I’m only surprised this headline didn’t finish with ‘and why this is all good for Nigel Farage’

Been banging on about this for a while now. It’s the end of days.

I have rarely seen such unadulterated bollocks. I loved Twitter, it was so important for my job. Then a mad megalomaniac took it over and made it so no one would see my posts unless I paid him money - and even if I did that I would be submerged in nazi hate. But yeah this is our fault.

Blu-Ray didn’t get enough of a shot

I’ve seen other people express this far better than me. But if, like me, you’re finding the ‘free speech’ hypocrisy of the right unbearable, you have to remember they know what they are doing. It’s not that they haven’t realised how illogical and hypocritical they are. They know,they just don’t care

Just a cosy little human interest feature chatting to people who went to support a far right racist criminal thug What on earth is the BBC up to?

Took the toddler to an animal farm today and saw this strange site

This is absolutely nuts

Today's @liverpoolecho.co.uk front page

It was one of the biggest honours of my career to be inside Downing Street and Parliament today to watch as the Hillsborough families made history My write-up from an important and emotional day 👇

This was the emotional moment that Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed families of those who died in the Hillsborough disaster to 10 Downing Street on the day a law in their name will be introduced to Parliament

Good morning from Downing Street on a huge and historic day #HillsboroughLaw

At long last the Hillsborough Law can become a reality, changing how this country functions and how the state can act. It’s a monumental achievement from the families, who never gave up. ✍️ @liamthorp.bsky.social

The Hillsborough families have never given up in their fight for truth, justice and real change What they have achieved is immense. My thoughts on this historic moment 👇

Tomorrow’s front page of the @liverpoolecho.co.uk on a momentous day

BREAKING: A Hillsborough Law will be laid before Parliament on Tuesday after decades of tireless campaigning by the families of the 97 Liverpool fans who died at the 1989 stadium disaster A huge and historic moment

5G, climate change, net zero, vaccines - a genuine smorgasbord of conspiracy nonsense on display in Sefton Park again today

Still waiting on the Prime Minister’s statement condemning the huge, violent, Nazi mob that attacked police officers in London…

A man near me joined “na-na-na-na: England!” with “na-na-na-na: sieg heil!”, and “Starmer is a wanker” with “Adolf is a hero” These ‘patriots’ sure do love the most sinister enemy this country has ever faced, don’t they

After the M.E.N posted the tragic story about 3 people (2 of them kids), dying in the channel this week - their facebook post was met with three thousand laughing emojis Comments included "fish gotta eat" & "best news I've heard all week" Horrendous www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Funny how this keeps happening?

A huge irony that Reform claim to speak to those outside of the Westminster bubble - and here they are planning to cancel a once-in-a-lifetime project aimed at evening up the country and powering up the North

yet more proof that the regional press is so often the place to go for balanced reporting covering more than one side of a story

Thanks for the many shares and warm responses to this piece today. I think we need to hear more from asylum seekers to counter the myths and lies being deliberately spread about them

The last paragraph is telling and is something I have heard many times. “There is no doubt that these people are fleeing something horrific. These people are mums, dads, brothers and sisters. They are teachers, architects, radiologists and dentists. They are people just like you and me”

We've heard so little from the asylum seekers themselves, and this is an exemplary piece. My wife, as a paediatrician, has treated kids from Eritrea, who've taken 3 years to get here, walking across deserts and being beaten & imprisoned along the way. The hostility they're now facing is sickening.

Excellent article and much needed in the press, the voices of asylum seekers

At least there is one journalist willing to talk to asylum seekers as humans instead of only talk about them as problems. Well done Liam @liverpoolecho.co.uk

A very important read. Thank you @liamthorp.bsky.social

I have been waiting for someone to write an article like this, so well done to @liamthorp.bsky.social, who did an excellent job.

Thank you for this. Long overdue.

This is proper journalism.

"I think there have been three protests here now," he says. "It changes everything for us, it means we can't go outside for a long time because it is not safe. You can lose your mind when you have to stay in your room."

Thank you Liam, for giving asylum seekers a voice.

Excellent article that addresses the concerns of the people claiming asylum & gives them a voice, one that is currently drowned out by Farage, the UK press & media & as the author notes, the increasingly hard line taken by Labour, shamefully. Over to you Starmer & Cooper, you are not helping.

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

Kuenssberg: Random assortment of words Labour bad words good for Reform words

‘You would expect these sorts of scenes during a major incident, not on a regular Wednesday night in Liverpool’ It’s early September and already NHS A&E departments are in crisis www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

A rare evening out for mum and dad

It's been said already, but biggest test for Starmer now could be the forthcoming deputy leadership contest. There will be plenty in the membership wanting to bring in someone more progressive to counter what they feel is a right-ward shift of the current government. Conference will be interesting.

Myself and @danhaygarth1.bsky.social are bringing you all the big news on a big day for British politics www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

Well, well, well
