Waveney Labour Party members had an interesting walk yesterday with well known local historian, Ivan Bunn. The theme was "Peto's Lowestoft" starting at the railway station moving to his fine promenade and the 'resort' of Kirkley that he constructed. waveneylabour.org.uk/2023/06…
Short piece on @r4Today at 7.40 on 20mph as default. James May gave a personal perspective but why no @20splentyforus invited?

The Uk Parl petition website has rejected all petitions re #DominicCummngs. Another act of ignoring the UK people. However change.org petition has over 1m signatures, sign it now chng.it/zzVpcWM6pr to protest.
So if Boris Johnson is saying that any questions regarding the Dominic Cummings fiasco is political, I assume he will be answering MPs questions in Parl when they are back about it? #dailyupdate
Suddenly there sprang into his mind, ready-made as it were, the image of a certain Comrade Ogilvy, who had recently died in battle, in heroic circumstances.. It was true that there was no such person as Comrade Ogilvy, but a few lines of print would soon bring him into existence.

Here you can see how #DominicCummngs changed his old blog in April/May, after his Durham trip. He made the changes to make it appear as if he'd warned about corona back in 2019.
Just like Jacob Rees-Mogg told us that he was too smart to follow advice if he had been at Grenfell, we’re told by Cummings the same regarding Coronavirus at his press conference.

Excited to be part of #FromtheFringe @NewWimbStudio next week! "Clever yet playful, savage yet amiable, this ingenious new play reflects the dualistic qualities of the feline it depicts" @theatremagazine #TheBlackCat
Brilliant show by @OlwenCDavies and @OllieDSmith. Great to also see so many of her friends turn up to see the performance at The Seagull Theatre, Lowestoft tonight. @LaPellesFactory must not leave it too long before returning to Lowestoft with their next production!

Two performers play out an adaptation of The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe. If only they could agree on the best way to do it. A battle of the sexes unfolds in this “tense and hilarious” retelling of the classic tale coming to @SeagullTheatre bit.ly/BC_SeagullLow #TheBlackCat
