I have real sympathy for councillors facing stretched budgets and a wholesale reorganisation imposed from Westminster without consent.

What I have no sympathy for is a government denying communities their democratic voice.

BBC Question Time is promoting far-right Islamophobe and Putin-loving traitor; Nigel Farage, yet again.
Be under no illusions.
This is an establishment plot to make Reform UK PLC rise in popularity, and the #BBC is crucial to that effort.

Trumps Brown Shirts might not celebrate it, but we do here on Blue Sky.

I’m betting those guys aren’t here, at least I hope so.

Wes Streeting's plan for an NHS hospital league table will only add unnecessary stress to staff and distract from helping people.

What the NHS needs is proper funding, well-paid and valued staff and an end to privatisation.

20 Labour Councillors in Nottinghamshire have just quit Labour and formed a new grouping.

Labour lose control of the council to the Broxtowe Independents.

They cite Rachel Reeves Austerity & Starmer’s attack on Local Democracy as their two main reasons.
