No idea what it was like to be a black #cafc fan in the 1970s, but imagine it had its challenges. Norm just got on with it and was a constant presence for all my time as a fan. Always bought VOTV and clearly loved the club. An abandoned game is the least he deserved. RIP, mate.

Late contender for Person of the Year. Raw selfless instinctive courage of someone who almost certainly prevented further loss of life, and helped bring to an end a horrific and hateful assault on a Jewish gathering

A fact that Britain's reactionary Right ignores

So it’s official. A majority of Reform’s Parliamentary Party were Tory MPs in 2019. 🚮 They cheered Truss. They botched Brexit. They failed Britain. Now they’re asking for another go. NO THANKS. ❌

Please see my statement below following tonight’s Parliamentary Labour Party meeting.

Local families have lost a vital hub since Parkside Community Centre was demolished. We cannot let this space be lost forever. I want to hear from local residents, complete my survey today danielfrancis.uk/parkside.

⬇️ Inflation down ⬇️ Interest rates down ⬇️ Borrowing down ⬆️ Retail sales up ⬆️ UK fastest growing European G7 economy There's more to do, but our economic plan is the right one. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Matt Goodwin faced GB News complaint over colleague’s claim of ‘inappropriate comments’ Upset young woman: “It’s sexual harassment.” ⁦Matt Goodwin⁩: “It’s miscommunication!” Nigel Farage: “It’s Matt being Matt!” We all see same old pattern 😔 theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

The choice in Gorton and Denton is as simple as this: Unity - with a Labour MP who will get things done. Or division - with a Reform candidate who has proven time and time again that he isn’t fit to stand up for this community.
