One of my favourite illustrations I did last year, that I'm glad I can finally share... for @arghkid's podcast Proper Manc... it's about the times in Manchester when the buses were orange and the trams were grey... https://t.co/pooP80oEz6

Everyone has the right to feel safe on our streets. We are working hard alongside @gmpolice - they are well resourced to keep us safe and will not tolerate anyone intend in causing disorder. We are a proudly diverse city and there will never be room for racism on our streets.
#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.

@elonmusk @Keir_Starmer I investigate social media at the BBC. I've repeatedly asked you for an interview. You accuse the media of not holding power to account. I want to ask you questions about your site and its role fanning the flames of UK riots. Will you speak to me?@elonmusk
