@EpsomHub great guided walk of the #hogsmill from the countryside team in Epsom and Ewell BC

#newsnight - impartial summary of Andy Burnham - no shocking introduction completely biased

A protest vote can feel powerful - but it doesn’t always have the impact people expect. In many elections, votes don’t just reflect preference, they determine results. Sometimes a protest vote can unintentionally split support and help deliver an outcome further away from what was intended. That’s why it’s worth thinking not just about what you’re voting against, but what your vote might actually help deliver on the day.

The Save ‘are’ Women and Kids brigade here in Epsom not only identifying a Women’s Refuge, but then attacking it… because a rumour went round two weeks ago that a migrant might live there Peak shithousery… standard

@c4news - Welsh Hustings was mainly the men shouting over each other - we heard very little of what you were trying to say

There are wars going on impacting on all of our lives in many ways and @BBCNews headline is a sacked presenter without informing of the detail.

@BBCNews - sectioned is not a helpful term detained under the Mental Health Act is more appropriate. Many people are detained for their own safety and are no threat to anyone other than themselves.

@newsnight #Epsteinsurvivors a difficult watch with real bravery in speaking out and a failure of real investigation and not all suspected perpetrators being held to account

In my first year as an MP I tried to expand take up of free school meals to save low income households £500 per child. Today's vote is making it a reality for half a million more children

As a former Wing Commander, I can tell you, our brave RAF pilots are not just “hanging around” when they put their lives at risk to save others. The words you’re looking for @KemiBadenoch are ‘Thank you’ Serious times require serious politicians and you’ve just failed the test.

What happens when Reform actually runs councils… after Gorton by election last week where they were rejected despite all their bravado about winning seat:

"The death of Heather Preen: how an eight-year-old lost her life amid the UK sewage crisis." Dirty Business: The Filthy Truth About England’s Water Companies airs next week, Channel 4, Feb 23rd at 9pm. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

I trust @CQCProf are directing their resources to challenge this and ensuring it’s not a punitive measure to manage complaints and silence parents expressing concerns

@itvnews - a shocking report of contact restrictions for young people in supported housing removed from their families

@EmmaforWycombe - great interview and thank you

Incredible and outrageous. Incredibly this rare, ancient 21 mile long chalk stream is officially a road. Outrageously it’s being used for 4x4 fun - destroying nature in the process. In the days of horses and carts it was a road for good reason, that was a long time ago - government needs to urgently intervene. Allow this stream to be a stream - and a great nature habitat. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@bbcquestiontime student nurses used to get a bursary and spend much of their training working on the wards. Please move to an apprenticeship model. We learnt, we worked, we didn’t get into debt

Incredibly proud to be a part of the administration to pass the last ever budget in the life of Runnymede Borough Council. A solid, balanced budget, putting local people first. My thanks to Councillor Robert King for his leadership and efforts in the preparation of this budget.

Met Health Scretary Wes Streeting who cited my role in government decision to allow all men with prostate cancer access lifesaving drug abiraterone via @NHSuk which will help 1000s; my late dad had this Huge thanks @ProstateUK & to tireless lobbying of Ealing's Peter Treadgold
