I am so furious about the toilet BS, which creates a totally bizarre environment in which nosey people can stop anyone from having a wee. What sort of govt feels good about creating the means to stop people having a wee? We need more free public toilets, not ways to make it harder to go to the loo

Every Reform UK Councillor that has gone, with reasons. This is superb:

Demand business that’s fair to people and planet. ✊🌍 #DoItFair action.fairtrade.org.uk/page/186243/...

This is yet another consequence of Starmer / Labour's shocking failure to communicate. People complained about Alastair Campbell's stranglehold on messaging, but it worked. People knew what was happening. Labour weren't drowned out by a right wing media.

I always opt into Octopus energy saving but as I’ve got solar there isn’t a lot I can do unless it rains!

Tinkered with this for far too long last night adding tickers and stuff. I think it’s finished now. Will only update as more Reform councillors leave. refukked.lovable.app

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

The secret £5 million payment to Farage by an overseas billionaire is the most astonishing example of political corruption. Don’t let up.

‘Tough on immigration, small craft from other planets landing up to 20 times a day & they all want council houses….’

It'd be Eric Morecambe's 100th birthday today

Remembering the late, great Eric Morecambe, who was born 100 Years ago today.

Good news!

Saw this today. I like it

Say what you like about the British press, but I find it reassuring that they spend months ripping apart a Labour PM for properly declaring some glasses and football tickets, then all but ignore someone who wants to be PM when he tries to cover up a £5 million gift.

Just for clarity. List of PM’s that had huge losses in local elections and didn’t resign.. Thatcher 1066 Major 2018 Blair 818 Brown 331 Cameron 405 May 1134 Johnson 485 Sunak 474

"The unexpected boom in home batteries and the equally surprising surge in rooftop solar installations means that Australia’s target of 82 per cent renewables by 2030 – long dismissed as a lost cause by some – is now very much within reach."

I'm delighted that we will now have the opportunity to run even more councils and prove beyond doubt what a bunch of incompetent numbskulls we are.

Bargain and will cheer you up after today’s results.

Embracing racism is not a way to restore pride, it’s a way to restore racism. It’s not a path to glory, it’s a path to repressed shame and having to lie to yourself, ever more desperately, about who you’ve become.

We’re at the Empire strikes back stage of the political cycle

How long before they realise they have elected people who don’t really care about local issues?

Coming soon to #TalkingPicturesTV Channel Premiere series! Every Wednesday, beginning Wednesday 20th May, at 5:30pm FILM NOIR - ORIGINS OF NOIR a fabulous documentary series featuring 'Citizen Kane', 'Metropolis', 'The Cabinet of Dr Caligari' and many more!

Wind and solar have now beaten fossil fuels in Great Britain for a record 15 months in a row Just a decade ago, fossil fuels were generating four times more than wind + solar Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels

It frustrates the fuck out of my that local elections effect your day to day more than national elections, yet have far far lower turnouts.

Nearly half of Britain’s energy is imported. If a country can’t keep the lights on without relying on others, how sovereign or vulnerable is it really? Max Terzza reports

I wish reporters would stop saying stuff like 'Scientists say we need to rapidly decarbonise to avoid catastrophic global heating' And simply say 'we need to rapidly decarbonise to avoid catastrophic global heating' It's not an opinion, it's a fact

We want to take the ‘May’ out of No-Mow May. May has just begun, but letting the grass grow is something you can do throughout the year to create a wildlife friendly garden. Mowing the lawn only once every four weeks boosts nectar production tenfold 🦋

How infuriating to hear the chairman(?) of Asda on the Today programme implying that land use for solar farms might significantly hurt UK food production. It's nonsense. Golf courses use more than solar ever will & beef/lamb production is huge yet provides a tiny fraction of our protein & calories.

We've found the droid you're looking for... Is it just us, or does the Temple of Apollo at Stourhead in Wiltshire bear a passing resemblance to R2D2? #StarWarsDay 📷Clive Nichols

Fair point

Everyone is so lovely on Race Across the World. People helping people.

An eccentric pensioner is found with the blood drained and packaged in whisky pods. Suspicion falls on Great Snoring’s billiards society, confused that crows stealing and moving balls on the 15th hole might threaten common decency.

I love reading novels. I’m always amazed by folks who don’t read fiction. There is nothing better, to me, than being in the middle of a book that you can’t wait to return to. It’s like living two lives at once.

Am glitching here

The BBC undercover investigation into false immigration claims is deeply irresponsible journalism. It does not highlight that exploitation by unregulated advisors occurs because legal aid was cut and the system is insane to navigate.

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

Can’t wait for JD Vance to campaign for Reform in the UK. How about next week? Is next week good for you?

[JOKE ABOUT JD VANCE VISITING THE ETIHAD TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO MAN CITY IN THEIR TITLE BID]

The parliament building in Budapest is modelled on Westminster and the Hungarians have rejected Trump’s minion. Whoop.

Congratulations Hungary. You sent Orban, Putin and Trump the message they needed to hear. And you made even more of a fool of JD Vance than he made of himself. Top work. Thank you.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

"While the end point is unclear, Trump’s would-be dictatorship is politically broken. And as Trump’s mental and physical dissipation increases by the day, it’s increasingly important to focus on the network of stooges that have built and sustained his regime." — @davidrlurie.com

I see the greedy gits at Amazon are making 2 million kindles obsolete. Shame on them!
