A synagogue is on fire in Salford, on Northumberland St, the center of Manchester’s Hasidic community. 90 years ago my great-grandfather bought the BUF offices there so the Fascist Blackshirts would go away. He founded the 1st shul there. Now they’re back manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

Very nice to see this doing the rounds again. When I was a little kid I used to go to Manchester and come back with the accent. Harry and Paul thought this was very funny so wrote the sketch. The timing was perfect. 😎
Oh my goodness go and see @MySonsAQueer .. just absolutely gorgeous, hilarious, sad and beautiful .. Robert you are brilliant

Beccy’s sad death is the 4th close colleague I’ve had to report on in recent years.
Jonathan Ali, Dianne Oxberry and Dom Busby. All so talented, kind and taken too soon. Much missed and I think of them all regularly.

We are very proud the Deputy Prime Minster @AngelaRayner has been an advocate of British Sign Language (BSL) having learnt BSL. Now it’s time to ensure BSL is placed in every deaf child’s hands because the system doesn’t offer free BSL to parents of deaf children #BSLinOurHands

There are 16 million disabled people in the UK but during the six weeks of campaigning, there’s been little focus on how the main political parties are going to help them.
Ruben Reuter went to find out what they have to offer.

Thanks to those of you asking for this. Here’s the full Drum & Bass remix of the BBC News theme. Composed by @davidlowemusic2, remixed by @crissycriss. And made with this afternoon @glastonbury in mind…

I cannot imagine what it must be like for the lionesses to have WON the euros, then get 2nd in the World Cup, just for Harry Kane to say ‘England hasn’t won anything as a nation for a long, long time’.
Also, female athletes have won gold at the last FOUR Winter Olympics 🙃

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and founder and CEO of @ThisIsSurvivors, I am incredibly grateful to you @theJeremyVine for taking action on this. We, as survivors, are tired of these words and phrases being thrown around, whilst CSA victims fight to be even be heard!
@SofieHagen hi Sofie, was so excited to see you tomorrow in Sheffield. Sadly my mum has been taken to hospital so I can’t come. Could you see if anyone would like the tickets? Not to worried about the money but don’t want them to go to waste x

On Wednesday, over 100 drones will be lighting up the Manchester sky in memory of the 22 people who lost their lives at the Arena Attack in 2017.
It has been planned by Andrew Roussos, whose 8 year old daughter Saffie-Rose died in the attack.
Amazing to see @frogandbucket rammed on a Wednesday night for the awesome Morgan Rees … great atmosphere @jessica2me xx

Ableist assumptions can become reality by creating barriers for disabled people.
It's time to change perspective 👓
📹 "Assume I can. So maybe I will."

Martin Lewis has quite a speech here lamenting how the BBC relegated consumer journalism to a section in The One Show, when such issues affect millions of lives
Definitely think the time has come for a campaign to get @ItsBigZuu presenting Saturday kitchen .. loved it
Absolutely fantastic @BBCBreakfast this morning .. handing control to the former sub postmasters .. so powerful to hear their questions

He's done it! 🙌
Luke Littler has booked his spot in the #WorldDartsChampionship final
So incredibly proud of @DJJillings and everything he has achieved in raising the case for BSL at GCSE … it’s been amazing getting to know you and your mum Daniel .. congratulations.
