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.

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.

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.

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."

Her first application was withdrawn because it did not meet space standards on units. planningexplorer.barnsley.gov.uk/Home/Applica... Then they resubmitted for 8 flats which were then approved. Guess who’s Barnsley Council's chair of the planning committee? Yep, she is.

Litening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social, we have kids who can't get jobs despite doing the right things, while at the other end the retirement age is being raised, even though jobs get harder to find the older you are. Seems obvious that the only ones benefitting are the tax-shy ultra-wealthy. UBI now.

Andy Burnham and his "blokeish" charm seems unstoppable in his scheme to oust Keir Starmer... But is there a growing "queasiness" about how fast the former Mayor of Greater Manchester has manoeuvred, in a rise "created from nowhere"? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/is-a...
