A community arts centre, staging events and performances for ordinary people, in an ordinary Yorkshire town. Doesn't seem much to ask for, does it? My Bluesky friends, could you please repost Reece's message below, to bring this to as many people's attention as possible? Thanks 👍

Yes I kept wondering when the Headline would read, "Johnson and Hancock killed our loved ones" But no, just quietly shovelled down the agenda, even by the Guardian

Coverage of the troubled relationship between the King and his youngest son dominates front pages at the expense of 43,000, mostly needless, deaths. Hancock and Johnson should be in prison.

Some of my neighbors think everything’s OK: “I read across the spectrum. Things aren’t so bad. Just a lotta hype. Making money offa sensationalism.” They’re intentionally blind to the obvious, to reality itself, plainly visible. Germans after Nazism “I didn’t know.” My neighbors will say so, too.

Have that! Tell me where he’s wrong. I’ll wait.

"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.

If he is genuinely remorseful about his past and looking to make amends then good luck to him. But he doesn't get allowed back into politics for the same reason convicted paedophiles don't get to work in schools and convicted embezzlers don't get to work as pension advisors.

Hate is such a terrible word but I honestly HATE Farage with a passion. He is a useless traitor and he'll get his comeuppance soon ☝️💩

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

🧵1/ Kemi Badenoch’s characterisation of Bridget Phillipson as having “acted like a Gestapo officer” over private school VAT fees are contemptible, unbecoming of any parliamentarian and demonstrate - yet again - that Badenoch is completely unfit for public office.

Lord Heseltine: "We must not have Reform or Restore or anything like it anywhere near the corridors of power in this country. I’ve seen it all before. [Oswald] Mosley in the 30s, Enoch Powell in the 60s."

Russia’s war of aggression has crossed yet another line. A Russian drone incursion struck a densely populated area in Romania, injuring civilians. On EU territory. We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people.

I love commentators who say Labour's comms are poor who then get arsy when some of us post lists of Labour's achievements, like this one for example. Get called Starmerites or bizzarly Starmer supporters as an insult. There's no rhyme nor reason to most of the criticism.

Labour responds to reports Nigel Farage owes almost £10k for county court judgment after pocketing £5 million: “Farage’s finances just get murkier and murkier. If this is how he handles his own affairs, the public can have no faith in his ability to manage the public finances if Reform won power."
