Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.
Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

The far right will never fix anything. Ever. We shouldn’t need to learn that lesson again.

Reform gained control of some councils last month – cue the DOGE “efficiency auditors.”
But they forget crucial steps and are manufacturing outrage.
This is a meticulous, line-by-line takedown of their theatrics from The Bear.
No noise. No spin. Just forensic finance.

As the 5th anniversary of Brexit approaches, here's the chillingly methodical moment when the UK flag was removed from the EU Council building in Brussels. Since then, not a single Brexit promise has come true.

Is it a 'thing' to play radio adverts repetitively so not only do they annoy you but put you off the brand?

I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me

#Snow this morning in London with the sound of excited children in the distance. It was quite heavy for a while before it turned to sleet.
Love how snow changes the sound of a place.
Sound on!

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year.
Mainly people escaping Balkan wars.
Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers.
Had you been taken in?
I wouldn’t blame you.
