@MerseyFerries You posted yesterday evening it’ll likely be out several more weeks. Posted this now are you expecting to run earlier than that? As I don’t get this update after the post yesterday. @MerseyFerries
@DaveGraha@MerseyFerries Massive surprise, it ran so smoothly. A bit uncomfortable how the new ferry used the storm gangway at Seacombe anytime it stopped there. Was meant to enter service end of October, now we are waiting until November.
@MerseyFerries Royal Daffodil comes into service, Snowdrop is going into a long maintenance & refit I was told by staff during a speech on the commuter on the Daffodil when the last time it was on. So again, we are left with one ferry. Not looking wise to retire the Iris. @MetroMayorSteve
@OnThisDayReds Hahaha remember @guflfc82 Lovren kept bigging us up before every game away we will beat them and then we’d get battered every single time hahaha
🚨Wes Streeting only talked about how the UK needs to prepare for food shortages and cyber attacks, because I asked him when the government was going to start its national conversation on defence during a question and answer session at the opening of a gun hall.
If the defence secretary hadn’t given such a meaningful reply (thank you @wesstreeting), then no government minister would have spoken out publicly about this topic on the day that the Cabinet Office finally published its new advice on being ready for emergencies.
This long-awaited “Be Ready” moment was meant to be a really important signal - launching a three year campaign to shift the whole of our society to a footing that is more resilient to any kind of shock.
Instead, no government minister had been scheduled to speak publicly today specifically to launch this vital piece of work.
It was just going to be a website update and a written statement to Parliament.
This does not send the signal that getting the UK ready for any potential disaster - up to and including war - is a top priority for our new prime minister…

8 weeks before Christmas the stupid government tells citizens they will need to buy essentials…to prepare for a 72-hour national emergency.
I’ve costed a BASIC kit for a family of four:
▪️Wind-up radio £25
▪️Torch & batteries £10
▪️Power bank £20
▪️First aid & hygiene £18
▪️Drinking water £7
▪️Three days’ food £60
▪️Tin opener £5
That’s £145. Add £50 emergency cash and that’s £195 to find or set aside.
That’s without extra baby supplies,pet food, or additional medication.
And the Government’s OWN research says 29% of people can’t afford to spend extra money preparing for emergencies.
So they have just screwed the Christmas trade trying to panic you into supporting higher taxes for defence.
Yes … they really are this stupid 🤡
