Beyond vindicating to see this, I’ve been talking about this ‘charity’ in Bristol harassing people for months
🚨I went undercover at this knife crime ‘charity’ where I was told:
‘If someone gave £1,000, you would keep £576, so there's this opportunity to earn as much as you want.’
‘In one day you can make £300, £400 or £500, it's possible.'

Always wild when impartial journalists are accused of bias for quite literally reporting on publicly available information
Not quite sure how this happened today but this tweet, which has had a deluge of responses, has seen me accused of being the worst anti-Green and their biggest champion. I just work here (not there).

Bristol is so easily sterotyped, and it’s always interesting when journalists not from the area try to write about it in a generalised way
Stick with this bcos if you get past the ‘Bohemian Bristol’ headline & if you’ve got:
“rioted over opening of a Tesco”
“The Canteen”
“diverse, young population” &
“speaking to local people”
on your card, then you win Guardian Article About Bristol Bingo!

If you lost your sleep/sanity over your A levels trying to get into uni, this just feels startling and undermining
Overseas students can buy their way on to highly competitive courses at leading Russell Group universities with as little as a handful of C grades at GCSE. The same courses require British students to have A or A* at A-level.

HUGE NEWS
🔴 NORTH EAST SOMERSET & HANHAM: former MP & current West of England mayor Dan Norris, who lost his Westminster seat to Jacob Rees-Mogg in 2010, was tonight, 14 years on, picked by the local Labour Party for a rematch. It could conceivably be the big moment of 2024/25 election.

The tradition takes place in Vale Street in the Totterdown area of Bristol.
People lined the street to watch the contest as the hard boiled eggs were thrown down the hill,…

Fascinating to watch Tory regional mayor candidates distance themselves, visually and verbally, from the national party
Today in Walsall, I announced the most comprehensive & ambitious plan the West Midlands has ever seen.
Now it needs delivering.
It is more important than ever that the West Midlands has a leader who can be trusted to get it right - and at the right price.
