Hi this is Kath’s husband Steve. I don’t know what this is but I’m sorry to say my darling wife died at the end of November. Sorry

I can’t sleep ☹️

Awake at 6 to find we’re still needing 60 signatures by 0820 to hit our daily #parkypetition100K target - please sign! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

New FOIs reveal that the UK government doesn’t know how its funding for reskilling workers in Port Talbot is being used, or even how many people are being retrained.   Welsh former steelworkers will come to the logical conclusion that Labour has abandoned them. #PMQs

It's a clear ¡No! from the Mexican president. Let me translate that for her US counterpart: No.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... What do you mean, you haven't signed the Parky Charter petition calling for better Parkinson's care?? We Parkies have an excuse - one of the symptoms of PD is apathy. But as for the rest of you, jump to it! (pretty please..)

Things have changed A LOT since Labour published it's manifesto. America is no longer a trusted ally. It's clearly in our best interests to #RejoinEU If they don't change tac then we'll vote tactically to get them OUT and LibDems and TheGreenParty IN! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Wide awake, raring to go and craving Rowntree Fruit pastilles! It’s 2.45 am for goodness sake 🤷‍♀️

Give up ignorance for Lent! Go to the Library and be tempted by awesome books for 40 days! Great for puns "The Librarian Lent me this book!" teenlibrarian.co.uk/2017/03/01/g...

Did you hear about these 20 government actions? No? That’s the problem. The media aren’t telling you what’s happening. @stephenmcnair.bsky.social reports

Please can EVERYONE give this another push and get to 100,000 signatures this week! Only 14,000 required!! At 100,000, it will be debated by MPs in Parliament. 'Apply for the UK to join the EU asap' petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... On map: the darker the more signatures in each constituency.

Just wanted to promote the work of a friend, an incredible #photographer as well as a #veteran and son of a refugee. Work is slow for him at the moment and he’s not on social media much. If you’re in the West of England especially do look him up — his work’s amazing and he’s lovely. andybarnham.com

The French Human Rights League is asking the public to join them in a mass exodus of X on January 20 www.euronews.com/next/2025/01...

America falls to oligarchy. Incredible that an outgoing US President can say this in such a matter-of-fact way. This is indeed a whole different level of things now with no immediate way out.

Please repost if you believe that big-money political donations are intrinsically corrupt and should be banned and classed as the serious criminal offence of corruptly buying political influence.

We need urgent realignment with Europe, watertight counter disinformation laws, social media regulation, laws against foreign interference/foreign funding, the same re. the press plus reform, an overhaul of Ofcom and a PM that will firmly tell our insane hillbilly cousin, America, to go fuck itself.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

X is pushing far-right extremism to young users. Pretending to be a teen in Germany, we immediately saw @RadioGenoa and @Martin_Sellner as the top recommended accounts to follow. We urge the @ec.europa.eu to look into this situation and take appropriate action. #XitNow #DownWithX

Guess who wants this photo banned from the internet? Please like and repost! 😉😘

There are 60+ geographic sites, 25 monuments, 40+ schools, 25 hospitals, 60+ roads & bridges, two train lines and an Antarctic area twice the size of the UK named after Elizabeth II. It's of no disrespect to the late Queen to say we don't need to spend £46m of scarce taxpayer cash to remember her.

Why are train seats so uncomfortable?! My back is in bits ☹️

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed. If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath. 👉 uk.bookshop.org/shop/Storyvi...

Yeah it would be dreadful if it was shared far and wide…

In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report youtu.be/jvo1JM6xZqQ?...

Can I ask a favour of you fab folk. Our little online art shop is the only thing keeping us afloat in these testing times, so if you are looking for gifts or a treat for yourself it would be great if you'd consider a print. Or a hit on the share button would be smashing. x littleramstudio.etsy.com

Here' an idea ... 👇👇👇 The EU and UK are set to review the Brexit deal in 2026. So why not hold a new Brexit referendum before that, in 2025? That way, the government can find out exactly what the public's position is after 10 years of Brexit. #RejoinRef 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. gailmyerscough.co.uk

At the MCN bike show today - could only find one bike suitable for someone of my height 😂 but I did see Charley Boorman’s Long way round bike - it’s all his fault!!

Today I feel like I am mainly herding cats 😳☹️

Road trip 2024 all booked and sorted! To say I’m excited is an understatement. Picos de Europa here we come!

So we started planning our motorbike trip this year in 2023 - mainly France….. one YouTube video of the Picos d’europa later - it’s mostly Spain! Roll on retirement when such things aren’t governed by two weeks off! 🤦‍♀️

Happy New Year all!

Had a great balloons day - bit of leisurely shopping, lunch with a friend and lasagne in the oven! Happy days 🙂
