Shrewsbury Market Hall is staging a two-week showcase event as part of celebrations for this year’s national Love Your Local Market campaign.

I had to buy this when I saw it. Do you remember this game? My brother and I played it all the time. It was brutal

"A person who, without either the consent of the highway authority for the highway in question or an authorisation... affixes any picture, letter, sign or other mark... upon any tree, structure or works on or in a highway is guilty of an offence" Highways Act 1980 Part IX Section 132

Here we have WM Police completely failing to enforce the Highways Act against Raise the Colours in Stirchley yesterday - they ask for van papers but afaik not if they have permission to hang their divisive flags - they don't, and that's an offence. Yet again they are allowed to get away with it.

As a retired police officer I am totally baffled why @westmidlandspolice.bsky.social are not instructing officers to obtain details & report for process the summary offences against the Highways Act 1980. If they had done that months ago we might not have had the violent escalation seen last night.

If you get a chance, take a visit to Malmesbury. Fab little town. Get a bit of Athelstan andthe unfortunate Elmer the flying monk while you're there.

I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

Some teeny tiny flowers on the garden wall today. Apparently, they're Ivy-leaved Toadflax. Originally from Italy. Bloody foreign flowers coming over here and growing in our walls! 😀 #Garden #Flowers #Macro #UK #Shropshire

Who's in control of the newspapers and some commercial TV stations? Funny that they keep campaigning for less taxes to help the economy.

Oh what a tangled web they weave... Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.

Most 2024 Labour voters have a positive opinion of Burnham (+41 net favourability rating), while also tending to see Rayner (+13), Cooper (+12) and Miliband (+7) favourably Less popular figures among Labour voters include Reeves (-21), Mahmood (-16) and Streeting (-9) yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

BlueSky - I need your help! For those of you who don't know, I am a social media manager and run other people's accounts for them It's much harder to get traction than it used to be, so I'm thinking about various ways I could help people - maybe a free newsletter, or a training course 1/3

Network Rail – through their contractor Amco Giffen – will be carrying out essential maintenance works to the Castle Foregate and Great Western railway bridges in Shrewsbury between May and September.

BREAKING: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News.

Funnily enough we joked about that Starmer beating Streeting this morning

It is quite something to be even more unpopular than Starmer (19%), but Wes has achieved it (12%) Almost impressive yougov.com/en-gb/rating...

More flags have appeared on Telford Way, these ones are on poles and rise above the lamposts. Great use of council money to remove them.

In February I had the pleasure of illustrating five articles for the Harvard Business Review Special Issue magazine 'How to Collaborate Better'. The magazine came out last week so I'm happy to be able to share some new work. This is the first of the five, more to come in the next few days.

Is it time to get this out again?

"I said it seems unlikely that Nigel Farage would take £1 million to throw an election then another £5 million to become an MP. What did I say Roy?" "You said he definitely did because the grifting little shit would do anything for cash"

Presumably, all Farage has to do is provide the receipts for his security bill and apologise to us all for not declaring the £5 million. Shouldn't be a problem and as leader of a major party I'm sure he'll be absolutely delighted to clear up any misunderstanding.
