Always important to report this, damaged parapets are a serious danger to both Bridge users and the trains underneath. Hope they find who did irresponsibly not report the orginal collision as failing to stop and report is an offense even if no other vehicle involved.

[Colin Wynter KC @QcWynter]

Spying a neighbour atop a rural humpback bridge, I stop.
He has noticed wide cracking, dislodged bricks & tyre marks up to them.
Sign gives phone number for "bridge strikes".
We phone it.
Train below stops.
Driver gets out. We chat.
Network Rail van arrives.
I head home.
The End.

Early medieval Irish law had a whole tract called Conslechta (“Dog-sections”). Though only fragments survive, it shows how carefully society regulated dogs: their value, their offences, and fines for harming them.

U2, together with British musician Ed Sheeran and the Ukrainian band Antytila, have released a joint song “Yours Eternally.”

The song tells the story of a Ukrainian soldier addressing his loved ones, urging them not to lose faith and to continue dreaming despite the war.

Lyrics excerpt:
Don’t sleep, don’t even think about it
No need, maybe a little bit
Still dream about waking up free
As free as we can be

@billykayscot If you just have hard floors, Gtech battery is great. If a mix of hard and carpets Henry, if you have a shedding pet - Shark upright with removable bin and extra rotating head is great for fur and affordable or Miele if you prefer bag type but pricier.

@Dogs4Rescue So happy for her and love to Suzanne and her kindness. Great work from Dogs4Rescue. 🐶

[Pauleen Lane @PAliceL]

@Dogs4Rescue Heartbreaking. Rescues are so easily scared when something triggers a flashback and they bolt. Sid experienced love and kindness in his last few years. Thinking of staff and the rescue family. Grief is the price we pay for love and it is worth bearing for that love. 🐾🐾💘

Radio3 Unwind works really well for relaxing, to block background noise or just making the house feel occupied if you have to leave them. Choose Rescue for the special Heidi.

@stephen_winters @RoryStewartUK Understand your critique but when you then consider what actions populists actually take do they then deliver fairer outcomes or is it just exploiting issues as a route to gain power?

For some strange reason the first reading of the new Mental Health Act bill yesterday didn’t get coverage. But it is a milestone- 6 years after our Review, interrupted by Covid and elections, paused to consider the Nottingham tragedy, we are finally here https://t.co/DurVrhKqWR

[Chris Webb MP @ChrisWebbMP]

This week the government unveiled the long-awaited Mental Health Bill, a momentous shift in the ongoing battle to reform the outdated Mental Health Act. This is something I have championed for years, and for Blackpool, it could not have come sooner. We have waited far too long for change.

For years, we’ve watched as the Mental Health Act has failed to evolve with our growing understanding of mental health. Too many people, especially in Blackpool, have been forced to navigate a system that offers them no dignity, no voice, and too often, no care at all when they need it most. It has been a system that has left too many behind, unable to get the help they deserve at their most vulnerable moments.

The Mental Health Act will always be necessary, as it ensures the safety of individuals when they are at risk of harming themselves or others. But it’s clear the current system is no longer fit for purpose. This Bill ensures that the system is fit for the 21st century – prioritising dignity, individual rights, and the critical role that families and carers play in recovery.

For Blackpool, and for communities up and down the country, these reforms represent a real opportunity to change the way we think about mental health and the way we care for those who need it most. The work doesn’t stop here, but this Bill is a step in the right direction – towards a mental health system that is fairer, more compassionate, and more effective for everyone.

It’s crucial that we keep pushing for the changes that people in Blackpool, and beyond, so desperately need. This Bill is part of that ongoing work, and I’m proud to stand behind it.
