Andrew Garfield sat on a stoop with Elmo and explained grief better than anyone had ever explained it
Elmo: “Elmo’s going around sesame checking in on everybody so Elmo wants to know how Andrew’s doing?”
“I’m thinking about my mum today she passed away not too long ago and you know I just miss her miss her a lot”
“You don’t have to say sorry it’s actually kind of okay to miss somebody that sadness is kind of a gift it’s kind of a lovely thing to feel In a way because it means you really loved somebody when you miss them”
“When I miss my mum I remember all the cuddles I used to get from her all the hugs it makes me feel close to her when I miss her in a strange sort of way’
Less than 2 weeks until I get to see @Broadside_ at @SlamDunkMusic
Really hope they play Cruel and Brian makes a cameo, as I've noticed they have stopped playing it recently 😭
@Magpie24_7 Priority Target: Trafford
Must-Fix Position: goalkeeper
Build from the back, target a keeper who would give the defense confidence.
An elite number 6 to free Bruno to move forward
Young or backup LB/RB, Lewis Skelley on loan for the season?
@Bodyfirst_PT@EastMidsLabour@grok Labour, Greens, Tories, LD (basically everyone)didn't say that if they won elections that they wouldn't raise council tax.
Reform did (even though Farage is now denying it)
£200 for a 3 night stay and no availability to do the free Santa things they advertise, even though they still have vacancies so not at full park capacity?!
@Butlins I think it's terrible that we have booked a late deal for "Christmas Festive Wonderland" (5th December) but no slots to meet Santa (or have presents dropped off) are available. @Mike_godolphin@josh_engleman
There should always be enough slots for children if booking more than 1 day, especially as it's advertised how much you will save compared to booking to see a separate Santa
I've called to see if they have any slots not on the app available, and told none are showing but "may be available nearer the time as people have booked adults as well as kids for slots"
It would be heartbreaking to go all that way and not get to meet Santa.
Leicestershire County Council has announced it is to pay consultants £30m to carry out a cost cutting review.
They said it would be £1.4m.
They lied.
They said Reform DOGE would do all this.
They lied.
Same council that said they would cut taxes on day one.
Reform UK criticised councils for increasing Council Tax. Now they are planning to hike it 5%.
You can’t trust Reform UK.
My conversation with new Green Leader Zack Polanski about the St George's Cross:
Zack Polanski: What does it mean to me? Well, I think it depends on the context. So during an England football game, I'll paint my face in a Saint George's Cross quite happily. At another time though, where we don't have a football tournament, I think it's quite imported from America this idea that we wave flags outside our house. If people want to do that then I think that's up to them.
But I think at times of heightened tensions, I would say patriotism is actually about loving your neighbour, whether they're from this country or not. Patriotism is about building cohesive communities. I'm really proud today to be an elected Jewish leader of the Green Party. My deputy leader is a Muslim man. I think that's patriotism. When we recognize that antisemitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin, and actually communities are so much better when we're more creative and work together in solidarity.
SR: It's interesting to listen to what you're saying there - so do you think that flying a St George's Cross outside your house at a time, as you put it, of heightened tension could be intimidating for some communities?
Zack Polanski: I think people can experience it as intimidation. And I think if those communities are intimidated, again the patriotic thing to do would be to have those conversations with your neighbours, have those conversations with the communities.
