A thread on the 50 best fortifications to go and visit in the world according to me. They are all fun for at least one in the family. They are listed in reverse rank order as determined by how much fun, unique and awesome they are.
@TristanCorkPost Who wrote this email to whom? Does writing an email constitute part of an effective consultation? Who from the council signed this off? Can "Ed" Plowden name any member of of this group that they met? This is unconstitutional rubbish, a total con job. Disgraceful!
Private Eye has revealed that the failed Mayor of Bristol, who Starmer rewarded with a peerage, has just declared that certain entities who benefited from decisions when he was in office, are now clients of his/his company. Marvin Rees only left office in May of last year. 🤔
The truth is that the phantom YTL Arena was a blatant con trick on the people of Bristol devised by the developers and Mayor Marvin Rees to deprive the city of a brilliant ready to go Arena at Temple Meads that would have been rocking by now 🎸!
I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.
I think it's a story everyone needs to know.
1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.
@dianamahon@educationgovuk@bphillipsonMP They work for local, not central government. It is in her remit if they are academies, not LA maintained schools, that is the council's responsibility.
@dianamahon@educationgovuk@bphillipsonMP I think the point is that local authority education advisors or SIPs haven't 'done the job', or else these schools wouldn't be stuck/2RI/SMs.
£20m isn't much in the education budget and I understand it is the employers of these rise that get the money.
@bristol247 From East Bristol travel time will still be quicker, and very possibly cheaper, to get a train from Lawrence Hill to Cardiff, watch a gig and come back.
@bristol_citizen@unherd The Met that has been repeatedly found to be institutionally racist? That one? He claims x and y, yet fails to produce evidence to back up what he says.
List of non-league clubs (so far) robbed of an FA Cup replay:
Braintree Town
Weston-super-Mare
Hednesford Town
Maidenhead United
Southend United
Guiseley
Forest Green
These clubs have been robbed of extra ticket money, a chance to win an invaluable amount of prize money for advancing to the next round and, most importantly, a place in the history books
This is all because the richest, most elite clubs in the country claim their schedules are too ‘big’ whilst going on a pre season tour to America and agreeing to a post season Club World Cup
Pure greed 💰
Do not forget: Palestinians have been under bombardment for 11 months. 40,000 of them have been killed by bombs like these. Whatever you hear from Western media today about this horrible development in Tel Aviv, ask yourself, why did you not hear it about Palestinians?
