That this is every bit as good as Network or Naked, is the hill that I will die on.

@bbctms I think you may have missed a word, here unless there's been some ethereal means of communication 🔮

@se1 Nonsense! Head office used to be just off Addington Square ;)

@HLTCO A Sage move 🥁

@ZoeJardiniere Obviously doesn't help with the dopamine fix/communication portal issues with smartphone use 😭

@ZoeJardiniere Read up on the Belgian laws about this (in case you're not aware!), especially the difference between filming and sharing without consent. Could easily apply our own GDPR based regulations to achieve the same.

@KieranMaguire I think that's just about the most offensive thing about a ZX80 I've ever read.

@bartlebooth45 And would argue the opposite, listing novels you've not read, is arguably worse 🤣

@GabiFinlayson @YourAnonNews This is the coolest Utah had been since Keanu in Point Break. Chapeau.

@YourAnonNews Oh hey it’s me, non-CCP operative Gabi Finlayson! If you’d like to support our work and get an even cooler hat than the one wealthy losers like Kevin O’Leary wear…. https://t.co/vYNynnOVre

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

It's really nice to be able to read something longer than a few words on here that wasn't written by a glorified spelling correcting machine 🙏

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.

I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.

Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.

Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.

However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.

Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.

I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.

Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.

This seems pretty unlikely. Greens are potentially much more of a threat, Simons clearly is out for revenge on Starmer & I think LT were defined more by a ferocious hatred of Corbyn/the left than being strongly on the right per se.

I wonder how Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will spend his two weeks off planning exactly how to torture Arsenal’s half-dead right back. Beach? Oxygen tent? Watch all of Curb Your Enthusiasm in bed under a pile of crisps?

@barneyfarmer ... where they remain to this (forgotten, presumed dead, in the cellar).

I loved this tweet, and I read as many replies as I could, and all of the quote tweets hoping that I'd get the answer --- because there is a really good answer --- and I didn't find the answer, so I'll put it here.
