Not been on X / Twitter in a long time. I hoped things would change but they've got far, far worse.
Today I deleted my account, after joining Twitter nearly 19 years ago. I'm campaigning for local public representatives & organisations to delete any accounts they hold.

The Liberal Democrats now have a majority on Wokingham Council after taking this seat from the Conservatives
Really pleased the Government has listened to Lib Dem calls to extend free school meals to more children - so much more more to do but definitely a step forward www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I am sure @johnpotterld.bsky.social and the Liberal Democrat group there are keeping a very close eye on what Reform are up to on Lancashire County Council
Reform want to run rough-shod over data protection laws that protect residents' personal information. Liberal Democrat County Cllrs in Leicestershire are monitoring Farage's lot to make sure they don't try this nonsense copied from Donald Trump here.
Putin fanboys.
I wonder if Reform's minority administration in Leicestershire will try this nonsense? Flying a flag in solidarity with Ukraine isn't a distraction - unless you are pushing Putin's agenda
Polls close at 10pm. Don't forget that you need ID to vote. Just 25 votes between the Liberal Democrats & Tories in Oadby last time. Every vote counts!
Public meeting St. Paul's Church Oadby LE2 4NX 7pm 14/11/25. Keep Oadby and Wigston out of the city

Final reminder the clocks go forward one hour for the UK tonight.
Just 5 seats that was meant to say - clearly Iโm too angry for numbers this morning.
