Not to be seen on the BBC TV News, doesn’t suit their agenda .

Also not to be seen in the Telegraph, Express, Mail, Sun, etc.

And nowadays not in the Guardian either.

Banning books? Banning culture? What sorts of vandals are these?

The saddest thing is that a lot of voters seem to think 'why not? They're all in it for themselves. I'd do the same same given half a chance'. That's how far we've sunk.

Dr David Bull on Twitter: "Less than three weeks until Britain's midterms. Vote Reform. Get Starmer Out. Reform UK teams hard at work...#TimeForReform"

Britain, like any other Westminster-style Parliamentary democracy, doesn't have "midterms" or anything close to it.

The British right are positively embarrassed to be British and so spend their days wistfully hoping for the time they can proudly claim their new status as serfs of Washington.

Beyond parody!

Okay. But - depending very much where you live and who runs your council, of course, this could be a case of cutting off your nose to spite someone else's face

Sad. But these are LOCAL elections- about who collects your bins, looks after your public spaces, cherishes, or not, your libraries.

Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. 🌻

Wow missed this.
“Norway reached 117% renewable electricity use in 2023, producing more than it consumes and exporting the surplus. “

Sometimes I just despair

In a nutshell. 😊

Voters have just today left to register to vote for the local elections taking place across England on 7 May. Anyone who wants to take part must register before 11.59pm tonight.

Registering takes minutes at gov.uk/register-to-vote. Just need name, address & National Insurance number. Pass it on.

This would be an absolutely vile thing to do. We are so much better than this. Please don’t ever vote for Reform!

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.

First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

In my long life, I've seen it maybe twice or 3 times. It puts everything in perspective! That's properly 'awesome'.

He's a great advertisement for banning MPs second jobs

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

England fans facing hugely inflated prices to get to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for World Cup games The cost of getting the train from New York to the venue, where the Three Lions play Panama in their final group game, will be £111 - nearly 12 times the usual fare.

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:

Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.

I've told my family to stay away.

Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Very sad! But is it bias among selectors, the time / energy consuming nature of the role , fear of the horrible misogyny women in politics have to contend with..or a toxic combination of these which means that women's voices are marginalised?

Makes me wonder why they put up with it

James Bembridge on X: Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.
