Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway….

Worrying! I'm guessing this is connected with local government organisation going on at present - but no detail on replacement structures. We need experienced archaeologists in these roles

High Court rules ban on Palestine Action unlawful. As we knew all along, the government were acting illegally. Pardons, apologies and compensation should now be extended to the nigh-on 3000 people arrested for showing their support of a Legal organisation. Shame on you Starmer yet again.

Yes, this is Green Party data, and may not be accurate. However, it tells a truth about what decent thinking, humane, non-racist Labour voters need to do in Gorton and Denton at the end of the month. VOTE GREEN, KEEP REFORM OUT. It's all that matters.
