[Strix @strixperegrinus]

For us. For fairness. Politics isn't working. For far too long. Put big light on. Barm cakes. Putting the heart back into communities. The Smiths. But not Morrissey, obviously. People up and down this country. Decency. Hard working people. Communities. Picky teas. For our city-region. For all city-regions. Everton. Next door but one. Since 2001. Buses. Yellow buses. Hard working buses, up and down this country. Price caps. Price freezes. Giving back. Not taking enough to begin with. People are sick and tired. Wealth tax. Fairness. Tax land, tax money. Tax wealth. Tax growth. Tax growth to make growth. We're all immigrants, aren't we? No more being in hock to the bond markets. Increase borrowing. Increase spending. Doorsteps. What I'm hearing on the doorsteps. Good touch for a big man. We do things differently here. Wherever here might be. Politics of that which we have in common is moreso in common with unity than that which divides us can divide us from us. Chippy tea. Sad smile. Grass. Selfies. Fourteen years of Tory hurt didn't stop me dreaming. Jogging by the motorway. Like my grandad and his grandad before him. Chuckle. Little chuckle. Well, some people might say that. Guitars. Music. Nothing more esoteric than Elbow. I like Oasis, but I don't condone all the fighting and wouldn't like them now. Bricks. Houses. Terraced houses. Council houses. Ordinary people. Ordinary people like you and me, who haven't got embarrassing comments in their past because they've barely said anything of note. Politics, eh, who'd go into that? No, I wouldn't say I'm a saviour exactly. But the Labour Party has to be saved and I'm the only one who can do it. Milquetoast? I'm not really familiar with the term, but I like milk and I love toast, haha. They serve toast in the breakfast clubs, and we should honour Sir Keir's legacy really. Fantastic Prime Minister. Just not for very long. I love this country that I love, I'm very patriotic. But the flag is divisive, and we need to have a debate about that. A debate about whether or not it's divisive, about which I have no opinion. I went to Cambridge, and I'm not afraid to admit that. Ordinary lad done good. I've seen the system from the inside. I've seen the system from the outside. I've seen the system from Merseyside. It's not working. Not for ordinary folk like you and me. I'm a man, and I'm not afraid to admit that. But it is divisive, and we should have a debate about that. The North. People say it's grim up north, hah, maybe that's why we're more realistic up here. We know the problems people are facing, because we're the ones what's facing 'em. Regional inequality is something I'm passionate about. It's not fair that pints are only £7 in Manchester when pub landlords in London are raking in much more. Minimum wage for pints. Get young people earning, so we can tax them. Doe eyes. Glasses. I'm a bit older, a bit wiser, a bit heavier, haha. Ask me mates, they'll tell you. Don't ask them, actually. They're made of cardboard. I've always cared about equality. Sharing is caring, as my kids say. I think my wife taught them that. As PM I will do everything in my power to put every town in this country on the map. Of this country. Manchester feels half the world away. I've been lost, I've been found, but I don't feel down the back of the sofa for loose change. Not a bad idea though, in fairness. Fairness. Barrow-in-Fairness. In fairness, fairness isn't a bad idea to be fair. I'm from Wigan, me. As honest as can be. Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. Change. Believe in change. Believe deeply in unspecified change. And hope. Hope deeply for belief in unspecified change. Keep calm and carry the shopping back from the car in one go. For Andy. For us. Forever.

Isolated in the centre of Glen Coe. Beautiful hotel. Stags wander around the car park. Rannoch Moor on your doorstep. The view of Buachaille Etive Mor from your room. Unimprovable.

She crossed Nazi-occupied Europe on foot during WW2, smuggling Allied soldiers over the Pyrenees.

She outwitted the Gestapo—aged just 25.

This is the story of the heroine who co-founded a WW2 secret escape line:

Suicide. It's world suicide prevention day and month so I hope you spare this post a little time whether you struggle or not.

Suicide is the counter intuitive desire or need to short circuit the most human desire.

The desire to live.

Many of you struggle and over 15 years of posting here I've posted my suicidal ideation, and brutal truth of wanting, needing to end my life. And I receive emails of your stories wanting the same at times.

2 years ago I had a full breakdown. Train platforms multiple times a day, bridges, thinking 24/7 of ways to make it quick. The most terrifying months of my life.

I ran instead. A blessed relief and way out that literally saved my life alongside friends, family and therapy.

Wanting to die isn't normal. For anyone. Ever. It is ghe most serious red flag that identifies that person as very ill and in need of urgent and serious help.

The NHS is wonderful but the coffers as we know are empty and mental health support is creaking at a time when ur should be providing basic talking therapy, ongoing support and meditation if necessary. So many people are taking their life because of a lack of support which leads to hopelessness.

I'm anxious writing this because the earlier darker nights forme are one of a number of profound triggers. It sounds absurd doesn't it but that's the nature of everyone's individual mental health triggers, the can sound absurd to many so you keep quiet and plough on through. Multiply those triggers by 10 and for those who don't struggle it's an idea of the constant triggering that eventually becomes too much. Overwhelming.

If you don't struggle you may pass over this post without understanding that your Mum, Dad, Sister, Brother, partner or friend may be going through what I've set out above, and are close to doing something that could change a dozen lives. So I hope that if nothing else, if you believe one of those loved ones may be struggling, and I don't mean feeling blue, I mean fundemental changes you've seen ( men over 50 are chronically bad at speaking up), then please talk to them today.

Mental health issues aren't ever cured, they're managed, and life can be as normal as anyone else's even if those issues crop up regularly, but suicidal ideation destroys one life in its entirety but always a domino effect of many others who love or knew that person who took their own life.

I'll repeat, thinking about taking your own life is the ultimate in being poorly and needs urgent attention, help and understanding. It's never to be left.

To those who struggle, please speak to someone, even one outlet can make a difference and have absolute belief that brighter days will come, because they always do.

740,000 people took their own life on this planet last year. Doesn't sound many until you add the 5, 10, 20 people that then affects for life.

If you suspect you're struggling, please reach out and if you know someone who is, please talk to them, you have no idea the impact it makes.

The James Webb Space Telescope has just spotted something wild — Jupiter-sized “planets” drifting freely through space, with no star to orbit. These rogue worlds are gravitationally unbound, floating alone in the dark!

This discovery is reshaping what we thought we knew about planet formation… and raises huge questions:
How did they form?
Are there billions more?
Could they even host life under the right conditions?

The universe just got a little stranger — and a lot more exciting.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

The Secretary of State for the Environment has spent a lot of time the last few days claiming that he has secured £104 billion private investment from the water industry.

Which is really odd as yesterday the MP for Keighley and Ilkley told parliament that £93 billion of that money had already been signed for and agreed between the water industry and Ofwat 9 MONTHS before the election and therefore it could not in anyway whatsoever have anything to do with him.

The reason the MP Keighley and Ilkley was so confident in his assertion, he is of course the former minister for water and had even brought the correspondence with him to prove his point.

OPPS!!!

@alfiewoofwoof So sorry to hear this. We loved seeing his adventures. He had an amazing, loving life. We lost our choccy lab Belle recently and I’m sure she’ll rush to greet him on the other side of the rainbow.
