Trying to be my best me. But I must start saying NO more. Saying yes lead me to becoming a Borough Councillor, which I do enjoy.

But I also like riding bikes, eating good food, drinking good wine and France and music. Oh and FBPE

Wildflowers aren’t just good for pollinators, they’re helping reduce crop damage and cut pesticide use in apple orchards.

The approach is low-cost, sustainable and proven. A great story for Nature-Friendly Farming Week!

To all those accusing me (again 🙄) of being a NIMBY:
Given that the government's own analysis shows environmental protection doesn't impede housebuilding, kindly explain how trashing wildlife and habitats will take us any closer to getting the homes we need?

The NHS in England is planning "previously unthinkable" cuts to try to balance the books, health bosses say.

Services including diabetes care for young people, rehab centres and talking therapies are in the firing line, according to NHS Providers

Why does Starmer's Labour Party seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
Because it hates the left more than it fears the far right.
As a result it won't do the "left" things so many of its potential supporters are crying out for.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.

From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
