Congratulations, Rebecca, and best wishes for your term on FPC!

Yes, but it’s black, or purple, right?

And I can confirm that Josh will be there, as we’re sharing a @firstbus.bsky.social 87 from Colchester Station…

I shall drink a glass of something sparkling in your honour…

Oh, and @rigg.lgbt, you got my first preference…

I may have made the right choices for the wrong reasons, or vice versa. But it’s done anyway.

I really had issues with all of the candidates for a variety of reasons, but finally concluded that I ought to vote only now, on an aeroplane just about to take off, before it leaves on a scheduled ten hour flight which ends after the voting deadline.

Exactly, it gives such a bad impression when you do something like that and I can only hope that the owner of the Cornish business has been really poorly advised and sees the light now.

I’m mystified as to why someone would think this is a good thing to do. I assume they’ll be suing the restaurant in Edinburgh called Sabzi next…

This is, in all honesty, the sort of manifesto which attracts my vote. It talks about what the candidate has achieved in office, and what they hope to achieve going forward, giving me a real basis upon which to make my choice.

Harsh, Shyamali, as our delegations have been pretty diverse in recent years. Real effort has been made to achieve that.

Is it possible that their model stands up reasonably well in low turnout elections but falls when less engaged voters show up at a General Election?

But why am I here? @baronessros.bsky.social is at @suffolksound.bsky.social, recording a show with @robdunger.bsky.social, so I’ve left them to produce a little radio magic.
