Reform UK’s Councillor Shaun Knowles in Northumberland has been paid £9340.67 since becoming a councillor.
An FOI has shown he’s sent 2, TWO emails since May!
He’s attended just 1 meeting (in Sept) since elected.

This is an excellent, depressing, analysis. Trump accuses Democrats of treason, yet he is the one colluding with Russia, selling out allies, betraying NATO, and surrendering US interests to the diktats of a foreign nation. Trump is a deeply corrupt, compromised, craven Quisling.

Reeves can juggle taxes but nothing improves until we face the truth.
We’re poorer bc of Brexit. We stay poor if Labour protects it.

Rachel Reeves is studiously ignoring the cause of Britain’s woes: the Brexit-shaped hole in its roof | Jonathan Freedland
The autumn budget will mop up some damage, but the true source of the economic crisis is clear. The government should now fix it – tragically, it won’t, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Just did some shopping in Tesco. The lady behind the till had to ask me what a red cabbage was. Are we really that disconnected from real food? When you stop and think what percentage of a supermarket isn’t prepackaged or ultra processed, is it any wonder?!

Last month I did a little experiment.
I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.
The results were...interesting...
