Brexit has been a disaster – it’s time the guilty men felt some shame

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

On Wednesday May 13th Andy Savage, @Taliesin2000 Chair of the Railway Heritage Trust, and Duncan Borrowman, Chairman of @ShropCouncil, unveiled the @NRHAwd @bamukandireland Partnership Award plaque for the magnificent restoration of Oswestry Station, now the home of @CambrianChr

Congratulations to Westminster Council for their acceptance of Banksy’s brilliant statue near Pall Mall. Let’s hope it stays — a welcome note of calmness and humour at a time of growing extremism.

Britain leads the world in film, TV, music and the arts.

The idea that only some of us can be part of that is disgraceful. For 14 years Tory Ministers choked off chances and choices for young people.

Don’t let them do it again - whether they now sit in the Tories or Reform.

Utter folly. Creative industries employ 1.4 million people, £145billion of value to the economy and saw 5% growth last year. They’re our future.

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

The world has changed, and Britain must change with it.

A stronger Europe means a safer Britain.

That’s what we will deliver.

University degrees are not all about salaries. They are about learning to think differently and more carefully. Dispiriting discussion on bbc politics live which focussed entirely on earnings. Ok the financing is v important but the aim is not just a high paid job.

The cardboard tubes in toilet rolls should have jokes printed on them like lolly sticks used to.

I for one am absolutely ASTONISHED that privatising our public services in order to make shareholders rich didn't result in better, cheaper, more efficient public services.

Happy birthday to Ivor The Engine, the little Welsh railway engine from the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company, who first appeared on our screens today in 1959. Toot-toot!

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

🚨BOOM! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 70,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done!

So Southern Water’s toxic plastic beads have now made it all the way across the English Channel.

Can someone explain to me, exactly what the hell does a water company have to do to loose their operating licence?
