50 years ago today, #Rutland temporarily lost its independence.
On 1 April 1974, Leicestershire County Council became responsibly for many local government services.
In 1997, @rutlandcouncil took back control.

The end of a coffee morning in Woburn Sands today hearing about residents issues over a cuppa & cake 🍰☕️
Rukhsana & I listened to local issues, and Emily talked about national problems. Great that @JBaker_Ind could drop in and help with cross-county concerns.

Today I was the only woman sat in a pure mathematics masters-level class. The class is supposedly the ‘hardest class’ in the maths department at my university, according to the male lecturer.

In the election I committed to working on a cross party basis with local cllrs to get things done, and since being elected I’ve been doing just that.
Recently, I’ve been working with Lidlington parish cllrs and Cllr Baker and Bongo on the issues posed to the village by EWR (1/2) – at Lidlington, England

Zarch demonstrates what could be achieved with an 8MHz ARM 2 CPU in 1988. Running on an Archimedes using a 256 colour video mode and NO GPU or graphics accelerator, pure CPU brute force. Written entirely in ARM assembler, not BASIC as incorrectly reported in some articles/media.

'I'm not sure any politician has made more mess than Nadine Dorries.'
With the Tories losing their Mid Bedfordshire seat after holding it for 90 years, @mrjamesob outlines who from the party is to blame.

I cannot begin to say how proud we are of Callum being selected to represent GBR at the Tumbling World Age Group Championships in November.

EXC: Bankrupt Birmingham Council spent £4.5million on mostly online tuition and unsupervised 'home study' for expelled children - with the £30,000-per-pupil annual bill nearly twice that of one of the city's most expensive private schools

Here's what you didn't realise you needed today: a dodgy holiday 🎶 acapella version of an 80s tune, angled at the @NadineDorries story.
It's called "The Never Ending Dorries" - you can guess what it's parodying (@Limahl_Official).
PS: We're all still scarred by Artax's death

If you’re having a tedious day, imagine being the Minister for Roads and having to stand by the side of a roundabout all day while local Conservatives queue up for their publicity photo.
