All gigs should finish by 10pm - people can either get home at a decent hour or go and have a drink afterwards to discuss it and not have to rush off to get public transport.

1/2. Arkwright House. Stoneygate. Preston. This stunning piece of Georgian architecture was the home to Richard Arkwright, a pioneer of the Industrial Revolution. It is an historically important building. It is just being left to go to rack and ruin. @HistoricEngland

Love the 10pm finish. Should be standard really.

Our 2025 Tour is on sale NOW! £12 tickets / 10PM finish / 2 band bill



Another case of Preston spontaneous combustion. No one can explain this mystery.

Preston smoulders again. The wilful neglect and fire of yet another historic building in Preston. It is beyond a joke now. Will the ‘investigations’ ever lead to a meaningful conviction? We all know the score. @blogpreston @Gillylancs @GranadaReports @Davedaly51Dave @BBCNWT

The funny thing is Stewart was right the first time. He actually said she wasn’t up to it and they shouldn’t pick her to replace Biden. He warned them. Then he drank Kool Aid.

For the record - I was completely wrong about Kamala Harris. It is heartbreaking that Trump is now the President.

The greatest ever transport planning mistake

Remember that we decided to destroy the world's most extensive tram network for the benefit of rich private car owners. One of the most socially and environmentally ruinous decisions this country has made since the advent of the industrial revolution.

Witnessed a terrible case of @QueuesPub in the @WaterEdgeInn last night. Signs up asking people not to do it and yet still endemic and blocking the space for staff trying to move around and bring food out. When will this scourge end?


Alex Reposted

Just a bunch of ordinary concerned folk, definitely no far-right in this country

⚠️ SAFETY ALERT It has been brought to our attention that dangerous stickers have been discovered at a railway station that, once removed, have razor blades stuck to them. Please take extreme care and do not attempt to remove them.

I voted Labour today not in the hope of getting a government I can support, but of getting one I can at least oppose with respect.

A sustainable end to #Poverty and #foodbanks in Uk is possible. It requires a government to choose to redistribute wealth, improve welfare and increase number of inclusive and democratic forms of ownership.

This is true, but it isn't a gotcha. For a lot of Tories, policies aren't things with real-world effects but are merely poses to be struck in the cause of career advancement. "Political" correspondents buy into this view.

They cut away the social support system and now they complain that the society is collapsing….

🇺🇸 #UnitedStates: In 1999, the US Marine Corps tested skateboards as a possible tool for Marines in urban combat environments. The boards were used during the Marine’s “Urban Warrior” exercise, with troops using the boards to maneuver buildings and check for tripwires.

English water privatisation was a known ripoff from the outset, but ignored by mainstream commentators. It has taken over 3 decades of shareholder excessive bounty and torrents of wealth extraction for this myopic dogma to weaken.

a reminder that Thames Water’s debts have grown from *zero* to over £18bn since privatisation - with billions sucked out in dividends
