Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Nice to see that the progression artwork at Ashley Down station, designed by the Lockley’s neighbourhood trust, and members of the first Muslim Scout group, has Ben been replaced after it was vandalised. We’ve been working with officers to get this done as quickly as possible.

Im proud to be English and even prouder to be British. But these flags right now are not showing patriotism- they are a show to intimidate our communities and cause division. If youre actually patriotic... Come and help make this country better. The organisations below (continued....)

Has anyone else had a large influx of new followers over the last few days? I can’t see it being linked to anything I’ve posted so I’m assuming it’s a lot of X refugees who have finally left the platform?

Hot take: Censoring child abuse is actually a good thing.
The richest individual on Earth should not own the keys to the largest disinformation machine on the planet.
It's not censorship to switch X off. It's common sense.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Those who are blind to history are doomed to repeat it. Those who are blind to current atrocities happening in countries we’re apparently allied with, and instead want to emulate it, are a fking disgrace.
A reminder that Kemi Badenoch wants to create a UK “Removals Force” explicitly modelled on ICE

So proud of Bristol's Green councillors delivering more affordable homes that Bristolians desperately need - Bristol is now the best council outside of London for building affordable homes. More to do but this is a brilliant start.

Bristol smashed affordable homes records in 2025
In the first half of the year, 286 affordable homes were completed - 54 of which were built by the council

Trump is a few days away from completing the first year of his four year term. Trump has devastated the economy, fired thousands of competent federal workers, keeps failing to release all the Epstein files, illegally invaded Venezuela, and had the longest government shutdown in our history! 😒

That's a good question. I'd say it's mostly because of their words and actions.
Genuine question why are Starmer & Reeves SO unpopular?

Cllr Crawford admiring the new EV chargers on Springfield Ave in our ward. Very few houses have driveways in our ward so this creates another incentive for people to switch to EVs, discouraging people from getting rid of front gardens.
