"Help us save a Manchester institution": Britons Protection to hold 'peaceful demonstration' at Heineken brewery ahead of court battle @CityLifeManc @MENnewsdesk manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-…
Stephen Kinnock: "Just let those court documents sink in... the Prime Minister, of the United Kingdom, explicitly instructed the Ministry of Defence & the Home Office to stop assisting Afghans who put their lives on the line for our country... what a betrayal of British values.."
English sparkling wine and canapés while parliament votes whether to send desperate refugees to Rwanda without even checking their claims first? If you wrote that in fiction it’d get cut for being far too clunky.

Putin's pal, Slovakia's PM Fico, refuses to send aid to Ukraine, so the Slovakians are crowdfunding it themselves, with over €3m raised in just a few days. Roll this out across 🇪🇺! Congratulations, 🇸🇰 @MierUkrajine! euromaidanpress.com/2024/04/22/slo…
This morning, Rishi Sunak said: “Last year, for the first time, the number of small boat crossings were down by 36%.” At the same time, the Home Office put out stats showing the number of crossings has gone UP this year by 24%. Story 👇 huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tories-s…
Georgia saying out loud to the country’s pro-Russian government: We are Europe! Our future is Euro-Atlantic! There will never be a Russian future in Georgia!!! I have never seen this large demonstrations in my life. Win Georgia, win!
So the government Chief Whip knew about the Mark Menzies allegations in January but only withdrew the whip when the Times reported them yesterday, three months later. Right.
💥RECORD BREAKING @IpsosUK VOTING INTENTION 💥 Lab: 44% Con: 19% Reform: 13% Lib Dems: 9% Greens: 9% Other: 6% Lowest the Conservatives have ever polled with us across 45 years of surveys (breaking last month’s record) ipsos.com/en-uk/rishi-su…
Fancy a day of quizzing for just £11? As well as a 240-question individual written paper, you’ll get a fun team quiz and a fast-paced buzzer quiz. All for just £11 (£13 in London). It’s on Saturday, 27 April at venues across the land. Sign up here: quizcentral.net/oqllive/
Just met a young man who took us up on the offer of free dry cleaning for his interview clothes…and got the job!
Teaching my first History course this semester has been rewarding but I don’t know what to do with this student
Tory MPs just voted to insist that Afghan interpreters who served British armed forces can be sent to Rwanda. A scheme which costs £2m per asylum seeker. A £500m+ scheme for less than 1% of asylum seekers. Which now includes those who worked with our troops Shameful & shambolic

Striking none of the leading candidates to succeed Sunak voted for a policy that is very popular with Conservative voters. They're focused on the views of a deeply unrepresentative group of activists, not the wider coalition they would need to build 1/2 ash.org.uk/media-centre/n…
“I think [Trump] is unfit for the presidency… As somebody who worked directly for him… I don’t think he’s the right person for our country. And so I will not be supporting him,” says former Def Sec @MarkTEsper. If voters “don’t know who he is, they’ve been asleep in a cave.”
Commons will vote again today on whether to send Afghans who served alongside British armed forces to Rwanda. People who put their lives at risk helping UK & who UK Govt promised to help in return. Truly, truly shameful that Tory MPs are insisting they go. Govt must rethink
PSA: This is your reminder that it’s the last day you can register to vote in the May elections. Every voice counts! #GiveAnX
My kid registered few weeks ago as he will be voting for the first time (I am old). Today's the last day to do it!
Sure Start worked. It had big long term effects on the educational achievement of poor children. Its demise is a study in policy failure - over centralisation, over extension, poor data, "not invented here syndrome". thetimes.co.uk/article/sure-s…

Hurray @Keir_Starmer - this is what is needed.
💥Starmer: "Tories think working people don't need culture... That's why the Tory 'culture wars' always end up as a war on culture. The arts shouldn't tell working class kids to know their place. They should help them find their place in the world, find truth and meaning." ~AA
They really are deluded. And what an awful topic for a referendum - so complex, and with such consequences for UK rights' law. Populism like this needs stamping on sharpish. IMHO obvs.

Tireless MND campaigners Sinfield and Burrow are Northerners from working class homes who played Rugby League. Chances are they’d already be Sir Kev and Sir Rob if they’d gone to Eton and played Rugby Union.
