These are the lads from Kingswood Homes and Southport Mosque who’ve spent the afternoon working together to rebuild the wall. An amazing effort! @MENnewsdesk

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.
Remember that while they did this, I held up my baby to a window on Christmas Eve so she could see her family. How anyone could re-elect them after this is beyond me.
Our thoughts today, as always, are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough and the 97 fans who will never be forgotten.
You’ll Never Walk Alone.
I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…
At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..
It was comfy, it was quiet
In hindsight, too good to last…
I suppose there will be some boiled piss around the country this time tomorrow.
Fans come to Anfield and chant:
“Sign on, you’ll never get a job”
And classics such as:
“Feed the Scousers, let them know it’s Christmas time”
And
“You nicked my stereo”
Liverpool fans meanwhile, donate to foodbanks locally and around the country. Foodbanks that wouldn’t exist if the country was run properly. Some of those away fans chanting about poverty will know someone who’s had to use one.
They also mock the people who died at Hillsborough and use Heysel as some kind of weapon to label literal children as “murderers”.
Liverpool fans campaigned for years for better stadium facilities, safety and security for all fans. As well as campaigning for justice for Hillsborough and having a memorial for Heysel - something that people rightly had justice for.
The national anthem gets booed as a form of protest against *some* of the above and Liverpool fans are labelled as the bad guys 🤦♂️
So yeah, let’s keep protesting for a better country for all.
Charles has personal assets of £1.8bn. The Crown Estate owns property worth £15.6bn. Charles paid no inheritance tax & pays income tax only if he volunteers to. The Royal family get £86.3ml pa from us.
And we are paying £250ml to put a crown on this man’s head.
Authoritarianism
Today, and always, we remember the 97 supporters who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy.
We offer our love and support to all those affected by the tragedy on this very difficult day. You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Pharma companies have exploited the Strep A outbreak to jack up the price of cheap generic antibiotics from 80p to £18 a pack. Now tell me again about how the RMT and RCN are 'holding the country to ransom'.
