Albert Square, Manchester, 1976. Very different layout - with bus shelters on the left (Town Hall on the right). In the distance - view down Cross St.

Seriously, this is something else. It will soon be possible to be a graduate on minimum wage in the UK and face a 37% marginal tax rate (20% income tax, 8% NI, plus 9% uni fees repayment). Throw in auto-enrolment at 5% and 6% loan repay for postgrads and it's 48%

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Now imagine (and this is crazy I know, but stick with me here) a reliable train running between literally any of these places…

So, daughter has arranged her student housing for next year in Durham...house was bought for 180k 8 years ago...now worth 355k ish. The landlord will take in 49k in rent from the 6 students next year. Rinse and repeat. But we don't have a problem with rent prices at all do we.

It's not just hospitality - public transport is broken and proper investment would have economic benefits all round. Don't send dwp into hospitals and cut PIP, create an affordable, safe, flexible and frequent transport system that allows people to get to jobs @UKLabour

Last night @northernassist cancelled many trains to and from Manchester, giving staff shortages as the reason. On a busy Saturday night, the knock on effect of cancellations within hospitality is damaging and inexcusable. Not good enough @northernassist

One-third of female mental health inpatients-and almost that of male inpatients-have experienced domestic abuse. For decades, we've been fighting to get domestic abuse workers into mental health hospitals but have been blocked. Now, they want to bring in job coaches instead.

How can we be a functioning country with this nonsense happening. Just running no services at all on some lines. Absolute joke.

If a 21yo rents a single room in London at today's rate, they will have put more than £100,000 into their landlords bank account by the time they reach their 30th birthday. This is why young people don't have mortgage deposits or pension plans. We are other peoples'.

Shocking & deeply upsetting. Nearly a third of female rapes reported to police involved girls aged 18 & under in yr to March. Data on female rape victims disclosed by 31/43 police forces in Eng & Wales show 1,458 girls aged 14 reported a rape in 2023/4, more than any other age gp

Excl: Girls aged 14 now make up the most common group to report rape to the police. In an interview with @thetimes, Yvette Cooper says the "incredibly disturbing figure" is a sign of how violent pornography is “fundamentally changing” the views of young boys about sex:…
