Rochdale scored in injury time. If they held on to their lead, they'd be champions. Play resumed after a pitch invasion and then...York equalised with the last kick of the match, making *them* champions! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Luna won first prize for the waggiest tail in our local dog show!

We are at a dangerous brink, where innocent lives of civilians are threatened without regard for international law. We need peace. UK air bases cannot be used and complicit in such war crimes and I join the calls for them to be withdrawn if they are to be used in this way.

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

Off-rolling by mainstream schools had a big, negative impact on University Technical Colleges. Baker Dearing trustees were told, 'There are numerous documented examples of students and their parents being “directed” to UTCs by schools and local councils as an alternative to permanent exclusion'.

❌ Labour’s off-rolling crackdown could finally 'shed light on a practice that is currently invisible' but must be supported by councils and trusts to work, experts have said https://schoolsweek.co.uk/off-rolling-curbs-welcomed-but-warnings-over-gaps-in-data/

"In a typical classroom of thirty children, there are around ten growing up in poverty." Says everything we need to know about economic, social and political failure in this country. www.gov.uk/government/p...

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

🫂 'Without stronger support, poverty rates for carers will continue to be higher' In the final of our short videos for #UKPoverty2026, Lead Analyst @datataha.bsky.social explains that carers face a far higher rate of poverty than those who don't have caring responsibilities 👇

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

Our friends in Denmark should know we stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Greenland is not for sale, invasion or questioning and neither is NATO. This world needs more alliances, not more aggression, to keep it safe and democratic.

It was an honour to attend this fantastic celebration of trustees across York. For me personally, it marked 25 years as a trustee of five different charities. I went with the wonderful Catherine Brophy, a long-standing and treasured trustee of @ypsyork.bsky.social

You mean like my Aunty Katherine? Who was actually my dad's cousin? I suppose at least she was related to us, unlike Aunty Doris and Aunty Rene, who were simply our next door neighbours.

Anyone who thinks promoting a vicious racist conspiracist like Robinson is good for Jews has lost any grip on reality

As Tories vow to scrap ‘failed targets’, how do their climate claims stack up?

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

Asylum-seeking is a global phenomenon, with 8.4M AS in 2024 of whom 110K sought AS in the UK & 32K are currently housed in over 200 hotels dispersed around the country. There are issues about that, including for ASs themselves, but the attempt to turn it into a national crisis is a disgrace. 2/3
