As the bombs drop in the Middle East, I heard some heart-breaking stories from Iranian expats in Manchester this afternoon...
The defendants say they didn't realise it was police and were acting in self-defence. Here is my round-up from court todayπ
The jury trying two brothers accused of attacking armed police at Manchester Airport were shown some distressing body-cam footage today of a woman PC sobbing after she was punched in the face
The jurors were shown graphic footage which captured one officer suffering a broken nose while another was captured kicking one of the accused in the head after he had suffered a series of blows to his head
Here's my round-up of the evidence we heard today in the trial of two brothers accused of attacking armed police at Manchester Airportπ
This is one of the most bizarre stories I've read all year...
Lots of chatter about a lack of political judgment here but, honestly, I'm not sure Dougie Joyce has done much wrong π
It's been, erm, a crap season all round at Old Trafford, what with all the mouse droppings and shite footie
*gets coat
What a joy it was to meet this guy, Mark Welch, who like so many in the NHS saved life and limb when the bomb went off at Manchester Arena eight years ago todayπ
This does seem less than welcoming if you're among the travelling Reds tonight
Or they'll be arrested if they do
Looks like at least 13 of Man Utd's handiest scrappers (allegedly) won't be going to the derby on Sunday
Which is a shame because it's one my favourite words...
My news editor absolutely insists I shouldn't use the word 'trousered' when writing stories about the rising pay of top earners in GMP
Is it a co-incidence that GMP was in crisis in 2020 when one fairly routine 999 call ended in lives ruined? I'm not sure it is

I could imagine doing 117mph to get away from Ikea, but not never to get to it. Some folk really do love their flatpack furniture

Dispersals orders are all the rage in GMP at the moment - not everyone is a fan though. The competing arguments are having a right old tussle atm...

The sense of grievance felt by Paddy Doherty, Tommy Joyce and other members of the Traveller communities was palpable today
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...
Leaders from those Traveller communities have been invited to talks with GMP next week
For Traveller communities at least, the rank or role makes no difference and BOTH have questions to answer
GMP bosses are standing by the decisions which led to Traveller children being turned away last weekend. Some of the cops on the ground who did the turning away, however, may well have some explaining to do
