I should add that Makerfield has had a Labour MP since the constituency was created in 1983.
It’s been run by a Labour council since it fell within the Wigan local authority in 1974.
It falls within the ambit of the Greater Manchester mayor, who is also Labour (that would be you — for now).
There was a Labour government between 1997 and 2010 (of which you were a part) with huge majorities.
These is a Labour government in power now, with an even bigger majority.
So it’s a bit odd to blame Makerfield’s woes on a PM who left office in 1990.
I understand she left a legacy you don’t like. But you and your party have had more than enough time to clean it up. Why would more time make any difference?
I think that the US withdrawing from NATO is a good idea while the US is governed by a Russian agent
Later, when the US is run again by a government not beholden to Russia, they may want to rejoin NATO and at that point I'm sure they will be welcome
Worth remembering: we didn’t used to count the nuclear deterrent or military pensions in defence spending. Strip those out today and we’re not at 2.5% of GDP — we’re closer to ~1.8% on actual conventional forces. That’s why we no longer have sufficient ships, tanks and planes..
This is Jess Phillips, the Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence against Women and Girls.
Seemingly drunk, slurring her words, and barely able to keep her eyes open.
While talking about murdered women and girls.
She is an absolute disgrace.
Brian Cox jets into Edinburgh tomorrow to speak at a sparsely attended rally for Scottish independence. Brian loves Scotland, but he just can’t bear the thought of actually living here.
Don’t worry Brian, the BA to Heathrow leaves at 17.55.
Tory voters you know you stand zero chance of winning in Gorton and Denton.
You know that Muslim vote Green and Labour.
So will you please show some decency and integrity and vote for REFORM to ensure that Gorton and Denton are saved from
DRUG TRAFFICKERS, and ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Summary of where we stand this morning:-
How dare the police stop & search people to prevent offences. Also, how dare the police use video recognition to find offenders quickly.
But also, how on earth did the police not stop the Huntingdon rail attack or arrest him earlier 🤷🏻♂️
A Jewish man from London dropped his credit card into the driver’s section of a public bus.
Rather than returning it, the driver made ignored the passenger, who was trapped on the bus for hours trying to retrieve his property.
The driver reportedly said that he doesn’t like Jewish people, and the visibly Orthodox man looks “like a Mossad agent.”
David Abraham, the passenger, uploaded this tearful video of himself pleading with the driver, who ignored him.
Public institutions have a responsibility to not discriminate.
Every Londoner, regardless of their identity, should be treated with basic respect.
If this incident doesn’t bother you, is it because you’re comfortable with a London that treats its residents unequally?
Or are you just silent about it when the mistreatment is happening to Jews?
Transportation for London must investigate and hold this driver accountable for this bigotry. Anything less is unacceptable.
@NatashaMDay Tash, I think you are ace, but as a soldier, and patriot, you shouldn't do anything for Christmas before Rememberance Sunday. It's disrespectful.
@WeAreAllChar1ie @PC_Angry@SadButMadLad I'm an ex soldier, ex police too, I'm guessing you have either been no where stressfull as a soldier or if so, it was before a time when you had to be bothered about everything being recorded on a phone..... Now off you fuck.
Imagine a Chief Constable ruining his own officers’ graduation by reporting them to Professional Standards over uniform standards + then going viral because his flies are down on official police media.
Can't make this up. 🤦🏼♀️

Very clear from a lot of comments that many of you haven’t been punched in the face
If you want to gain some credibility, you’ll need some experience
Contact us on 111 to arrange a mutually agreed upon date and time for an officer to punch you a few times
@antmiddleton I hope they get the full force of the courts, a long custodial sentence, but Ant, weren't you also done for asaulting a female police officer?
