Paging @doublearrow64.bsky.social someone has picked up version 3 of the Wayfinding guidance in the North West! Salford Central has had its second resign in 18 months and looks much better for it.

@showmeasign.online Remember, I called this ages ago! 🤦🤣
Very interesting revelation in
@kitty-donaldson.bsky.social's evening newsletter:
Andrew Gwynne, one of the MPs rumoured to be thinking of standing down to make way for Andy Burnham, has applied to the Commons authorities to retire on medical grounds.

Help! We're in urgent need of a speedo drive to fit a Dennis Trident with Voith gearbox. This is Stagecoach Manchester 612 and - as our most accessible bus - we're hoping to use it at the end of the month to transport people with disabilities. If you can help quickly, please contact [email protected]

Morning all. Not the best photo sadly but these must be a rare thing on the railway... There can't have been a huge amount of signs with "RailTrack" on them. This one by the cement works near Salford Central is hanging on... @doublearrow64.bsky.social @showmeasign.online @rclongauthor.bsky.social

Another in the series of "odd places to find the double arrow" is this sticker on a lamp post on Ancoats in Manchester. After dismissing this as the new GBR logo (!) I did wonder, has any other logo been adopted by society as much as this one? @doublearrow64.bsky.social

Today's agreement with the #EU is not a betrayal as our ever more headline hungry media is reporting, but level headed economic sense. Above all, it resets vital relations with our key trading and security partner - much needed in this evolving global landscape. Congratulations to #UK and EU.

Terrific reporting by @nytimes.com. Shame the British media can’t expose this for themselves. Will only fuel suspicion that Farage and his Brexit gang are - and have always been - a Putinist front
Major Reform U.K. Donor Sold Weapons Parts to Russian Supplier
The aerospace company H.R. Smith Group was an early backer of the party after Nigel Farage became leader. Reform has faced criticism over comments seen as supporting Moscow.

Hi. Do you think it’s ridiculous that wealthy foreigners could potentially donate huge sums of money to British political parties and would like Labour to maybe do something to close the loopholes that allow this? Then maybe sign this petition:
Petition: Tighten the rules on political donations
We want the government to:
Remove loopholes that allow wealthy foreign individuals to make donations into UK political parties (e.g. by funnelling through UK registered companies).
Cap all donations ...
