I started my day with an early walkabout in the city centre - same as on my very first day in 2017.

There are still too many people being forced onto our streets but the big difference between then and now is we can give everyone an offer of help. 👍🏻

I have today been sworn in for my third term as Mayor and, just as promised on Saturday, have stuck Jo’s words up on my office wall.

I accept that the price of my power is to fight every day for a GM where people can live free from the fear of debt, hunger and eviction. 💪🏻

Thrilled and humbled to have been sworn in as the new Member of Parliament for #BlackpoolSouth .

It's an incredible privilege to represent my home town and I’m honoured to serve the wonderful people who make our town so special.

Now it's time to get to work.

Brilliant to welcome Chris Webb MP to Parliament as the new Labour MP for Blackpool South.

Thank you to everyone who put your trust in my changed Labour Party.

Labour is back in the service of working people.

Liam Rosenior would be ideal for Rovers, especially with his track record of developing Premier League loanees. Would be a 'project' more in line with the Mowbray/JDT eras, something for fans to buy into again.

Manager of the season nominee getting sacked😳

First question in Brighton Pavilion hustings: if we vote for you, how do we know you'll still want the job 3 days later?

I've not read a better piece on what's driving Starmer's Labour. It's absolutely not Blairism, that is for sure. Absolutely essential reading.

Nine years ago today, Jo Cox was elected as the MP for Batley and Spen.💜

In her short time in parliament, Jo gained respect across the house and campaigned passionately on a range of local, national and international issues.

This is very poor.

Yes.

Could go through the whole Palace team last night and give them high marks out of 10. But Adam Wharton was absolutely superb in centre mid. Worked hard, quality on the ball, good football intelligence. Only 20, he's made the step up from Championship mid season look easy 🙌 10/10

Wharton should at least be considered for the Euros if Mainoo is in the picture?

Crystal Palace are world class at picking up talent from the Championship. 🔥🔥🔥

First trophy in 40+ years
Set for 3 top ten finishes in 4 years
Saved them from relegation twice
Developed a £100m player
Plucked Bowen from the EFL
Paqueta, Kudus, Soucek.

Leaves with head held high.

That Adam Wharton lad looks decent, doesn’t he? 🌟

Best two players on the pitch so far plucked from the Championship.

On this day, 9 years ago, Lionel Messi broke Jerome Boateng’s ankles before chipping Manuel Neuer 🐐🥶

Simply sensational.

A large-scale invasion of Rafah would be a huge mistake.

Instead, Israel should opt for a more limited approach to surgically target Hamas’ leadership and forces, and embrace the opportunities for regional normalisation which Biden has so wisely offered.
