I'm deeply disappointed by Reform-led Barnsley Council pulling the plug on £1.8 million for much needed work on the Penistone Paramount Cinema. I've launched a petition calling on Reform to reverse this decision. Sign the petition on my website here: www.marietidball.com/campaigns/sa...
Save Penistone Paramount
Penistone Paramount is a treasured community asset, and Barnsley Council should reverse their decision to shelve this project.

Starting a possible 5-set Grand Slam quarterfinal after 11 pm is silly. It's not special or edgy because it's New York City. It's just dumb madness.
Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now
Listening to #PamShriver call this #Michelsen #Tiafoe match and her insights are a JOY. #USOpen #Tennis
These gambling-sponsored push notifications, which have been thrusted at tennis fans for days now, are deeply trashy work by the U.S. Open. They historically wouldn’t have credentialed reporters if it was our websites pushing this stuff.
Three senior Reform figures were involved in those Channel 4 revelations we saw last night. Two have been kicked out. The third is Nigel Farage. Farage should be suspended while this matter is investigated. He has very serious questions to answer.
A new government sets its direction early. I've just signed European Movement UK's petition asking Andy Burnham to drop the red lines on Europe and set out a real plan for the UK's European future. Add your name: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/5_asks_for_a...
Our 5 Asks for Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham must seize the moment to build a bold, forward-looking agenda for his administration to lead the UK towards a new European future.

My Bluesky feed right now. "BIG news coming out of Department of Work and Pensions. But for who Chris Kamara?"
Andrew Castle 'I'll never forget Tim Henman shooting up when Andy Murray won in 2013'. Sounds like he took it hard. #Wimbledon #JannikSinner #ATP #Tennis
Andrew Castle offering nothing in terms of analysis of Sinner; it's all about Novak to him.
You honestly don't have to show me what Twitter's saying. That's why I'm here and not there.
My teenage son is hilarious. Listening to the tennis on 5 live and he pipes up "Oh Foki v Fuci!" #Tennis #Wimbledon
As a 40-something mum I am in awe. She's a champion and a trailblazer. But I REALLY want Maya to win. It could transform her. It won't transform Serena. #Wimbledon #Tennis #TeamRedhead
Looks like I underestimated Jasmine Paolini #Wimbledon #Tennis
Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.
Utterly in my head over the Starmer drama. Am I disappointed in him as a leader. Yes. Do I think the floated alternatives will be better? No. Do I want change? Yes. Do I think it unwise to change leadership now? Also, yes. Round and round in my head it goes.
So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?
