A suggested statement for Andy Burnham.
‘The British public decided in the 1930s that they would not tolerate black-shirted militias marching through their streets. They would cherish robust political argument; they would not accept thuggery and intimidation. When Oswald Mosley led his Blackshirts to Cable Street, local people turned them back. A new law – introduced by a Liberal, backed by Labour and carried by a Conservative majority – banned private militias, political uniforms and ‘the use or display of physical force in promoting any political object’. The British people are as determined today as in the 1930s that they will not accept the methods of Mussolini and the Munich Beer Hall. This government will uphold the law and defend the traditions of British democracy’.

I'm guessing everyone is supposed to infer that "OBS" means Observer, so not actually police, despite it being just a tacked-on afterthought on a scrap of paper.

If you're ever in Kent, pop into the quite marvellous Beaney Museum in Canterbury, where they have a load of original props and puppets. I got quite emotional seeing Bagpuss and his friends, along with some Clangers and many more.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Trump is known to prefer these on-the-lawn pre-takeoff interviews because the noise means he can shout responses (sounding strong) and worry less about sounding incoherent, because he can blame it on the noise, and can walk away whenever he likes

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

None of these are keys anyone uses often so they can all be half the size of a normal key. Great idea.
Closeup of the cornrer of a laptop keyboard, showing the cursor keys and page up/down all half the size of normal keys.

Next time Labour is in a jam,they should announce a law that forces online retailers to disclose their delivery company *before* you place an order so you can cancel if you wish. Would avoid sinking feeling I get when notified my “parcel is with Evri”.
