The Prime Minister claims he wants to speed up social care reform, but he keeps slowing down.
Waiting until 2036 to fix social care isn’t good enough.

White smoke signals election of new Roman Catholic pope
White smoke signals election of new Roman Catholic pope
Bells of St Peter’s ring out and thousands of pilgrims and tourists applaud selection of Francis’s successor
Thick white smoke billowed from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, signalling to the world that the Roman Catholic church has a new pope.
The smoke was met with loud applause from the thousands of pilgrims and tourists waiting in St Peter’s Square. It means that one of the 133 cardinals inside the chapel has obtained the necessary two-thirds majority required to win the conclave, the secretive centuries-old ritual of electing a new pontiff.

Two wins for the Jisc cyber team at last night's Security Excellence Awards! Winning both CISO and security team of the year, the judges remarked "exceptional leadership defending not just one organisation, but the entire academic sector, while building a security community."

Proud of our Lib Dem group for becoming the largest party on Gloucestershire County Council, moving the Conservatives into a distant fourth 🔶
But our opposition is now Reform. With the Tories and Labour moving ever rightward, the Lib Dems are the only answer to Reform's politics of hate + division.

We know the threat Reform poses – to our communities, our democracy and our precious liberal values. We know where their divisive, destructive brand of politics could lead.
Other parties can't or won't stand up to them. It's up to us to be the antidote to Reform's hate and division.

Wonderful news 🧡and I know Cheltenham has been adding to that fab stat 😃 #LibDemsWinningHere 😍
🎉🎉🎉 So far this year, Lib Dems have spoken with more than double the number of voters on the doors/phones than this time last year. And that's despite it being much colder! Many thanks to everyone who has canvassed and I hope it's been warm gloves all around.

Just did a quick google for the term #bleet - turns out "A bleet is the marriage of a blog post and a tweet, resulting in an opportunity to express oneself in 420 characters or less" - So perhaps my random guess is right.... 😀
