Question Time would be immeasurably better if people worked hard behind the scenes to put together juxtapositions like this, and the last 5 minutes of the programme consisted of the then-and-now clips being played to the audience to demonstrate the lies.

A few weeks of that would change everything.

MPs shouldn't be able to switch parties without asking us first!
I just signed a petition calling for mandatory by-elections when an MP changes their political party. We vote for a specific manifesto and set of values—if that changes, we should get to vote again. I...

A surprisingly quick #orpingtonparkrun yesterday at Goddington Park.
Lots of rain this week meant the underfoot conditions were a bit sticky and slippery but I managed to complete it in 25:23 and finished 24/155 runners

A new record for illegal parking on Station approach at Orpington today.
Despite double yellow lines and clear signage I counted 15 vehicles there today (including the previously reported Fiat on a jack)
Any chance you can get your parking enforcement team to deal with them?

A footbridge leading to Dartford station may be replaced.

It's in poor condition. A new bridge would enhance accessibility to boot.

The U.S Government is now threatening fellow NATO members with 10% tariffs, rising to 25% on 1st June, if we don’t hand Greenland to the mad Emperor in the White House.

I wonder if most Americans even know this is happening?

Under no circumstances should we cave to this economic warfare.
