#TheMayorsBear

The story of the book is that when I was the Buckingham Town Mayor, Lace Hill Primary School invited me to open their new library. I wanted to read the children a book about being a Town Mayor but I could not find one that worked for me.

They’ve raised over £180,000 so far in just a few days. As for the video……I didn’t think it was possible to cringe and laugh at the same time. 😀
Hope is here.

People sharing on social media made the petition impossible to ignore. Through shares and reposts, the call for an inquiry into Russian influence became a national demand.

In my own quiet way, I am trying to start a small revolution by getting youngsters interested in improving where they live - using local councils & politics to do so...

This is absolutely magnificent!

Listen to the rapturous applause as a student does the job our press and media won’t, and holds Reform UK’s Richard Tice to account over his lies RE his connection to ex-REFUK Wales leader Nathan Gill, recently jailed for 10+ yrs for taking Russian bribes as an MEP.

I recall conversations, interviews and debates about the incompetence and law breaking of the government. I also remember Johnson and others vigorously defending themselves and saying what we thought we were seeing we weren’t.
Turns out we were right.
They lied
People died.

This is outrageous from Keir Starmer.

‘Russian links to Reform need investigating’, he says. So why is his government still fighting case now in Grand Chamber of Strasbourg court refusing to have such an investigation into Russian interference ??

The former leader of Reform in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been jailed for 10-and-a-half years after being paid £40,000 to make pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament.
