@andyburnham I, in Devon, don’t need decisions made in “The North”. Devolve the power to the regions if you think it will benefit everyone. Central government doesn’t have to move. It’s a ridiculous gimmick using the north/south divide as an excuse and is furthering even more division.
@revfrancespenny@shawtty64@BBCBreakfast Exactly this. We are going to be thrown under the bus (tram!?) by his obsession with “The North” and his clear anti South bias.
@shawtty64@BBCBreakfast You mean mean South EAST. You are blinkered to the fact that other areas - particularly the far South WEST are disenfranchised probably more than the North. We have ONE main road. ONE main rail line. Cornwall has ONE hospital. Where I live has ONE bus a day, none on Sunday.
Travel chaos AGAIN (it’s practically daily) around Exeter. It’s not even school holidays. @MelJStride what (if anything!) are you trying to do to solve this? As @andyburnham focuses on the North where is the help to keep the Westcountry moving?
@DeOne___ It’s not just the North that has issues. The far South West, Cornwall in particular, also suffers. He’s blinkered against the South EAST and lumps the whole of the South together. His northern bias is the thing that worries me most. PM for the WHOLE UK? Doesn’t seem like it
The only country to invoke article 5 is the US. And we stepped up. And this is the thanks. He is the most vile, insulting, disrespectful President in history.
457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan.
Trump avoided military service 5 times.
How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.
@TaraSetmayer He changed hands with the phone. Why did he feel the need to have his right hand free?
He deliberately moved to a position in front of the vehicle and got his gun hand free so that he could intimidate her with a drawn weapon.
@sainsburys your gift cards are a joke. Tried to use it in store yesterday but the system was “down” (suspiciously convenient for the first day the a lot of people will be trying to use them.) Tried again online but they aren’t accepted for Tu clothing. Awesome. 🙄
@Keir_Starmer I’d rather you re-opened the rail links to rural areas and built housing in the now dead city centres. No one shops there anymore. Create vibrant residential areas with housing, restaurants and markets with decent parking and transport links to out of town shopping and beyond.
@Imogell@WelshNatTheatre@michaelsheen Arthur? His origins are most likely Welsh. If anything England has St George. But the English aren’t really given to celebrating our own heritage. Possibly because very often it is seen as divisive by the other nations in our union. 🤷🏻♀️
@Ondine_Mer Completely agree. I can’t help thinking that if it was ANY other country the whole world would be up in arms. As it is I’m seeing people I thought were decent people actually supporting it.
What chills me the most is that this child survived because she wasn’t frozen in fear and shock. Because this is NORMAL for her. She is 5. FIVE. Shame on all of us.
Children are being burned—what words are left to say? There are no words or appeals left. We are being burned alive, suffering from starvation, displacement, and genocide. Let all the world’s moral systems go to the garbage heap of history. You have failed to protect the innocent and the weak. Forgive us, Gaza. Forgive us, children of Gaza.
الأطفال يحرقون، فماذا تبقى من كلام؟ لم يتبقى هناك كلمات ومناشدات لنقولها. نحرق احياء ونعاني من التجويع والتهجير والإبادة. لتذهب كل منظومات العالم الأخلاقية إلى مزبلة التاريخ. فشلتم في حماية الأبرياء والضعفاء. سامحينا غزة. سامحونا يا أطفال غزة.
