Great to have lots of people talking about a more sustainable future for Sneinton Market at NTU Nottingham Climate Assembly tonight

The BBC is Foxes News. Husband enjoying every minute of extensive coverage in a very partisan manner, no sympathy and pointing out it can get worse, also next season Mansfield Town should get the same coverage as Leicester City, and obviously both Nottingham teams more. I’m not holding my breath!

Yesterday a lovely moment as I talked with a selected participant for Nottingham Climate Assembly., who is really looking forward to 10th May. His son had attended a mini-assembly we ran 2 years ago & had a big impact on him, writing to his MP, getting involved in environmental activities.

Very excited to be messaging selected participants in Nottingham Climate Assembly and confirming they are still up for it!

BBC News transmitting Fox News into my living room. WTF am I paying my TV license for? It’s scandalous

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake.. Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted. Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.

Bad night for Nige

Great news from Hungary 🥂🍾. Might actually think about an Interrail trip to Budapest next year!

Never had more blossom on the cherry 🍒 tree. Looking forward to eating the left-overs from the 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ raids later in the year

Good outing to @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social to see The Tiger Who Came to Tea yesterday, Lolly impressed whisper in my ear “that’s magic” and she’s really looking forward to the Panto!

Royal Mail privatisation scandal Today price of 1st class mail rises to £1.80 - an increase of 10p; 2nd class, by 4p to 91p. When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Royal Mail hasn't met letter delivery targets, but price still rises. Regulators do what?

Couldn’t agree more, and it’s relentless

I realise there are people who get excited about space exploration, however, the aims are now clearly about colonisation & exploitation, none of which will end well. Priority should be to solve the massive problems here. I’m sorry but fuck Artemis I’m sick of it!

I have never seen such a shocking ITV Central News, was it recorded yesterday? Stupid report about tourism in Matlock Bath, random stuff about transport & Nottingham tram but no mention of Transport Minister visit and praise for Nottingham’s integrated system today. Rubbish!

No no no no no! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BBC News saying “Trump is preparing to address the nation”, my cue to turn off - it’s not our nation, we don’t have a mad, dangerous president and, frankly, I’m sick of having him rammed down my throat!

Very very bad decision by the Govt. The idea should be binned forthwith...

Disgusted that King Charles is going to go to the USA for this “state visit”. Not in my name, it’s embarrassing

The Government is considering scrapping the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. #PalantirOUT

#R4Today saying the quiet part out loud - NASA's latest mission is to facilitate exploitation of the moon. We can't be trusted to look after the Earth FGS! We shouldn't be colonising the moon + shouldn't be considering going to Mars.

In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

Mark Zuckerberg, an outspoken critic of "man-made climate change", shows off his new $300 million, 287-foot mega yacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines. What's that word oh yea hypocrite that fits .

“This is a dark day for Britain” howls Reform’s Zia Yusuf on the govt’s decision to immediately ban crypto and cap foreign donations to political parties. Almost as if he doesn’t give a shit about democracy or patriotism and cares much more about money, no matter how dirty and corrupt it is. (Times)

Not even just Americans. They're trying to spread everywhere. #Palantir

The #Nottingham Attacks hearing gets on the national #BBC News tonight as the two students’ parents speak. Who decided not to put the Coates family on? A shameful editorial decision.

Glad our only vehicle is an EV! Hopefully petrol price hikes will encourage more to make the shift

Such powerful words from the sons of Ian Coates today, my heart goes out to them. They are absolutely right, the people of #Nottingham deserve better.

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

At least 16 people have died after heavy rain and thunderstorms lashed the Pakistani port city of Karachi overnight on March 18, according to an ambulance service.

It’s a no-brainer for a variety of reasons

I don’t remember the BBC News reporting on the African Cup of Nations at the time, but now eagerly jumping about on the disqualification of Senegal - presumably motivated by stereotyping around African issues

I absolutely agree!

The first of spring! I do love a tulip

Sums up why I can’t watch the Paralympics this time ffs, why did they do that?

Trump is stupid, mad, dangerous, rich, and ridiculously powerful, but most of all ... the stupid bit. That's what should worry us most.

Yes it was... Time to call for the country to #RejoinEU Become part of the @europeanmovement.co.uk #BrexitDisaster #Breturn

South East Water says it can't provide water to all new homes Water companies haven't built new reservoirs for decades, paid dividends, govts did nothing Govt wants to build new homes but no infrastructure planning. That's what happens when you privatize essentials infrastructure.

I am now the unhappy holder of a blue passport, what a bloody shambles. Wrecked our economy, enabled racism to run riot, stupid flag shaggers, Brexit was a disaster.

Former political prisoner Nasrin Parvaz reads a letter to Keir Starmer signed by more than 100 pro-democracy, pro-justice and anti-war British-Iranians, including other former Evin detainees Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Aras Amiri. Full list of signatories is at togetherforiran.org

A very positive step, should be national! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Our major news broadcasters seem very relaxed about the imposition of a new leader in Iran by Trump. For heavens sake BBC & ITV don’t you believe in democracy?
