Jogging past a local private primary school this am, observed a long line of SUVs, each one attended to by teachers basically acting as a hotel porter. Kids escorted by an individual teacher from their idling cars into school. Seriously.

And all I can think of is quadrupling VAT on school fees.

Kent Labour source: "We only need 10 more defections in Kent [County Council] and [Reform] won’t have overall control. At the moment it’s 50-31"

"Whips lost:
🟣 1 in court for allegedly threatening to kill wife
🟣 ⁠1 to UKIP
🟣 ⁠1 investigated for lewd comments
🟣 ⁠1 for being anti-[leader] Kemkaran"

Councils are increasingly focussed on acute services (social care, homelessness) used by few people. All the median voter sees is that pot holes arent fixed + libraries are closed. @stuarthoddinott.bsky.social argues that Labour's reelection chances will be harmed if they don't fix council finances

AI can be such a congenital liar at times.

Great news that our Labour government is giving #Camden nearly £700,000 additional funding to help tackle homelessness.

Our share of #Labour marking #WorldHomelessnessDay by providing councils nationwide with extra £84 million to boost #homelessness prevention.

Labour making a difference.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

A "pro-Palestine' march passes me in Bath. Perhaps they're good people, I think to myself. The hippyish Quakers I remember from, say, being a member of Bath CND in the 80s. They're not *necessarily* antisemites, I say. So I check out their X feed. And it's awful.
