For as long as I’ve been a reporter, the north has been calling for a major new rail plan and we’ve been promised Northern Powerhouse Rail and let down many times
Obviously the devil will be in the detail, but this feels like a big commitment to the north from the government. Good news.

I know it's not popular on here to suggest that there may be a rational basis for Trump's policies, but the undeniable fact is that unless you control Canada and Greenland you don't get the +5 troops bonus for North America.

If you are venturing out on foot today, we would recommend wearing your council supplied ice skates as the pavements are very slippy.
Officers will be grading residents skating performances, and anyone seen skating in a 'controlled and graceful manner' may be recruited for our Winter Olympic team.

So @coventrycitypusb.bsky.social -when are you leaving twitter (X)?
If you really do have a ‘close and strong connection’ with the Womens and girls team as it says in the website below then it’s surely untenable to stay. Be the first club to make a stand.

Always a good idea to turn off auto-play videos; choose what you see and what you don't.

I never wrote to my MP - but this made me do it. It’s ludicrous. And it is not for OFCOM - it’s a government choice. No one is forcing them to post anywhere.
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.
