Utterly depressing that the only focus here seems to be on shareholders. Absolutely no consideration for passengers - the folk that ultimately provide the revenues.

Hydration Break

Not sure what’s burning in Ditton / Widnes area, but it doesn’t look too!

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, T-shirts and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Gin O’clock. Why not?

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

The idea that Reform, run by public schoolboys from the south of England who want to cut taxes for the rich, have anything to offer people in Hull or Barnsley is just so mad I don't know what to do with it

Current status…chilled.

Spent much of the day in Manchester today. The skyline there continues to change. I wonder what Engels would have made of it all…

Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon ⚽️

Fortunate enough to have time to call in to the Catholic Cathedral while in Liverpool this morning. I’m not a particularly religious person but I find the space there remarkable, especially on a sunny day.

👇 excellent list to which I would add Iranian revolution Lockerbie Piper Alpha disaster 7/7. 2012 Olympics (especially being there for ‘Super Saturday’).

You wonder what #1 would make of today’s insane rant from #47. Suspect he would be spinning in his grave.

Louis is doing his best to ignore the damp weather and wider world events this morning. Ear scritches seem to fix everything #furryfriday #cats

It’s amazing the difference some blue skies, sunshine and birdsong can make to your mood. If you get the chance, get outside for a bit today. You’ll feel better for it!

As a former sufferer and in light of the awful Meningitis outbreak in the UK, sharing @meningitisnow.bsky.social and a handy symptom poster to raise awareness. Don’t take any chances if you suspect you or someone else may have the symptoms. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Fabulous #bloodmoon over Runcorn Bridge this evening (not that you can see the bridge!).

Lucky to spend the morning in a gloriously sunny #Liverpool this morning. Great view of the two cathedrals. Reminded me that they are joined by ‘a street called Hope’ - something we need more of at the moment.

I think Louis would like the light turned off… #cats

At the risk of sounding a grump, whilst I am loving watching the opening days of the #winterolympics the camera drones are providing really annoying!!! It’s like a giant mosquito buzzing around behind the athletes!

Feels very much like a ‘walls and tumbling down’ scenario just now. I fear though that what will remain will be a huge pile of rubble and not some new Jerusalem (sorry if I’m mixing metaphors) or any real justice for Epstein’s victims.

So once again we’re facing 12 men on the pitch tonight. Brilliant challenge by Ibou and foul given. Bah.

Yup, just about sums it up…

Not some long lost impressionist painting but the state of TNT Sports 1 at the moment. Not impressed as #FCBvsRMA was hotting up nicely!

I wonder if I can train my cats to polish our floors like this?

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

Happy 2026 everyone. May it be the year that we all collectively ‘turn a corner’ xx

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind: If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist. If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist. Pretty clear

Apparently the #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. This doesn’t bode well…

Oh what a wonderful way to end the weekend and get in to the Christmas spirit. An evening at the Tung Auditorium listening to not one but three fab community choirs! The @choirwithnoname.bsky.social , the Asylum Link Choir and the PSS Choir. Awesome. 🙌

Nice few hours in #Chester this afternoon, trying to get into the Christmas spirit a little.

Oh dear god. I just hope that the football is better when it comes than this utter pile of bobbins #fifa #worldcup26

Any friends of mine at Anfield tonight, if you could possibly get up to the gantry and gag Jamie Carragher please? He is doing my head in!!!

It’s easy to feel helpless in the face of humanitarian crises like this. But this is one way of doing a little bit to make a difference.

44 years today since I lost my dad. Seems simultaneously like a lifetime ago and a moment ago. I think I inherited his gentle nature; I just wish I knew him longer to absorb his knowledge of plants and nature.

It's that moment again for National Trust members to vote to keep the entryists out. Quick and easy to vote and please do so by 31st of October Quick Vote link keeps the AstroTurfers out. Then share. Thank you. secure.cesvotes.com/V3-3-0/nt25/...

Seems very much like the US isn’t keen on having the UN on its soil. Perhaps the UK should offer if a new home - put it in Liverpool, on the banks of the Mersey. Would be a massive economic boost and justify significant investment in infrastructure!

IMPORTANT PSA: If you find kittens all alone, keep tbis helpful flowchart in mind. And also: —neonatal kitten need to be on a heat source & kept warm at all times, they cannot regulate their body temperature and you can kill them by feeding a cold kitten. —NEVER feed a bottle baby kitten COW’S MILK!

I’m seeing lots of anger and upset at the Home Secretary’s statement to the House yesterday on immigration and asylum reforms. Some of the anger might be justified , but I increasingly think most are reacting to the press’s interpretation rather than what @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social actually said?

So there we have it. Not content with trying to generate rioting on the streets by making the immigration and asylum debate toxic, the right will try and use their mates in the City to try and bring down the elected government by talking up the prospect of ‘panic in the markets’. Disgraceful.

Oh for the days when football commentators did just that, rather than constant blather and unwanted ‘opinion’… #LIVBOU

Louis says ‘peek-a-boo’… #proofofcat

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Glad I braved the weather with @hayleyhulme.bsky.social to salute the Champions! Traffic was horrendous so a big 🙌 to our cabbie who got us to Allerton Road with seconds to spare 😜 #LFC #YNWA

I’m sorry, but was the rise in inflation (as predicted by the Bank of England) actually a surprise to anyone apart from BBC News?

Life can get you down sometimes - it’s to be expected. So find those little things that make you smile and bring you some joy. One of my things is our garden, partly as it makes me think of my dad.

A little celebration is in order…🍾 #LFC #Champions #YNWA
