I think we should cancel the MP's ridiculous final salary Pensions, a ripoff that we can't afford.

We will give them the pittance they put in back, and tell them just before we do it, so we told them in advance.

Fine for the WASPI women, fine for them I say.

Another picture taken today showing flooding where the Teme joins the Severn in Worcester. The A4440 runs across the middle of the picture. That's a lot of water! @davethroup.bsky.social @worcswt.bsky.social

Worcester and the racecourse seen today from 2000 feet. I'd say the going was "soft"! @davethroup.bsky.social @worcswt.bsky.social

Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

A group of senior economists have suggested a goal of up to $1tn a year by 2030 and $1.3tn by 2035 to tackle global climate change...but, world banks already lend and subsidise projects directly linked to ecosystem and wildlife destruction to the tune of 4-6 trillion dollars per annum. Go figure....

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else.

Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits.

I wonder if they are related?

Flooding on the River Arrow a few weeks ago, Leominster in the left distance. I expect we’ll be seeing more of this!
