Another case of Reform saying one thing then doing the other:

A Reform-led council is planning to double council tax on second homes six months after party leader Nigel Farage denounced such policies as “madness” and “extortion”

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

This is what roadside verges should look like in April. These are not weeds - they are wildflowers essential to the survival of early Spring bees.

Happy St Tiburtius Day! The day when you traditionally hear the first cuckoo. It's said that "the cuckoo sings from St Tiburtius Day (April 14) to St John's Day (June 24)". This is Cuckoo Lane at Burton-in-Kendal #Cumbria #cuckoo

There’s a corrupt bargain in the offing. Chunks of E Europe for Taiwan S China Sea and Panama & more

Some will reluctantly accept it because it appears to avoid war. But it actually cements war itself at the heart of our international system. All the suffering & lessons of the 20th C forgotten
Its worth noting that while people now understand that Trump is really pro Putin/Russia, they have yet to grasp that he is also pro Xi/China. The anti-China stuff is as false as the tough on Russia stance people were saying he would take.

It's going to be irrelevant soon. The main thing is to spread the message as far and wide as possible that BlueSky is the new (old / original) Twitter. The concept of Twitter, its usefulness, its place in the world is established. There's a need for it. People just need to know it's called BlueSky.

Agree.

Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter.

The new Twitter’s name is Bluesky.

• maternity & paternity rights
• pension provision
• holiday & sickness entitlements

TODAY IS #HumanRightsDay

Let’s remember Human Rights are universal & non- negotiable.

If we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR
