Makerfield isn't a "historic market town" . It's a constituency. I'm neutral here, but as someone who lives in the constituency, which is in Wigan...all these AI images are a load of rubbish. Makerfield isn't an actual place.
Thanks for your BBC report about your granddad in advance of VJ Day and thanks for his service @SabbiyahPervez
I like the @SkySportsF1 interviews with team members about roles and responsibilities @bernie_collins1 - great, more of this please. Promoting #STEM
I have a Sky account with sports. When I try to watch SkySports+ app on my win PC I get the wrong game streaming (football instead of rugby league). Happened tonight with StH vs Wakefield. Quite a frequent problem. @SkyHelpTeam

Great grid coverage by @bernie_collins1 jd @tedkravitz ahead of the #qatar sprint. This is what we want. More please. Race tech, team roles and responsibilities, not ill informed celebs.
Sorry @premierinn Middlesborough but £130 / night for two single beds stuck together and sheets not big enough to properly cover the mattress isn’t good enough. At that price I expect a properly-made bed. Arriving at 11pm, I’m just going to have to cope with it. Disappointed.
Watching the F1 on @SkySports playlist / catch-up and the replay jumps and stutters and misses out a bit of each lap. It happens a couple of times a minute. Very annoying and hard to follow the action. Unclear how much is missed each time. #sky
A thank you to Wigan Infirmary CAU Ward for wonderful treatment of my Mum these past few weeks and also to the @NWAmbulance service for the wonderful crews who helped her. @WWLNHS
#wigan @NWAmbulance a long wait for the non urgent ambulance transfer to Wigan RAE for Mum, over 11 hours, but the crew were really nice, helpful, courteous and kind.

Those who seek to divide us will never win.
In the face of violence and intimidation, we've seen the best of Britain shine through.

In Wigan, we won’t tolerate people bringing violence and hatred to our streets. This is our community and we are working hard to protect it.
#UPDATE | A message to our communities.
These are challenging times, but we are immensely proud to see the majority of our residents standing together and condemning this unacceptable disorder. Your unwavering support has not gone unnoticed.

The whole country is cheering Keely right now but nowhere more so than at Leigh Harriers.

People are using algorithms to spread lies and hate online - we’re seeing across the UK how this can tear communities apart. 1/2

I’ve written in today’s Times about why we need better tools to tackle viral disinformation and combat the malicious actors seeking to corrupt our public sphere and weaken our democracy. 2/2

The far right and foreign adversaries are using algorithms to push lies and hate into the living rooms of thousands of people across the country, with no way to know where they came from or if they are true.
I spoke to @BBCRadio4 about what’s happening, why it matters, and what we should do to stop it.
