10 years ago today, I was driving from the Bay of Islands to The Coromandel Peninsular in NZ. Couldn't resist the temptation of activating zl1/nl-076 Mount Parihaka in Whangarei for SOTA.
Nice and easy drive up, which was nice 😀

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Obviously never been to Bangor University which happens to have to have excellent b&b accommodation and a fantastic restaurant with amazing views over the Menai Straits to Anglesey. Oh and a few Nobel Prize winning alumni and - Oakeshott wouldn't rate him, perhaps 😂 - director Danny Boyle.
So very Trumpian. Is this really what you want? Your local university having to close down because Reform are having a hissy fit? Loss of jobs, loss of opportunities,loss of investment in your community? Look at who they are and what they're threatening!

There's some roadworks that have been taking place on the Shropshire/Worcestershire border for TWO YEARS.
So far, we've seen people working there for about 3 days drilling holes and pouring concrete down them.

Some people aren't getting their ASDA delivery...
Apparently last night, an ASDA delivery van attempted to cross the ford at Neen Savage in Shropshire but didn't quite make it.
It's now wedged against a footbridge some 1.2km downstream.
Driver is apparently OK

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit.

This is another thing…Peter Thiel is all over the Epstein files too…govt needs to seriously look at the number of data contracts it’s giving Palantir…I mean, it was always shady and shouldn’t have been brought deep into Uk infrastructure, but now there’s zero excuse for continuing to give contracts
If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

The Trump regime are pushing crypto currencies because there is no oversight. Trump and his associates have told us they intend to interfere in our democracies and our leaders, once again, are like rabbits in the headlights. We, in Europe, need to ban crypto donations to political parties now.
