Why what the Tories did in Downing Street can NEVER be forgiven or forgotten, no matter how much they would like it to be. The rules were for everyone… or no one.

@andymhamilton ...and then the drop offs to airports in the middle of the night (because the flights are cheaper). Sometimes to Luton!!!

I'm 55 Daughter is 28 and has left home. 11pm and it's still dad's taxi services.

@john_sour @fslconsult @otboae Those pit heads reminded me of those at Wolstanton Colliery, Staffordshire (similar shapes).

@otboae @fslconsult Another one for you Monkton Hall Colliery near Edinburgh

30 April 2024....on the seemingly bleak future of #ChatterleyWhitfieldColliery ....just over 10 years on and apart from the sterling efforts of the Friends of Chatterley Whitfield and a pretty picture masterplan, what has changed? #MyBackPages

@David__Osland Isn't it strange that the right wingers are always saying they want their country back but they don't make any fuss about the Tories flogging off our essential services and industries to foreign countries and individuals.

Italy owns our railway operators, China our nuclear power stations, Canadian pensioners our water utilities, India our steel industry and now a Czech billionaire is buying Royal Mail. This is what the Tories call 'taking back control'.

James Daly refused to answer what he thought Angela Rayner had done wrong, looks like wasting police time 🤷‍♀️ ( Beth Rigby's incredulity kills me 😂; bless Chris Bryant)

#Ridge: Would you like to apologise to Angela Rayner on behalf of the Tories? Bim Afolami(Tory MP): No... I've got nothing else to add SR: You'd quite a lot to add before? BA: She could have put an end to this SR: So it's Angela Rayner's fault then? BA: Yes #politicshub

@andymhamilton I’ve been predicting that accident rates (and potentially road deaths) will increase due to the poor repair of road surfaces — potholes, debris washing onto roads/uncleared drains, worn away road markings. Never seen roads so bad.

Tragic, I expect there to be more.

Not on here much these days, but will check back periodically. Ditched home broadband some weeks ago (very intermittent and increasingly poor service for an ever increasing cost). Surprisingly finding I’m not missing social media that much — especially all the bots/ads on here!

Mhairi Black: "We rightly condemn the violent acts of Iran, so too must we condemn the the violent acts of Israel... if 100 missiles... constitutes as disproportionate, then so to must Israel's bombardment of Gaza" Rishi Sunak: It's important not to try & draw any equivalence

@MrGeorgeClarke Good read — I enjoy your programmes. Always wanted to be an architect — put off by bad careers advice saying “You need a degree & years of apprenticeship” — implying ambitions above myself. Got 9 O levels, did an eng degree/apprenticeship/career. I’d have been a fine architect

. It might be a bit too personal this one….but for whatever reason it felt like it was time …. RIP DAD x theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

@Feargal_Sharkey @thameswater From the FT comments, sums it up nicely!

So the future of our rivers is now in the hands of Chinese state-owned banks…🤦‍♂️ How could this have ever come to pass❓

So studies have shown #vaping causes cancer too — well there’s a surprise (not). Been telling my kids who vape, that later down the line it will be proven that vaping is just as bad as cigarette smoking (who knows possibly worse?). Why are they allowed to sell unproven products?

Michelle Donelan was Sec of State for Education from July 5th-7th 2022. 35 hours in total. For that she was due a "redundancy" of £16,000+....but didn't take it Stand Up and Fight Sunak fangirl Penny Mordaunt says we should be grateful!!

So, @bbcpm @EvanHD members of the government can libel people to their hearts content knowing that public money will pay the legal fees and any damages? #bbcpm How convenient.

It's #WorldBookDay2024 And very soon, #InJacksFootsteps will be with you 📸 @PhilShallcross ✒️ yours truly

Every year, parliament enacts a pantomime with deadly consequences. A man with a red box (might as well be a red nose) promises to increase people’s prosperity and happiness. He robs the poor, hands more to the rich. Can't rebuild economy on that. leftfootforward.org/2024/03/why-je…
