. @Issaamro who featured in The Settlers has posted videos of his latest harassment by settlers and soldiers. Our team has been in regular contact with him since the documentary and over the last 24 hours. We are continuing to monitor the situation.
The soldiers raided my house today, they wanted to revenge from me for participating in the @BBC documentary “ the settlers” , after the army left the settlers raided my house, they injured one activist and cut the tree, they stole tools and the garbage containers.
The Israeli police officer came to threaten me not to file a complaint if so I will be arrested for trying to push the settlers outside my house. It is

I don’t remember Cheltenham festival being mentioned at all for much of my life. It was niche for those interested. Until covid. Now it seems to be everywhere - I don’t think it’s a good thing. Gambling has become ubiquitous.
The decision to move out of OT is the right one. feel that this is another statement about the way the women’s team is viewed by the club. The silence is loud. A rationalised OT would have made a great women’s stadium.
Standing on the shoulders of giants.

ALT Sir Alex Ferguson: "Old Trafford holds so many special memories for me personally, but we must be brave and seize this opportunity to build a new home, fit for the future, where new history can be made."
No photo. But pretty cool seeing HS2 supports and scale of construction as it gets ready to cross m6 toll. We need it up here.
@BritishCycling great day of racing but as an event it could be a lot better. F&B is really poor and the camera 📷 policy is bizarre. Rider news, and information- poor. As an event: feels really amateurish. Sad considering the riding we saw was some of the greatest. 🧵
Finally rider information; why there isn’t a dedicated website or app with live information- that is promoted - who is in the heats. Who is riding; The schedule; searchable results. Felt like I was in a special position with even simple info. This felt like easy win to engage.
I used to go to school on the trams on the right. Could see illumination trams from bedroom window. Sometimes change hurts.
Shocked to hear about the sudden and unexpected end to heritage tram operation in Blackpool.
They are such a huge part of Blackpool’s identity, and a major tourist attraction. Removing this from a town that is already struggling is an appalling move.
ALT Heritage trams on Blackpool promenade. One is a double decker Balloon tram, the other is a single decker tram dressed up in lights to look like a boat for the Illuminations. (Visit Lancashire)
Celebrating the wins are important- this scheme makes a huge difference to the way I cycle with my little one. Well done everyone.
Did you know that bollards and planters can make people’s lives better?
We partnered with @s4plb to celebrate Levenshulme and Burnage's brilliant active neighbourhood scheme, and to showcase some of the positive effects it's had on local residents and people travelling through.

Paris literally did this.
This is very sad.
Smithfield Market set to close after almost 800 years
City of London have ditched plans to relocate it to Dagenham.
They want to use the old site for “mixed use cultural development”, whatever that means.
France would never do this

Urgh. a sound premise lost in nostalgia.Trams were removed in the 50s because they ran in vehicle lanes and would often breakdown.Jamming up the street. Modern teams reallocate streets or use former railways. Concentrating on corbusier misses the reason and what makes new work.
In other places you just got warehouses and out of town retail in enterprise zones. If anything. Not a magic bullet.
That’s a photo of the Blackpool tramway from Bispham with the Norbreck Castle in the background where I once worked as waiter and later as Porter. Oh yeah, I’ve jumped over. Aim to wind this down.
Joe showed me the ropes at Salford when I first started- giving me the tour and over the next year; unique histories of the city. Great way to remember him. There’s a project that Joe started that I’d love to see completed one day. For another day.
Very pleased that @derivesalford & @SalfordCouncil have recognised Joe Martin with a street named after him in Weaste.
Joe was a dedicated conservation officer who lived & breathed the Spirit of Salford, working hard to preserve our environment & heritage
