So sad to hear of the passing of David Lynch, creator of what was one of TV’s greatest surreal dramas! Such a legacy left to the film industry. That’s my weekend sorted 😊 “This must be where pies go when they die.”

Another year attending the annual @jamesstarsailor Christmas show at Strines pub in Marple. Seeing James in a crowd of 60 reaffirms his warmth and focuses on the strength of song-writing. Thanks James and looking forward to the orchestral @Starsailorband show in Liverpool 🎄🎅🏻
Outstanding work from one of the hardest working charities in the UK. You will save lives because of your campaigning 👏
During the general election, we pushed for change and urged the government to put stalking victims front and centre.
The Labour party pledged to introduce a national stalking action plan (shorturl.at/vixR2) - a campaign win!

Where was your rage when Tories spent £Bs on useless PPE, only for them to write it off? Where was your rage when Tories wasted £Bs on failed HS2? Where was rage when Tories gave Rwanda £700m upfront only to not get it back? Where was your rage when Tories wasted £Bs on failed barges whose contracts happened to be Tory peers? Where was your rage when Tories gave £Bs in contracts on asylum hotels, to again their peers? I could go on forever about Tories wasting fucking money but NO now you’re all angry. 14 fucking years and you harp on now… you are all YEARS too late. Our public services are decimated and now someone has to clean up. So please shut up with your faux care you absolute bastards.

#ASBAwarenessWeek: Community Action Day
Police, local authorities, housing providers, health services, charities and other organisations all play a crucial role in #MakingCommunitiesSafer - but there's another stakeholder that is often overlooked - the community itself.
You, as a member of your community, can make a real difference when it comes to ensuring your community is a safe place that enables those living there to thrive.
So, as the week comes to a close, today is all about getting out in your community!
There are hundreds of community events taking place across the country. Let us know what's going on in your area below 👇
Looking to swap my two @jamesstarsailor tickets at Strines Nightingale on Tuesday 17th December for two tickets the following night - really don’t want to miss my annual pilgrimage - got my dates mixed up😊🎅🏻Anyone help me out? Thanks 🤞🏼
Does anyone know if the 6pm Doors for @arooj_aftab tonight at @projecthouselds Leeds is indicating an early start to the show or will the set times be similar to last night in Glasgow? Thanks - really don’t want to turn up late @BrudPresents @Nath_Brudenell

Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Holly Newton today.
We would urge anyone who thinks they may be being stalked to reach out for help and speak to our advocates who can help support you and provide expert advice. Call @TalkingStalking on 0808 802 0300.

The #stalkingsupercomplaint
committee found that the use of Stalking Protection Orders (SPOs) across policing was worryingly low.
Clear guidance on SPOs is essential to ensure more victims of stalking receive this vital protection.
This is the most shameful and vile footage from a weekend full of horror. Gary Lineker was shouted down for saying the language of politicians was similar to 30’s Germany. These actions are similar to those employed during the Kristallnacht in ‘38. Language emboldens actions!

Our charity was founded as a result of the brutally racist murder of Anthony Walker.
This weekend we have seen violent and criminal actions targeting people of colour. Hate crime is a serious concern and poses a threat to people’s lives and cohesive, strong communities.
If you would like to speak with a member of our Hate Crime Team about our services and how we can support you, please contact the Foundation on 0151 237 3974 or email [email protected]
So angry that community assets which exist to enrich and grow strong communities have being destroyed by mindless racist violent thugs who try to hide behind a ‘defence’ of those very same communities they are destroying - sickening few days
Mark & Debbie from #Spellow Hub, express their sorrow after the destruction of their community hub. The service gives vital support to the community & the devastation caused by the appalling criminal actions of a minority has left people in shock.

As Chair of the @UKLabour group of Police and Crime Commissioners, I want to be very clear that the statement issued by the PCC for Hampshire & the Isle of Wight on 3rd August, does not represent the views of Labour #PCCs and Deputy Mayors.
Please read our full statement:
ALT As Labour Police and Crime Commissioners, we want to be very clear that the statement issued by Donna Jones, the PCC for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight on Saturday 3rd August, does not represent our views. There is absolutely no excuse or justification for the mindless destruction, vandalism and violence seen in cities and towns across the country this week. It puts the safety of our police officers and our residents in grave danger, and it is leading to chaos and criminality on our streets. It is not protest. It is serious violent disorder, and it is intolerable. All those who have taken part in these despicable acts should expect to feel the full force of the law. We have already seen more than 100 arrests across the country and more will follow. The mindless thuggery that we have seen this week stems from a wave of misinformation and lies spread by those seeking to sow division and hate following the unspeakable tragedy which took place in Southport on Monday.
