Based on his record so far, what makes anyone think Nigel Farage would make a good Prime Minister?

This will mean very little to most of you, but Woolton Picture House - a local independent community cinema near to where I live which is 100 years old next year - has been saved. And there's an "It's A Wonderful Life" happy twist to the tale. Such great news. theguideliverpool.com/woolton-pict...

National Museums Liverpool are keen to hear people’s stories about the Titanic: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

The couple who live in the cottage at the bottom of our road always decorate two bicycles for special occasions. One outside the day centre (video) and one on the wall at the side of the Esk. Always cheers me up to see them (and the local yarn bombers).

Don’t need a watchdog to tell us this. I know several people in pain who have pulled out their own teeth over the last couple of years. NHS dentistry has disappeared for the majority of the population www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve". He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

I’ve signed this. Please sign it and share it.

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!? Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

We hope you can join us tomorrow, as we conduct an act of remembrance for the fallen of EFC and all those linked to the club (and the other Everton clubs) impacted in times of conflict. Start time, 10:45am by the Dixie Dean statue.

Blues, I have a spare ticket for Saturday that I'm happy to transfer to a member for face value. #efc #efctickets #utft #coyb

He’s only saying this as he knows young people won’t be voting for him. The usual divisive crap from this grifter. You try living on £10 an hour 😡

Fascinating!

A timeline cleanse. Two hummingbirds taking shelter from the rain inside a rose. Good night Bluesky.🥰

Nobody had even heard of Katie Lam outside of Westminster until about two weeks ago. Literally all it takes to be considered "brilliant" and a "rising star" on the right of British politics now is just a willingness to say something slightly more racist than all of your competitors

DUDE. Trump is walking around the Japanese Prime Minister like a lost zombie running on low brain fuel. I had to watch this video twice. Once to say WTF to Trump. And twice to say WTF to the insane headlines on the news ticker! WTF!!

The TUC (Trades Union Congress) is running a really good campaign on Insta:

What a feat of engineering that scaffold is on Zagreb cathedral. Shame it’s closed for visitors but scaffolding is something to see

@googlyeyecat.bsky.social we made it 😂

Aspiring authors, I’m here to help. Do you have any writing-related questions or dilemmas I can answer? Maybe you just need encouragement or a kick in the pants? Ask away… #writing

This is exactly the same demand that preceded the Trump admin's federalization of the Oregon National Guard

Hoping for all of the points tomorrow 🙏 💙 come and enjoy some great food and a 2 Pinter before or after the game. Anyone without a ticket, come and enjoy the atmosphere and watch the game with us 💙 #everton

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent article

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Iron bay window on Webster Road Ink and charcoal on board 2025 (15cm x 30cm) Today’s small painting is of an abandoned house in Wavertree. The bay windows on these houses are distinctive, supported with chunky cast iron columns, and these are the main focus of the piece. #liverpool #art

Musk is wearing a T-shirt that asks, "What would Orwell think." Orwell took a bullet to the neck while fighting Tommy Robinsons and Elon Musks in Spain.

As per yesterday’s post, our matchday Heritage Centre will be open at the Bluehouse building, from noon to 2:30. The facility is a work in progress & will evolve in the coming weeks. So, it’s a soft launch! Access is off Fulton Street, to the rear of the property.

I'll tell you how we can stop people spending their whole lives online

Oh look. #Farage avoids tax too. 1. Through company for GB News (avoids income tax) 2. Through an offshore trust (avoids capital gains tax) 3. Through getting his partner to buy *his* home in Clacton (avoids Stamo Duty) #Rayner #Tax www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
