@LBC @mrjamesob It might be argued that the only gaslighting here is the attempt to tar the entire Royal Family with the same brush. Should the allegations made against Prince Andrew be applied to the entire institution, or is this just a predictable perspective for @mrjamesob ?

This has to be right up there as one of the most brain-dead attempts to generate political controversy we’ve ever seen. Harry Doyle (Lab Councillor) take a bow. You earned it.

Lib Dems being Lib Dems. They say what you want to hear, but when they slip up, you find out they don’t really mean it. Cllr Cashman isn’t interested in supporting traders or Liverpool’s market offer, he’s only interested in himself.

@ta_mills It would be interesting to see what the response would be from yourself, and indeed the wider Twitter/Xsphere if the event started with ‘how do you solve a problem like the BBC?’, perhaps with @Nigel_Farage as a guest speaker.

In England’s Northwest, one city blooms while another withers on the vine. Manchester reaches for the skies while Liverpool stares at its navel. A cancerous rot is eating away at my city’s self-esteem. I call it Northwesternism. #northwesternism #Liverpool
