Really is ridiculous. Needs a proper high speed trainline. Should be 20 mins from Leeds to Manchester done properly... like a bullet train!

One day, probably after all our time 🤦🏻‍♀️

@mayorofwy.bsky.social @mayorofgm.bsky.social please get some money and sort a northern arc, only feasible option for commuting between Leeds and Manchester is by car presently. £60 a day return and an embarrassingly long journey for 36 miles

Not viable to commute to Manchester from Leeds which is only 36 miles. The prices and times are embarrassing. £58.80 on the train or £14 in petrol. driving also much quicker….

Surely the practice of building lifeless,single storey, blank fronted, parking dominated shite like this in residential urban areas needs to stop. Address the fucking street and stack resi on top! This is an authority also claiming it can’t meet its 5yr HLS!

Is Elon Musk now calling the shots in British politics?

Health Sec. Wes Streeting says the X owner is getting 'too much oxygen.'

But The News Agents ask: Hasn't it already gone further than that?

Once again, we should not be taking insight into grooming/rape gangs from a man who had a child with his stepdaughter whom he helped raise from the age of FOUR...

“I’m no stranger to people trying to silence women like me.”

Jess Phillips tells BBC's Newsnight that "disinformation" spread by Elon Musk was "endangering" her but that it was "nothing" compared to the experiences of victims of abuse.

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action.

“The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.

Telling that Starmer's response focused on the tweets about Jess Phillips rather than himself. Systems and policies matter, but never underestimate the importance of having a genuinely decent human being in charge.

Lots of people commenting on the
So called grooming gang issue in following some “intervention” from the USA

They might want to consider that Starmer left office as DPP with the highest conviction rate for child sexual abuse since records began

NEW: Starmer comes out strongly in defence of Jess Philipps and against Elon Musk who he suggests is "far right".
.
He says those who are spreading "misinformation" and "lies" about Phillips and child sexual abuse "are not interested in victims, they are interested in themselves."
