Cllr John Baker

@JamesCleverly They aren't campaigning against higher council tax at Central Beds Council. Instead, they turn up at council meetings demanding more spending. £3.5m in the September meeting despite CBC set to lose £24m in fairer funding.

Booked an @AvantiWestCoast ticket from Milton Keynes to Manchester this weekend. Forgot to book my bike onboard, so turned to @AvantiWestCoast twitter. Sent a message. Got a response almost immediately. Issue resolved and bike booked in minutes.

@elonmusk Trump is a global embarrassment.

Watch this carefully. Very important.

@cllr_ryan @KevMColl Free Sunday?

As part of our open day, we hope to get some times set for the measured mile around the Caddington Woods estate. Runners wanted! @JBaker_Ind @cllr_ryan

@BBCNews Completely unacceptable behaviour.

Sunday run with my 12 year old son. It was only meant to be 7km... @UKRunChat

Massively impressed with Serenity on @LNRailway's twitter team, who dealt with a customer service problem promptly that the email team failed to sort out over many exchanges/days. Thanks Serenity!

I wonder how @BimAfolami proposes @letstalkcentral fills the £39M black hole left by his Tory colleagues? They proposed planting magic beans; borrowing money to pay for day to day services. Bim says send him a message. Maybe that message is @alistrathern? #GeneralElection2024

Alice manages to pack a massive number of pertinent facts into a feq minutes. You can watch these videos three times and still not take it all in!

So much wonderful history in @10DowningStreet!

@ravbillan Is this your patch? My son often asks about your running streak. It is about 100 days more than his @DoodleMaths streak, and I have told him he will give up before you!

50 years ago today, #Rutland temporarily lost its independence. On 1 April 1974, Leicestershire County Council became responsibly for many local government services. In 1997, @rutlandcouncil took back control.

We build bridges where others burnt them.

@collin_ruth89 You should try an evening talking local council gossip. No bottle required. But you will need a good supply of political chips.

Do you know what a "bottle night" is? Probably not, because my gf and I invented it during a 2023 blizzard in Buffalo, NY. We lock our phones away, turn the TV off... Each grab a bottle of wine, and talk. That's it, we simply talk and enjoy each other's presence. We live together, but it's easy to miss out on "quality time". What do you think? Do you have other methods for enjoying quality time with your partner?

The end of a coffee morning in Woburn Sands today hearing about residents issues over a cuppa & cake 🍰☕️ Rukhsana & I listened to local issues, and Emily talked about national problems. Great that @JBaker_Ind could drop in and help with cross-county concerns.

Twice visited and agree with @history_alice, well worth a visit.
