Put community repair shops on every high street. Our work shows people love it, increases community interaction & helps people keep essential goods going for longer giving them more money to spend on food & utility bills It reduces waste and so reduces local authority costs. It is a win, win, win.

Sorry but why the fuck would you *not* want to recreate 2006?Pre-financial crash, pre-austerity, pre-Brexit, pre-inflation. Britain's economically healthy, decent public services, largely competent government, fairly amiable political disputes. What kind of person prefers this period to that?
Kemi Badenoch says the Tories are "not trying to recreate 2006" which, to this 38 year old, is a pity

If Matthew Goodwin is the very best Reform can muster for an eminently winnable by-election, the unfeasibly warm welcomes for the worst of Johnson & Truss's flotsam & jetsam suddenly make much more sense.

Emily Thornberry MP:

"How dare this man, who's never seen any action, who somehow or other, when there was a draft for everybodyelse in the United States, managed to avoid it"

"And yet now is commander in Chief and knows nothing about how it is that America has been defended."

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Took a day off work to take the bastard cat to the vet for an exploratory investigation. Bastard cat will not get in the cat carrier. Having a pet is so relaxing

100%. He can be a world class shot stopper, but indecision and poor kicking from Perri have cost us before today too. Might as well have played Meslier 😉 Certainly have more faith in Darlow

In Prague so missed the game but sounds like a well earned point for #lufc. See you at Elland Road on Sunday 😊

FT Liverpool 0-0 Leeds United

What a point. What a defensive performance. And a clean sheet, at Anfield. Unbeaten in six. Absolutely remarkable.

Not quite sure how the only thing Adingra has come away from that first half with is a goal. Second challenge on Rodon was 100% a booking #LUFC
