An elderly Japanese man who I’ve never met but added me on Facebook and sends me pictures of birds uploaded this yesterday and I’ve been unable to stop thinking about it
In the UK for 15 minutes and train man just said “We are 9 minutes late, 5 minutes later than normal, and for those of you who just got on at Gatwick who are standing and used to a first world railway, please remember to hold on as it gets bumpy” #holybased

EXCLUSIVE:
Andy Burnham is expected to appoint a former Blairite cabinet minister who is one of his oldest political allies as his chief of staff as he seeks to overhaul No 10
James Purnell, who served as pensions minister, culture secretary, and work and pensions secretary in the New Labour governments of Sir Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, is the frontrunner for the role, The Times has been told
He is said to be viewed by Burnham as a “serious figure” who is capable of implementing his radical plans to reform Downing Street and Whitehall
The pair, who entered parliament together in 2001, shared an office as novice Greater Manchester MPs, with Burnham representing Leigh and Purnell holding Stalybridge & Hyde
Burnham frequently joked that he was overlooked for broadcast interviews in favour of Purnell, who was educated in France and Surrey
Purnell is chief executive of Flint Global, a major PR and lobbying firm, a role that may present issues over potential conflicts of interest in government

There are very few Labour MPs who worked in the city. That's typically not their professional or social circle. So the understanding of the people who hold our debt and why they make decisions is not good. But the reverse is also true of city folks understanding Labour MPs.
