A crunch by-election next week is a fight between Reformβs divisive politics and keeping Manchester united, Labourβs candidate says.
A group of six people wearing black stood outside 10 Downing Street.
A white woman sat at a grand piano and a black woman stood holding a clarinet smiling, in a room with red wallpaper and portraits on the walls.
Three people stood smiling at the camera, dressed smartly.
Two young men sat playing classical guitars.
Last week we held a special event at 11 Downing Street to celebrate the RCMβs educational partnerships π
Featuring inspiring performances from RCM students, it was fantastic to celebrate the work of the RCM in an iconic setting.
Cllr David Wimble, Reform Cabinet member for economic development at Kent County Council, says he might defund Margate's Turner Contemporary Gallery to spite the local MP Polly Billington.
This is what makes us a great country, right here.
I am still DELIGHTED this happened.
Welcome home, Liam and Adrian.
Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place. Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Shouldn't post in grief, but to reiterate that the staff at Manchester Royal Infirmary, both AMU (ICU) and palliative care, were just outstanding; not only in clinical care but humanity, sensitivity, care and consideration. Heroic humans who made my stepfather's last days comfortable and peaceful.
Please please vaccinate your child against measles.

About 75% of entries transcribe the false claims. The small number of counterpoint are in 'he said, she said' fashion
It is very much inferior to other outlets & absurd to post 30 seconds of video without putting any of the reporting resource into analysing the source, vs transcribing false claims
How on earth can the BBC still be relaying this demonstrably untrue information into its reporting at 942pm, without even "balancing" the false account, when they have the video footage & the analysis of it
That BBC coverage is timestamped 942pm
The misinformation it contains was demonstrated to be clearly untrue almost 3 hours before that

Entries are absurdly unbalanced, to favour US govt false statements, in a scenario where "sharply contested" both sides reporting would be highly inadequate
BBC are here being a real time conduit of the misinformation that they say their mission is to verify+counter

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
