To quote Alan Bennet...
The sky grows dark with the flocks of chickens coming home to roost
BREAKING
Tories waste £100 BILLION of taxpayers' cash in 4 years
Sunak as Chancellor and PM....the crony contracts & duff deals...are equivalent to £1,500 for every single adult and child in the UK.

GREAT NEWS‼️ Mediterranean countries have agreed to #BanBottomTrawling in 400 km2 around the unique deep-sea coral at Cabliers Bank – a great win for marine ecosystems!
Special thanks to @EU_Commission, @Agri_gov_ma, and @mpph_gov_dz.

Many people in the Meon Valley tell me how relieved they are that the boundary changes mean they will not be in @SuellaBraverman's constituency.
They don't like how she stokes fear and division.
Politics doesn't have to be this way - people want politicians with compassion ⬇️

These terrifying figures should shock every political party into action. 1.5m parcels have been distributed by one network of 1300 food banks but there are 1,000s of other food aid providers plus millions of people struggling to afford food not recorded in this data @IFAN_UK

Just look at this. Truro-born @samuelmatavesi7 with a Cornish flag at the Rugby World Cup yesterday. Magnificent.

Shocked to have just got a message that the London regional party happening now at #LabourPartyConference is sponsored by a buy now pay later lender, and its founder was given a platform to argue against the planned regulation.
Have these firms bought influence with every UK political party? @Keir_Starmer are you now anti BNPL regulation?

They keep saying that the USA haven't won a Ryder Cup in Europe for 30 years. Thats nonsense. They won over here in 1993, which is only 8 or 9 years ago.

Such a pleasure to read the citation for @BabsRounsevell today, on a windy Portloe clifftop. A lovely lady who has devoted much of her life to others, well deserved @ChaosGroupUK

"These people need to be kept off the air"
Former PM Gordon Brown responds to the suspension of two GB News presenters and says 'you can't allow people to appear on air and talk about women in that way'.

Please retweet @RishiSunak how dare you appear on Twitter now re pets when myself and all the registered animal charities have been messaging you for 2 years re the pet crisis in the UK?
Why have you waited for people to be hurt to show an interest in pets?
Banning the XL Bully a token gesture when you should be working to stop the online sales of pets, doing more to check who owns a pet and that people research and are responsible before they can own a pet?
If you ban the XL Bully, those owners that are the problem now will turn to the next large breed.
Put a team of REAL experts together, consult with @RSPCA_official on what will really keep pets and people safe. Ban the pet selling sites and people selling pets as if they are inanimate objects.
Pets are falling into the wrong hands and will continue to if you ban the XL Bully.
The government, @RishiSunakm have nor acted in 2 years, since the crisis for pets started after lockdown and are very much at fault here.

I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s been our dream to open a school coffee shop. We’ve always wanted a place for our community to come together, a welcoming space for agencies/groups to work with & help our families & take our offering to another level. There’s still a bit to do but we’re nearly there and it’s so ridiculously exciting. We can’t thank our friends at FCMS and Caffè Nero enough, as without their incredibly kind & generous help, support & funding, this would never have been possible. Strive Fleetwood - coming very soon.

The UK public now regrets Brexit more than at any other point, with a majority wanting Rejoin.
This is according to two separate pollsters: YouGov and Deltapoll - who have both found 51% say they want to rejoin - and that’s *before* removing “don’t know”.
