@octopus.energy You installed smart meters last October. In March I reported that my smart meters aren't reading.........I am still waiting for resolution. Every time I get some kind of support messaging it takes more than a month for nothing to happen. This is not the customer service you advertise

"A future government could just take us out of the EU again, so we can't rejoin."
We finally know what Brexit is like from lived experience.
How are they ever going to assemble a majority for leaving a second time in the face of actual knowledge?

and errr.... Keir Starmer as well. Holding the 2028 Open at Turnberry - nah that isn't gonna do @teamlabouruk.bsky.social any good at all next time round
100 days on from Trump's inauguration, and following last night's results in Canada, one thing is clear: Licking his boots has consequences.
Watch out Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch

Review | The lesson of J.R.R. Tolkien’s abandoned Lord of the Rings sequel

❌ Elon Musk is amplifying far-right figures, spreading harmful disinformation, and meddling in UK politics. If we stay silent, he wins. But together, we can push back and demand stronger laws to protect our democracy.

Please retweet if you want the Labour government to do its utmost to restore the Freedom of Movement that was robbed from us by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

All these petitioners complaining that Labour haven’t delivered on their promises, so we should have another general election. We were promised during the EU referendum that “no one is threatening our place in the single market”, so should we re-run that vote too?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social listening to the assisted dying discussion with one ear and appreciate some of the concerns being voiced. But it is assisted dying not euthanasia that we are legislating on surely. It is a request from people to end their own life, not to end someone else's. Isn't it?

Last month, NFU president Tom Bradshaw revealed it was their lobbying that blocked Labour’s right to roam plans. This denies millions access to nature while empowering antisocial landowners.
NFU, we’re calling you out—let’s debate access reform openly.
It’s time for change.
