🚨NEW: Federal Judge Richard Leon has blocked the construction of Donald Trump's White House ballroom, saying "The President is the steward of the White House for future generations...he is not the owner!"
RETWEET to thank Judge Leon for standing up for our democracy!

What do you think about taxing billionaires at a higher percentage rate???

How, why? Perhaps, like the new ferry that has been built @MetroMayorSteve can invite tenders to construct a new "Grand Lady".

As we say goodbye to the Royal Iris of the Mersey, our thoughts turn to the original 'Grand Lady' still sitting on the Thames. It’s heartbreaking to see her derelict, but her spirit lives on in the thousands of memories she gave to the people of Liverpool and Wirral. From the famous 'Fish and Chip' cruises to the Merseybeat parties, she was the heart of the river. Did you ever sail on the original Royal Iris? Share your favourite memories or photos below! 👇

The late, great Paul O'Grady relays the tale of taking kids to this cinena from the care home in West Kirby where he worked. Funniest thing I have ever read!

Thank you to all of the amazing crew who kept the Royal Iris moving all these years! 💙
“An era of the river is drawing to a close. Built in 1959, retired in 1989 and later brought back into service, the Royal Iris of the Mersey has operated on the Mersey for more than six decades; one of the most challenging and unforgiving rivers in the world. An iconic boat, a fantastic piece of maritime engineering and a testament to the original designers. ⛴️
“I worked aboard in the ‘tuck shop’ and later as a Deckhand, Mate and Captain, and in recent years have overseen from ashore. For me, retirement marks progress; the same opportunities that shaped me are now there for the next generation of people and apprentices and I love that I have been able to shape that.
Operating and maintaining a boat like this takes constant effort, and over the years there has been plenty of blood, sweat and tears invested in keeping her going. I both love and hate this boat in equal measure! More than sixty years of relentless operation on the Mersey is quite a gauntlet to lay down.” 💙

The Swan, Wood Street, Liverpool. Not sure if the sale for the pub has gone through yet.
There's a lot of local worry that a new owner might gentrify the pub or turn it into a modern wine bar, stripping away the alternative/rock identity that has made it a sanctuary for decades. However, since it's being sold as a "going concern", there is a chance a buyer might choose to keep the brand and vibe exactly as it is.

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!

Shame the original #RoyalIris has been left to rot elsewhere.

I caught this view of India Buildings while standing atop the former Martins Bank Building on Water Street, and it’s incredible how these two are architectural twins.
If you’ve ever walked down Water Street and felt like you were in 1920s Manhattan, there’s a reason. Here are 4 things these Liverpool icons have in common:
1️⃣ The Same "Mastermind": Both were designed by the legendary architect Herbert J. Rowse. He won the competitions to design both, and he was so proud of them that he actually kept his own offices inside both buildings.
2️⃣ Rowse worked in New York and Chicago before coming home, and he brought that American Beaux-Arts ambition back to Liverpool. Both buildings use massive steel frames clad in Portland Stone, filling entire city blocks just like the skyscrapers of Wall Street.
3️⃣ If you’ve seen the barrel-vaulted shopping arcade in India Buildings or the jaw-dropping banking hall in Martins, you’ll see the shared DNA: Travertine marble, ornate bronze, and a level of luxury rarely seen in offices today.
4️⃣ Both saw action in WWII. While India Buildings was tragically bombed in 1941 (and later painstakingly restored by Rowse himself), Martins Bank was used to secretly hide 280 tonnes of the UK’s gold reserves to keep them safe from invasion.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just ENDED UK PM Keir Starmer's whole career in the Oval Office *Turns around*: "I'm DISAPPOINTED. You see that man right there? Know who that is? The late, great WINSTON CHURCHILL." "Unfortunately, Keir Starmer is NOT Winston Churchill." 🔥🔥
