeaceUK @SianH263862

[The Patchwork Meadow @MeadowPatchwork]

We did it! 1,000 metres of wildflowers have been sown across Birmingham thanks to a @BupaFoundation Green Community Grant. 12 organisations have run 18 activity sessions with the support of 39 volunteers and 314 individuals have sown our seeds. Huge thanks to everyone.

Talking about death doesn’t have to be gloomy.

BrumYODO’s Birmingham‑based Matter of Life & Death Festival explores death, dying and living well through culture, comedy, film and walks.

@PreetKGillMP That's great news, thanks Preet. @SianH263862

[Alison Thompson @AlisonJThompson]

@PreetKGillMP This would make such a difference to our bills, help customers to see the benefits of green energy and reduce our carbon emissions. It really is a no-brainer.

[Sian H @SianH263862]

@TahirAliMP PLEASE PUSH THE GOVNT TO REMOVE GAS FROM OUR ELECTRICITY PRICING STRUCTURE! Gas giants are killing the world and robbing us blind. JUST DO IT!! If not now, when? @MumClimate @XRebellionUK @WomensInstitute @fossilfreeLDN @AlisonJThompson @FuelPovAction

Dawberry Corner Community Garden is such a wonderful community resource. Thanks to funding from a @BupaFoundation Green Community Grant we were able to join local residents to sow a pocket meadow to help bring back the pollinators.

These are not fabrications. These are real photos of Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein / Ghislaine Maxwell.

Don’t let her gaslight you.

@grok, are these real images?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Often, the proclamation of truth is obscured by what we today call “fake news” — lies, insinuations, and unfounded accusations. Yet, in the face of such obstacles, the truth does not remain hidden; rather, it comes forth to meet us, living and radiant, illuminating even the deepest darkness.

[Sian H @SianH263862]

@Keir_Starmer I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR LABOUR AGAIN IF YOU APPROVE ROSEBANK & JACKDAW OIL & GAS FIELDS. YOU ARE EVADING THE TRUTH - the oil & gas will be sold on the OPEN MARKET so only fossil fuel giants will benefit @StopCambo @GreenpeaceUK @AlisonJThompson #CleanEnergy

[Alison Thompson @AlisonJThompson]

@PreetKGillMP Please can you urge the Government to take this course of action. It would make such a difference to our electricity bills. #GreatGasRipOff

[Sian H @SianH263862]

@Ed_Miliband The government MUST de-couple electricity and gas prices. The gas industry is strangling us by setting the price for almost all of our electricity. We CANNOT have another fossil fuel crisis - Keir must bite the bullet @GPUKnews @AlisonJThompson

[Sian H @SianH263862]

@TahirAliMP 50 climate activists lobbied MPs in Parliament yesterday saying No to Rosebank oil field. I was sorry that you were not able to meet with me. Many other MPs did. @StopCambo @AlisonJThompson

[Sian H @SianH263862]

Why are some MPs insisting we drill baby drill when basic facts say otherwise........See this Instagram post by @ecomaeve https://t.co/Th1Wj4tMKY Please can you explain how we benefit!!!!!! @AlisonJThompson
