Cllr John Haywood @ringwodian.bsky.social · Nov 16

As I'm getting lots of new followers, no doubt from being in starter packs, I thought I'd say hello 👋

I'm John, I'm district, town and parish councillor for a half of a market town and a verdant swathe of countryside and national park in Hampshire in southern England. 🧵

Lib Dems don’t want disadvantaged kids to have breakfast. Instead they’d rather have private education for the elite.

Decline in private school pupil numbers

Following the changes made by the Labour Government which imposed VAT on private school fees, Edinburgh West MP Christine Jardine has hit out at the damaging impact of the decision, as new figures revealed a sharp drop in pupil numbers across Scotland’s independent schools. Ms Jardine says the latest census from the Scottish Council of Independent Schools (SCIS) shows that enrolments have fallen by almost 3,000 pupils, a 10% decline, since the tax was introduced, with the steepest drop seen in Edinburgh, where rolls have fallen by over 10%.

The era-defining phenomenon of rampant football hooliganism didn’t happen according to “Honest” Bob Jenrick.

Pure bullshit from the batshit Tories.

Badenoch has all but accused the government of treachery - she should table a confidence motion and have it out. But she won’t because she knows she can’t hack it.

I’m beginning to think that Badenoch is a Reform plant designed to ensure that the Tories collapse.

Yep me too. Also the nurses were NHS and even the sonographer.

With one consultant it was even in an NHS hospital in the evening, and when I left the insured job I just got moved onto her NHS list.

Private health care is a cottage industry mostly geared up to using NHS-trained and supported professionals to enable wealthier people to jump the NHS queues.

Emergency care just doesn't fit their model.

Sorry for this folks, I'm a Labour Party member and a member of the Fabians.

But can someone tell me where I can get hold of this globalist cash?

Richard K @rkemb.bsky.social · 4d

Ah great, an article to remind me that the FT commentariat are just as mad as those of any other paper.

There is zero proof backing up Badenoch's assertion, so for BBC to quote that on front page is appalling.

No matter the venue I will always speak up on the issues that affect us in South East Cornwall.

I work with groups like Labour Coast and Country to address our specific needs on things like public transport and how best to grow our tourism, farming and fishing industries.

Brexit turned the right into addicts. They are constantly on the search for another hit - and the ECHR is what they have picked this time. But if they ever got their chance here the inevitable failure would drive them on, like every junkie, to wreck the place looking for the next fix.

Not all the north but South Yorkshire maybe - proper scallop/ fishcakes and more haddock sold than cod.

Little caravan outside the press room in the exhibition space. But only one machine and long queues.

Speaking to loads of MPs about how Labour needs the coast and country, and how the coast and country needs Labour.

Stronger Medicare, affordable housing, and secure jobs with fair wages. These are the things worth fighting for.

Thank you for inviting me to speak about our shared values at the UK Labor Conference today, Prime Minister Starmer.

Labour can’t meet the donations of Reform/Tories.

I’ve just sent them £3. If we all do that it’ll power them on to look after workers, renters, families, children and those who feel left behind. It beats a flat white any day!

I missed that earlier! Come and say hello on the Labour Coast and Country stand next to the PLP, Lizzi.

Small talk about greenhouses is guaranteed!
