There are around 1,500 rivers in Britain, so the government’s manifesto pledge to create a mere 9 river walks is simply pathetic.
Give the public a right of responsible access to all rivers & the wider countryside.

🌀 Every river for everyone. 9 river trespasses are taking place over November to address the inadequate promise of the 9 river walks proposed by the Government last year.

Fascinating BBC story about Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying a local street is blighted by immigrations living in shared accommodation, only for locals to suggest this is bollocks. Political lesson: take on church wardens and sensible pensioners at your peril.

Had some more clarity on what happens to #SWFC if/when they breach the 30-day rule, and - I think - it could be seen as *good* news…
It’s not classed as an embargo, that’s for unpaid wages etc. What Wednesday will get is a ‘transfer fee ban’. More here: www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

Hillsborough really needs investment, but must be careful what we wish for. New stadiums are rarely built to benefit fans. They can burden clubs with huge debt, suck cash out of cities that back them while pricing ordinary fans out, to line wealthy owners pockets

We made David Blunkett laugh out loud by telling him he was the most liberal Home Sec ever - at least on drugs. He's the only one ever to downgrade the classification of a drug. Cannabis from B to C. Reversed by Alan Johnson of course, despite use actually falling.
I mean Roy Jenkins was from *a* right of the party but arguably not the dominant right of the time (social liberal European social democrat versus authoritarian social conservative mates with the union bosses, George Brown territory)
