14 years of chaos. 14 years of gutting public services. Working people deserve better. It’s time for change. It’s time for Labour. #GE2024

In a class piece of local journalism, the BBC used a statement from Amber Valley Borough Council that was FIVE WEEKS old, presenting it as the current position. AVBC is now Labour controlled. It was Tory before. Who knew? Thanks @BBCDerby @bbcemt. Apology awaited.

Delighted to have been part of this great team that have delivered a Labour landslide victory on Amber Valley Borough Council. Belper now has three Labour councillors, of which I am one, and no Tories! The work starts now...

The most valuable feature of democracy is that it has built in error correction.
Impressive figure… and very indicative of the country’s mood. Brexit had failed everyone. Time to rejoin ! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

An excellent lesson in what politics can and should deliver in the real world.
It was true 25 years ago & it’s still true today. πŸ‘‡

Ordered some printing last week. Had to order in 4 batches to get enough. Yesterday, got 8 emails to say they were being despatched. This morning, got 16 emails giving me a delivery slot. Slightly worried about how many I'm going to get.

"Our duty to refugees". A powerful Spectator editorial critiques the Illegal Migration Bill as draconian and indiscriminate. The magazine wants people traffickers tackle, but calls this attempt at a blanket abolition of asylum both impractical and immoral spectator.co.uk/article/our-…

Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter. Compare and contrast.

This is so interesting. And just shows the absurd inconsistencies. Just read final sentence in this adjudication, and ask is audience not able to do same with Gary Lineker?
Lineker is Freelance but here's the BBC reply to a complaint about Chris Packham, also Freelance

Erm... quite the Friday for the BBC. It's just apologised for failing to properly challenge Nadine Dorries in an interview last week. Radio 4 allowed her to claim that Sue Gray is pals with Keir Starmer and the partygate probe is discredited by "deep political motivations."

Has Rishi Sunak ever explained exactly how someone could "legally" go about claiming asylum in the UK?

Wow, this looks like a great read! πŸ˜‰
It's out! Clarke and Fairchild spy thrillers Book Six, an elaborate caper set in an Italian summer heatwave. Some great promotions on the rest of the series too. Thanks to @rhinobytes_uk for the fab cover! books2read.com/theshow?store…
