MISSING | Have you seen 15-year-old Darcie Weightman from Netherton?
Darcie was last seen leaving her home address in the vicinity of Dunnings Bridge Road at around 3pm yesterday, Monday 2 November. It is believed she was last seen at around 10.10pm in the area of Sir Thomas Street in Liverpool city centre.
Extensive enquiries are being carried out to find her.
She is described as 5ft 2in tall, of medium build, and should-length brown hair with blonde streaks.
Darcie was last seen wearing a brown tracksuit, cream puffer coat and brown UGG sliders.
She is known to frequent Liverpool city centre and West Derby areas.
You can also pass on any sightings via our form: orlo.uk/FWMfv or any other information to @MerPolCC or 101.
Sounds familiar.
I've looked at exit polling data from across the country, and it looks to me like Democrats are going to have a very good night.
However, based on my conversations with voters, it's not necessarily an endorsement of Democrats but rather a condemnation of Republicans. #Elections2026 🗳
People seem to afford the John Lewis Christmas advert a level of significance that I'm not sure it deserves.

Giving countless millions to the Third World while boasting that you're knocking tuppence a jar off gherkins for Brits sounds a *bit* like a recipe for trouble

🐕Meet Benji, a gorgeous 9 year.old Yellow #Labrador who, on the whole, is a fantastic lad & great fun to be around🐕
📖PLEASE READ BENJI'S PROFILE VERY CAREFULLY📖
Benji is everything you would expect from a Lab - goofy, playful, affectionate & loyal, with a lovely character that is very easy to fall in love with BUT....
‼️🏡Benji does, however, have some specific behavioural needs, so we are looking for a particular type of home where these can be understood & managed, allowing him to settle, feel secure & truly thrive🏡‼️
⚠️Benji can display some low-level resource guarding, usually around high-value items. This is something that can be managed & redirected with distraction but his new family will need to be experienced, confident & understanding of his needs⚠️
🏡❌️🐕❌️🏡Benji must be the only dog in the home. Sharing his home with another dog gives him something else to guard against. Being an only dog will help reduce the opportunity for this behaviour🏡❌️🐕❌️🏡
✅️🐕🦺🌳He is dog-friendly. Benj mixes well with other dogs & happily enjoys walks alongside them🌳🐕🦺✅️
🏡❌️🚸❌️🏡He will also need an adult-only home. Benji is loving towards children when he meets them but sharing his living space with children would increase the potential for his guarding behaviour🏡❌️🚸❌️🏡
🏡His adopters will also need to understand that the transition into a new home can be stressful & his behaviour may temporarily become more pronounced before improving as he settles, learns to trust his new people & feels secure
🏡In a home with patience, consistency, understanding & plenty of love, we truly believe Benji can blossom
🏡We aren't looking for a perfect home, we're looking for his person. Someone who will see the lovely dog underneath the behaviours & give him the time & security he needs to succeed
We appreciate that this may sound like a lot to ask, but Benji really is a wonderful dog. Beneath these behaviours is a goofy, loving & loyal Labrador who has so much to offer the right person
🏡If you think you can offer Benji the right home, please complete the application form by following the link below👇

I’ve never told any trans person what they ‘should be.’ As far as I’m concerned, trans people can call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. What trans people aren’t entitled to is universal agreement that they’ve changed sex, acclaim for their embodiment of sex stereotypes, the reconfiguration of laws around an objective untruth or women’s surrender of their sex-based rights.

If only Tusk had grabbed power, immediately reduced bus fares and made a Tik-Tok about Scampi Fries the whole coup thing could have been done and dusted last night.

456 PATIENTS DIED
This is one of the biggest medical scandals in British history and there is a decent chance you have never heard of it.
Between 1988 and 2000, patients admitted to Gosport War Memorial Hospital in Hampshire for things like hip fractures and chest infections were routinely put on syringe drivers pumping a steady stream of diamorphine, a powerful opioid. Many were not in pain. Most died within days of being hooked up.
Nurses noticed straight away. In 1988, staff on the Redclyffe Annexe told their managers something was badly wrong. They told their union, the Royal College of Nursing. They kept raising it for years. Management's response was to tell them to stop making waves.
The doctor overseeing the prescribing was Dr Jane Barton. In 2010 the General Medical Council @gmcuk found her guilty of serious professional misconduct in the care of 12 patients. She was not struck off. She retired instead, presumably somewhere with no syringe drivers.
3 separate police investigations by Hampshire Constabulary went absolutely nowhere across 3 decades. Zero prosecutions. Grieving families asking why their relatives died 5 days after routine surgery were treated as the problem.
Then in 2018, after a 4 year inquiry costing 14 million pounds, the Gosport Independent Panel confirmed what those nurses said in 1988.
456 patients died after being given opioids with no medical justification. The panel said probably 200 more died the same way, but their records had gone missing, because of course they had.
Kent Police @kent_police then launched Operation Magenta, reviewing over 750 patient records, taking 1200 witness statements and eventually naming 24 suspects. In November 2025, 7 years into that investigation and 37 years after the first nurse spoke up, police told the families of 101 patients there would be no charges. Their cases did not meet the evidential test. The rest remain under review, with the Crown Prosecution Service @CPSUK holding the final say on any charges, whenever that call finally comes.
So here is where things stand. A regulator confirmed the misconduct. A panel confirmed the cover-up. Nurses were proven right 30 years after the fact. And to this date, not one person has been prosecuted for any of the 456 deaths.
If you raise a concern about patient safety and get ignored for 3 decades, congratulations, you were right all along. Doesn't bring anyone back though.
