@PolitlcsUK What an ego trip!

🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham says he wants to run in the Makerfield by-election to "save Labour"

What? Ever? Not even for a state visit? Not even commemorating the alliance that defeated Nazism? This is fake patriotism.

Ukrainian flags are flown from buildings, worn as badges & displayed on x profiles to show sympathy with their people - bombed & brutalised by Putin, without provocation. For a new Reform council to prioritise their removal looks, at best, callous - at worst, a win for Putin.

I genuinely don’t understand the outrage over Spotify’s temporary app icon. A 20-year anniversary is exactly when a company should be allowed to do something playful and different. The default will be back soon.

me when i was 7 and put my moms headbands on my eyes and pretended to be cyclops from x-men

@Lady_FanAccount The only good song they made, imo.

The Scientist was written by Chris Martin in one night after an argument with his girlfriend at the time. The video, directed by Jamie Thraves, is shot entirely in reverse! the band had to learn to walk and sing backwards during the recordings.

@farzyness It's just for their 20th!

Whoever designed this needs to be fired immediately:

@amazingmap There’s around 500 fluent Cornish speakers, but there are thousands learning.

Celtic language distribution across Britain and Ireland

@Yaaaaboiii212 @gagamente Please 😭 this is my dream! Both classically trained, both legends 🙏

@gagamente Mark my words. I know that Nine Inch Nails will collaborate with her after this and that’s if they haven’t already collaborated 👀

This is why Gaga doesn’t need to pander to gen-z nor switch to hyperpop, she will never sacrifice her artistry for the sake of seeming modern

President Xi giving Trump rose seeds after him and Melania destroyed the White House rose garden with a giant concrete slab is unbelievably petty and I love it.

@FroodMultiple @naomimorris1980 That’s a very detailed fantasy you’ve built there 😂

@naomimorris1980 @tamsynstrike The wailing, sobbing and bed wetting of your ilk would suggest otherwise.

And the shit show starts in Essex 😕. Pray for me 🫣

@FroodMultiple @naomimorris1980 We’ll cope fine. But removing flags that were flown in solidarity with people fleeing war says something bleak about Reform and the direction they want to take our country.

@tamsynstrike @naomimorris1980 All foreign flags removed from English council offices? How will we cope?!

@grxndesenigma I want RockGa, but would be happy with a dark rock-synth sound 👌

Also this is 100% her way of saying “this is what i’m doing next”

@DrWoodfunk @grxndesenigma My immediate thought 😂

@DevotionSarah @esc_scary I disagree about Sweden, they’ve done some brilliant shows with great hosts, especially Petra Mede.

@esc_scary UK were brilliant hosts, make Italy, Austria, Sweden etc look like amateurs!

finland? doesn’t deserve it israel? terrible france? abysmal australia? uk hosting 🤮 italy? italian hosting. greece? already won before SO VOTE #24 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

@BKlisarski @esc_scary I’m confused, I get why you mentioned Israel, but UK are in the continent of Europe and European Broadcasting Union 😂

@esc_scary Israel is not in euro, must not be there, same as uk. Dara is the best

@AndyBurnhamGM “I truly do not take a single vote for granted” seems a bit hollow when you’re preparing to walk away from a full mayoral term that you promised voters you’d serve.

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

how it feels to not know a single chris brown song

@naomimorris1980 B or C. B uses Oxford comma, C doesn't, but both are correct! 😁

I want to say B…. ?
