🍂 In Formby and Freshfield, #FalseAutumn is all around.
🍎 Fruits/berries have ripened weeks early, and sun-baked leaves are already underfoot as trees ‘shut down’ for winter. #photography

🇺🇸 Good luck Tommy Fleetwood as he chases his first PGATOUR win later.
🏌🏽♂️ His golf journey began playing the council-run Southport course as a kid, and then Formby Hall.
⛳️ Next summer Tommy returns to the Sefton coast for the The Open at Royal Birkdale

▪️A grubby, narcissistic pair - both only in politics for themselves.
▪️These fake patriots are the worst kind of politicians.
▪️They ride on the backs of workers, families and communities - delivering nothing but misery and hardship.

🔸Rightly, the narrow definition for ‘terrorism’ will come under scrutiny. It is outdated.
🔸We have boxed ourselves in with word play, risking public harm, as seen more than once in Britain over recent years.
🔸It can also lead, often wrongly, to opportunist claims of cover-up.
