The Deputy Chair of the Reform group on Cornwall Council, Rowland O’Connor, has quit the party, ITV West Country reports.

O’Connor says his views on how to help local people “increasingly diverged from those of the party”.

Please join my campaign for the British government to set up a department that would deal with issues around culture, media (and sport - why not?). And also to set up a specific regulator for broadcast media.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

It’s being called “Trump’s peace plan” but I can’t be the only one who thinks he had fuck all to do with it. I’m convinced he just blackmailed people - “call it Trump’s or I won’t support it”

He’s a petulant, pathetic parasite on the world, incapable of altruistic, detailed thinking about anything.

Oh my days, wee #bee captured yesterday for #InsectThursday. So delighted to see one this late in the season 😊 #macro #macrophotography #photography

Gotta love a wee bee packing in the pollen probs in hope rather than utility

A close-up of a fuzzy bumblebee collecting nectar from a vibrant purple flower. The bee’s body is covered in fine yellow, black, and white hairs, with pollen clinging to its hind leg. Its delicate wings are slightly translucent, and the blurred green background highlights the bee’s vivid detail and texture.

Water bills for England households to rise even higher.

Bills already up by 36%. Competition regulator permits another 1%-5%, £556m hike

No curbs on exec pay, dividends, sewage dumping as companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the Scam. Nationalise water

Five water firms provisionally allowed to raise bills by further 1% to 5%

An independent group appointed by the competition watchdog rejected nearly 80% of increases sought by companies.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

Badenoch: "While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China built five nuclear reactors."

A perfect summary of conservative idiocy. Glorifying authoritarian post-communism for its efficiency while vilifying democracy for seeking nuance and respect.

It is the Right who hate their own countries.

Pretty bad for the NHS to shrink the age pool of people eligible for free Covid jabs

You have to be 75 or over now - a lot of people in that group will be retired, and a private jab costs £100 which is not a small amount!

Alan Rew @alanrew.bsky.social · 1d

"Pharmacies facing angry patients over Covid jab confusion"

"Patients have also been telling Your Voice, Your BBC News that they have been receiving text messages from the NHS and their GP asking them to come forward for their Covid jab despite not being eligible."

Pharmacies facing angry patients over Covid jab confusion

Up to half of patients coming to some pharmacies are being turned away because they are not eligible.
