Another on my why-is-no-one&talking-about-this list!
Most people think that money councils set aside for children's social care is spent on...children's social care?
But lots of it is going to profiteering venture capitalists!

Another perk of the trip is you get to have a portrait like this taken, with your nearest and dearest. He looks oddly helpless there in the middle of it all.

Yes, an interesting message from him alright. Allow me to post my nice pic of Casement's statue, taken on an early morning run a couple of years ago.

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

Trafford budget: £12m EFS & 7.5%ct⬆️

"A #Labour government that lived up to its name would be working day and night to tackle this inequality."

Why did @traffordlabour.bsky.social not even attempt to respond to @greenparty.org.uk criticisms? No one from Labour defended their own government!

Asusual, Greens are leading on the way, having the difficult conversations and proposing serious policies that will save people's lives and reduce crime.

Ah here now, you should take the criticism on the chin, specifically the chin in the bottom left NFT. That looks like it could handle it.

All that matters is the running. The reasons will come. Your footnote aligns well with one of mantras that keeps me going. "Don't stop now, because soon you'll be stopped for good."

People in positions of power and influence should mind what they say. Words carry meaning and affect how people behave. In a country where 14 cyclists were killed on the roads last year, it's not right for a judge to call cyclists a "nightmare". He should withdraw the remark.
