Since WW2, 19 seats in Westminster have been won with less than 30% of the vote. Ten of those were last year. They'll be a lot more next time.

"There is no place in America for political violence, it's just not how we are." say the same pundits who have spent months both-sidesing increasingly ubiquitous, institutionally driven political violence.

This is how I feel every minute. Then I have to go to work. Then I cannot fucking believe this is happening in our lifetimes. Then I go to the grocery.

We’re being governed by monsters. Just absolute monsters.

I wonder how much of Trump's behaviour is 'normal', but is usually done far more subtly, and far from the public eye.

we could really use a major Hollywood picture about union soldiers being turbo woke pilled

So. A time line of early November 2023 for the events related to the Barton House emergency. Arup were giving engineering advice to Bristol City Council. A joint workshop was held on the 8th of November to discuss the safety concerns.

I got it.

Convicted fraudster George Cottrell, Farage’s right-hand man, has launched a polling company, but we can’t find any staff, media coverage, or much polling data. Is it just a vehicle for dark money? goodlawproject.org/is-the-shady...

In partnership with St Mungos, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol has been activated due to hot weather. This means that there is emergency support available for rough sleepers.

If you see someone sleeping rough in Bristol, and feel safe to do so, encourage them to call 0117 4070330 to speak to the Outreach team. If someone needs urgent medical help, call 999.

I made an objection about money being wasted to protect reputation through the multiple appeals against the ICO enforcement notice.

I'm pretty sure that BCC unlawfully deleted emails.

I've raised a complaint as I think I have had an FOI request unlawfully denied, and then the emails deleted.

Hmm - @david-s.bsky.social The appeal seems to be very narrow, and isn't obviously in the interest of the people of Bristol.....

Codes of Conduct are hard: train "yourself against writing rhetorical questions around engineers", edition.

This is bad for boys, but even worse for girls, who don't feel that the skate park, the fenced pitch or the pump track are 'for them' and so are left with nowhere to go. They say that they hate the 'bedroom culture' but have no way out of it. tiny 🧵

From my youth, this would be slightly more appropriate.

The Bristol Green Party campaigned for "openness and transparency". The Council took a decision in secret to appeal the enforcement notice. While that appeal is in progress, the council doesn't need to implement any changes called for by the notice. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

The Green administration should have set up enquiries on Bristol Energy, SEND spying, the arena, Stepping Up & the Barton House evacuation as a minimum. Instead, they chose not to confront the potential misuse of power at all. See video for refusal to pursue SEND spying. youtu.be/R921fmE_iSQ?...

apt that they dropped this video seemingly on the same day the first person (that I know of) died in of their raids. (i know there've been a number of deaths in detention. but this at least the first i know from injuries in a raid)

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.
