@tugroupoflabmps.bsky.social 2nd policy- a £2 fixed parking fee for out of town shopping centres over a certain capacity to fund high street renovations. Why should you pay nothing at Bicester Village and a fortune to park in Bicester to access the high street?

@tugroupoflabmps.bsky.social hey folks l’ve been sitting on a couple of decent revenue raising policies - please consider these? 1. Motorway advertising- nothing within a mile of junctions but a good revenue stream- every lorry on the road is a massive advertising hoarding anyway.

Elvis Costello’s latest retrospective on how My Aim is True came about is a marvellous journey through the crafting of songs! There are 104 tracks on the album!!!! I thought Sandinista was long!!

Looking forward to Sunderland being awarded the 2014 League Cup as Man City cheated. If they hadn’t paid Vincent Kompany so much he would never have caught Fabio Borini and we would have been 2-0 up. #SAFC

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

Labour's Stella Creasy has launched an amendment to introduce a £100,000 cap on political donations. Now the Q is whether Andy Burnham will back it Olly Buston of Clean Up Westminster: “If your MP doesn’t back Stella’s amendment then they are basically saying they think politics should be for sale"

Amazing. At age 20, Lionel Messi did a UNICEF Barcelona photo shoot for a calendar, of him giving a baby a bath. That baby was Lamine Yamal. It’s his first World Cup, and Messi’s last. They’ll play against each other. What a crazy story.
