I appreciate Channel 5 showing NFL games in the UK for free, but what the fuck are these cheesy game show segments?

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

This is the Britain that people on this app are desperate to tell you doesn’t exist. Good people doing good in the world.

If you’re in Manchester, please check out the Albermarle community plot in Withington.

They are so desperate to be like the Republicans

Andrea Jenkyns takes to the stage at Reform conference to sing “I’m an insomniac”

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

You’ve copied his language for the past 6 months and wanked yourselves off with flags all week.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Reform are all complaints and no answers.

Labour is getting on with the job.

Hi @SkyUK, is there any reason why the @ManchesterPride website is deemed adult content?

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

Can’t say I’ve had this one before!

In January 2024, cyberflashing was made illegal. Which meant that sending a dick pic could land a perpetrator in prison for up to two years.

But how many people were actually convicted for it last year?

43, according to the CPS.

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

Have dick pics disappeared? I doubt it.

A YouGoV poll suggests a third of women under 40 have received an unsolicited sexual image. It’s likely more than 43 people committed the act last year.

So are enough people aware of cyberflashing as a crime? And is it even enforceable?

I went to see the Albermarle community plot - an amazing group of people who grow food for food banks in South Manchester.

This yellow box junction on Kirkmanshulme Lane and Mount Road has brought in £249,225 alone since April 2024.

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

Drivers have been fined nearly half a million quid by yellow box cameras around Manchester in the past 18 months.

@Joe_McFaddenBBC Cheers mate!

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

I've had a shameful secret that I've hidden for many years.

I can't ride a bike.

At 30-years-old I've finally done something about.

🎓 Are you a student in the UK who has had a bad experience of student housing - i.e. pests, mould and disrepair? I'm looking to speak to students urgently for an article about how student landlords are letting students down. Get in touch below or via DM #Students #journorequest

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again!

They have now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project.

This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash.

It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

Hat tip to @LibDemDavid for discovering this.

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

God I hope those people in Liverpool are ok. Absolutely horrific.

Last week on The News Agents

[The News Agents @TheNewsAgents]

"There is a big disconnect between a Labour leader the media might like and the average Labour party member...

"I'd be 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘥 if it wasn't Angela Rayner."

Top pick to replace Starmer? You might be surprised..

@jonsopel | @lewis_goodall

[Luke Hewitt @LukeHew]

The timing of this leak is interesting. I’m pretty sure I remember Rayner being touted as the next Labour leader somewhere recently.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Lowering the child benefit threshold would be insane. Personally, if we lost that and 16 hours free childcare at 9 months, having anymore kids would be close to impossible.

The middle class pay taxes, they should be looked after too. Otherwise whole system loses consent.
