Hi @NewhamIndParty appreciate you’ve been spending huge amounts of time posting your grievances with the council AGM but any chance you could properly publish and publicise surgeries for your councillors? I can’t find any details for East Ham ward for example? 1/2

Given you’ve got 3 councillors elected here that’s very poor, you talked a lot on the doorstep about being a voice for locals but so far you seem invisible locally and to be spending a lot of time speaking about issues the local council has no control over. 2/2

Honestly if anything I think this shows significant lack of coffee game. He could easily have bought several Weber Key coffee grinders for around £2k each and a DE1 Pro coffee machine. Bean to cup is truly a sign that the wrong sickness has taken you.

Murrell’s actions may be unforgivable, but wonder if a few coffee nerds recognise the spiral

Forgot to talk about this but if you're a TMUX user or even better a TPM user, I've been working on (and released) a drop in replacement for it. Check it out (and if you really love it buy me a ko-fi to help me balance this, a job, and a baby 😂) github.com/RyanMacG/tpm-redu…

Always exciting to see how digitising the process for GP appointments/triage has resulted in only _great_ outcomes for end users... Really think creating a service that feels worse than the DVLA's test booking service is an achievement.

Somehow our GP has ended up with two services live neither of which allow me to execute the basic function of requesting/booking a follow up appointment in 4-6 weeks 🙃

Don't tweet very often these days but felt I had to share this amazing news. Really proud of where we got to 2023 can only hope we crack the top 5 this year. @TofooCo obviously willing to talk brand ambassadorship deals. – at East Ham, London

🚨BREAKING 🚨 @BrewDog have written to their workers telling them that they will no longer be paid the *real* living wage from April with the rate being removed for new starts with immediate effect. We wonder whether this will feature in the new film about the company? – at Glasgow, Scotland
