@LisaSmartMP How many houses were allocated in the GMSF for Stockport versus this new plan?

We need affordable homes and the services to support them, not developer-led executive homes on green spaces. This Labour Government is getting it wrong. And I want you to help send them a message that we need the right homes in the right places.

The Labour Government's Local Plan for Stockport was published last week. Over one third of the green belt in Stockport has been redesignated as "grey belt" with fewer protections. And allocations for thousands of homes have come forward on those former grey belt sites.

Pro tip: remove hair. The weight of extra hair pushes down onto brain cells and makes thinking clearly much harder.

Fun little tinker this weekend - built something to grab every song played on Radio 6 in the last week and give me a few playlists. One for everything, one for recent stuff, and one for recent stuff that's been played lots. Already found a bunch of new music:

@RopesToInfinity The old road up to the tor is so cool, was here the other weekend getting flung about by the wind.

Good to go up big fucking hills and get blown about like a dickhead imho. Had horrible flashbacks to doing those fucking cairn minigames in Assassin's Creed Valhalla though

Went here, too tired to think of a funny caption though

@martinrue "Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof" is my favourite of these - I only understand "train station"

The idiom "It’s all Greek to me" has examples in other languages. To the French & Spanish, it’s Chinese. In Hindi it’s Persian. Even Esperanto has a saying: "Tio estas volapukaĵo" – that's Volapük (a 19th century constructed language). Give me more funny examples, #langtwt! 😁

@DemonTomatoDave @hansmollman One of the greatest: youtube.com/watch?v=heqEZ2…

Been re-listening to a lot of Frightened Rabbit and really do think Scott Hutchinson was one of the greatest songwriters of a generation, and I’m sad about it!!!!

@hansmollman Was absolutely devastated by Scott. Fucking hilarious and gentle and absolutely filthy - not sure anyone else could have pulled off both Keep Yourself Warm AND Floating in the Forth. On the same album!

@ClareSudbery @BBC6Music Absolutely loving this while I debug some stuff - roundabout story was ace :D

Here's the full playlist of candidate songs for this morning's @BBC6Music "Back to the 90s" feature: open.spotify.com/playlist/0Rztc…

This EP sounds good too

@martinrue Gorgeous today isn't it! We've headed off to the new park at Mayfield and it's *glorious*

Good morning Manchester. Good to be back, especially with this awesome autumn weather.

@itsmotherswork Should have been a final. Unbelievable. Gutted for Ireland.

Gutted for Fiji. Some cynical shit from Wales there, probably another yellow deserved.

@totalcurtis We live under the same path, and it's mad how quickly you become immune. We've had guests over who are "WTF IS THAT" and we've hardly noticed.
