The experience on this platform has declined dramatically over the past 6 months or so, so I rarely comment these days. But what I will say is that blocking Elon Musk and a few others like him who magically appear in my timeline doesn’t half cut down on the nonsense. Try it!
Irony defined
Elon Musk says he doesn’t trust voting machines because they are driven by computers. Yet he is pushing for a future where we all go around in cars literally driven by computers. Sure.
🤷♂️
All the comments here about people stating they are not getting the winter fuel allowance and how they can’t afford basics, and how they were glad they didn’t vote Labour…..yet manage to justify paying Elon Musk to subscribe to X…

When will we learn that dignity in dying must be seen as cornerstone of society.
Funding of palliative and end of life care must be seen as fundamental right.
"We’ve seen the worst financial results for the sector in 20 years, with hospices facing a collective deficit of £77 million" - @tobyhporter, CEO, Hospice UK.
@Hospiscare are cutting beds and services due to insufficient funding. Urgent action is needed.

Fascinating insight into what actually happens when a new MP is elected! Good luck @JBuckleyLabour
🧵What do newly-elected MPs do to get set up in this first week in Parliament? The eagle-eyed among you may have seen new MPs receiving a white envelope from the Returning Officer after their victory was announced. Pictured is @YuanfenYang with hers. It contains a letter....1/
When you go,
Will you send back,
A letter from your new job…
Rees-Mogg no more
Liz Truss no more
Grant Shapps no more
Mordaunt no more
Mercer no more
Keegan no more
Gullis no more
Kawczynski nooooo morrrre
As for Farage becoming a MP, if his performance as a MEP is anything to go by he won’t attend often, will do bugger all for his constituency and will be subject to tighter media controls as a sitting MP once (hopefully) Labour tighten up regulations on second jobs.
I lasted until 3am but as I have a 9am meeting…
So waking up to this made it all worthwhile! Congratulations @JBuckleyLabour 👏👏
A new beginning!
People of Belle Vue. Get out and vote! There was a surprisingly low number of crossed out names at the polling station. @JBuckleyLabour had my vote.
Hopefully today is the day we remove our useless incumbent MP in Shrewsbury and replace with @JBuckleyLabour who will actually work for all the constituents of Shrewsbury.
Use your vote. If you want change then use it tactically.
Today is the day! The sun is shining in Shrewsbury. Whatever you do get out and vote. If you don’t get the result you want, and couldn’t be bothered to vote, then don’t complain. Everyone counts.
Use your vote.

Reform UK plan tax cuts which they say will cost £70bn; however our analysis shows the actual cost will be at least £93bn.
And their funding figures are out by £15bn+
All this means Reform UK have a total unfunded cost of at least £38bn - about two Liz Trusses.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u…
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…
One for you @JBuckleyLabour given that Shrewsbury is home to a significant wine trade and independents like @TannersWines @paso_primero @glouglou_sy1 etc
All these end of term Tory legacy issues!

Comes to something when a road up to a tiny 1300m ski resort cut into a very steep mountain is in far better state than Longden Road in Shrewsbury. Whatever happened to that £150k a year pothole tsar?
How long should it take to get a response from a MP when you ask a specific question about issues that affect business in Shrewsbury? Over a month? Do you want a copy of the letter @JBuckleyLabour ?
