Libraries are supposed to elevate the soul.
“NOBODY WANTS TO GO TO THE UPDATED LIBRARY WE BUILT, THEY MUST HATE BOOKS NOW” This is the world we have settled for and we let them build. Every space they will make look like it was designed around the style of a sports stadium men’s room.

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated. On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades. After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced. We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

Over the last two days the Lancashire Drone Team has been assisting our colleagues in @manchesterfire and @WYFRS at a large Wildfire near Littleborough. The Drone offers excellent situational awareness for Incident commanders on fire spread, smoke plume and firefighter safety.

Being a European today basically means having a pretty excellent day until around 5 pm when the White House starts posting the dumbest shit you've ever had the misfortune to read. Every. Damn. Day.

Today the drone team were mobilised to a fire involving a wind turbine in Trawden. The Turbine was well alight on our arrival, due to a stiff breeze our large drone was used to monitor the fire and offer situational awareness to the Incident Commander.

We’re aware of some online rumours, to clarify, no flags were harmed during the CCTV installation. The photo shows officers fitting a camera at a local church after vandalism reports. The flag stayed put. Please share to help stop misinformation and keep the facts flying high.
No time to investigate car crime or burglaries though ☠️☠️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #police
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Police have confirmed that they were installing a security camera in response to a Church that had been subject to recent criminal damage, and that the flag was not removed. x.com/cumbriapolice/… Mapping shows that this is a Christian Church, likely Church of England.

Today we published our latest inspection of @CumbriaFire. The service has improved how it identifies risk and how it works with the community, but it still needs to improve its IT system and workforce planning. 🔽 Read more: hmicfrs.justiceinspectorates…
