Brendan Bunting Art 🇯🇲🇮🇪

"More must be done to help all young people realise their potential. For the arts, that means working in communities where disadvantage is common,to break down the socio-economic barriers" Nicholas Serota. Very relevant to Blackpool and our art scene

“You’ve shone a light, this is an important moment.” NEW after our year long investigative reporting - a £30m High Street organised crime unit’s been announced to target illegal mini-marts/vape shops. During 12 months BBC News exposed 🚨drug gangs 🚨child sexual exploitation 🚨immigration crime Reaction from Security Minister @DanJarvisMBE and a pledge to review laws

Why’s the Reform candidate suspended from Twitter? Kind of speaks volumes!

Politics isn’t working for places like ours. I will change that. #AndyBurnham #ForUs

Scott Margerison (aka EDobbin) who harassed a 15yr old at Robinson’s march, has form for targeting/filming young women without their consent using perv glasses. The clips show a pattern of objectification and gratification from vulnerability. Sick fuck. Protect our girls, yeah?

Far-right influencer EDobbin went to Tommy Robinson’s march and filmed himself harassing a 15-year-old girl in front of her mum. Even after they told him her age and walked away, he followed her, asking for her “details” and said she should have a “warning sign” on her.

No condemnation from our politicians. No outrage from the media. No action by the police. British Muslims are sent a clear message: You are fair game for hatred.

CHAMPIONS AGAIN! 🏆 Celtic are crowned Champions of Scotland for the FIFTH season in a row! Huge congratulations to Martin O’Neill and the Bhoys #Champion5 | #CelticFC🍀🏆

Nothing like an early start. Mon the Celts! 🇵🇹 🍀

@robwalker00 @AndyBurnhamGM Massive investment in the North West. Knows the challenges Blackpool face and as a PM would work will with our MPs to improve our town and the lives of the most vulnerable in a community. He’s worth a chance Rob.

@AndyBurnhamGM @DapperArtist Another Labour traitor 🤡

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

Andy Burnham should run on the message to Makerfield that he wants to be PM to create a better country. Promise to invest heavily in Makerfield & Wigan areas. Ask voters to give their votes, and if he fails to keep promises/objectives then vote him out in two years. Simple!

@PolitlcsUK Catherine West = 🤡

🚨 NEW: Catherine West says Keir Starmer could win a leadership contest and does not rule out voting for him "Many of us like Keir very much... he's got excellent credentials on the international stage"

@patrickkmaguire Catherine West 🤡

Catherine West now on Radio 4 saying Keir Starmer could win a leadership election and not ruling out voting for him

Catherine West on the World At One after the last few days! 🙈

Now the dust has settled.. The reaction from many high profile people is way over the top. John Beaton was advised to go to the monitor and saw that the ball hit the arm in an unnatural position Bottom line is people would hate to see Celtic win the title again and that is all.

Celtic have just scored a 99th minute penalty at Motherwell to take the title race to the last day… 🤯🤯 Celtic play Hearts at Celtic Park on Saturday. Incredible! 😲 Look at that away end when it goes in… 😍

Get in there Celtic! 🍀✊🏾
