French toast for Easter breakfast and then Church. I’m the assisting minister at the first service. The choir we are singing vine is the glory and then I change and head out to my other Church.

@findmypast My great great grandparents Garret Welsh and Mary Welsh nee Coppinger left Castlehaven near Skibereen in the late 1840s and appear in the 1851 census Bridgend. Times were tough.

If you have Irish roots, we'd love to know the story of your ancestors who lived during the Great Irish Famine - did they stay in Ireland or emigrate? ❤️

The Labour Government have achieved, or are on course to achieve, 73 of their 95 manifesto pledges in just 21 months.
Thats some kind of impressive achievement.

@Johnny__Luk @Shazna_Muzammil @MKConservatives These elections in Milton Keynes are going to be the least predictable of any that have previously happened. New wards and all three of the usual parties performing terribly in national polling and Reform not doing significantly better. The results should be very interesting.

An absolutely fantastic message from our Group Leader @Shazna_Muzammil - on May 7th we can turn Milton Keynes blue. @MKConservatives
Shazna Muzammil@Shazna_Muzammil
🚀 We’ve challenged. We’ve pushed. We’ve been ignored — just like residents. This local election is your chance to change how Milton Keynes is run. Our plan is based around a simple ethos: Put Residents First. Fix the basics. Protect what makes MK special. Stop the waste and make MK work for everyone again. On 7 May — vote Conservative. 🎥 Manifesto launch below 😀👇🏽 @MKConservatives @CCACllrs @CWOSouthEast @Women2Win @Conservatives

@royalmusing Most new cars don’t have a cd player any more. It’s all Bluetooth connections to your phone or iPod

I’m definitely not a pop culture person I have no idea who Michael B Johnson is, but congrats on the Oscar. had never heard of the movie until the nominations. Still angry after nearly 5 years that my car doesn’t have a CD player. Just AM FM radio.

@soniasodha @PeterStefanovi2 It already happens with district judges in magistrates courts

It's the first Commons debate on the government's proposals to restrict jury trial today. I've written about why they are so ill-conceived - and what they tell us about Keir Starmer.

@piersmorgan @grok Show the real photo to see how it’s been manipulated
English
No, @grok - it's not real. It's been deliberately manipulated from a real photo to create a false impression.

This is my list from 2011. Obviously rather out of date since then.

🇬🇧 Nigel Farage unveils Reform UK’s new ‘shadow cabinet’
So much for the ‘one-man band’.
Richard Tice → Business, Trade & Energy
Robert Jenrick → Economy
Suella Braverman → Education, Skills & Equality
Zia Yusuf → Home Affairs & Justice
Thoughts on the appointments?

Claims that 75% of England’s mayors are Muslim have gone viral online.
We could only find evidence that three of the country’s 27 directly elected mayors are Muslim, and there isn’t an official complete list of all the civic mayors.

@piersmorgan Banish him? From where and where to? This isn’t medieval Britain. He doesn’t have the power.

After today’s revelations that Andrew leaked confidential trade envoy secrets to Epstein, King Charles should order him to be interviewed by UK police about that, and by US investigators about wider Epstein scandal.
If Andrew refuses, banish him.

@UKLabour It would only take 4 to have switched votes from reform to Labour. -4 for reform and +4 for Labour would have meant Labour winning by one vote.

Gorton and Denton is a straight fight: Labour or Reform.
