Misleading, @mhclg. Evidence of pensions not being paid? "people’s retirement savings are properly looked after" now. However funds are managed & invested, amount of pension specified in legislation. Not clear how these changes "benefit" #localgov staff. gov.uk/government/news/new-p…

1) supermarkets intensely competitive already 2) many people can pay - freezing prices benefits well off households 3) don't delay e.g. taxes on unhealthy food, increase benefits to help those really struggling e.g. housing element of universal credit 🤷‍♂️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y7…

Stunned to learn about this assault on the rights of barristers to do their best for their clients. Shameful that he is being prosecuted and worse still that reporting restrictions meant it was being kept secret from us. gardencourtchambers.co.uk/ga…

Come on, @BBCNews. Think you should comment on how such a policy would very likely be thrown out by the courts - Govt fettering its discretion, taking account of irrelevant or irrational considerations (such as how an area voted). bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c362…

And this gives one small insight into why the right of people in the UK to protest peacefully against the actions of the Israeli state and its armed forces should be sacrosanct. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c202…

If you're going to abuse apostrophes (whether by omission or by putting them in the wrong place), can you at least be consistently wrong, please, @MountainWHouse? 🤦‍♂️

English homonyms often trip people, including native speakers. 🤦‍♂️ Looking forward to reading about innocent thank yous next. 😉

V poor show by @WorcsTravel contractors. Wilden Lane #stourport shut. Signage explicitly says road closures are "excluding weekends". Erm, it's Sunday. Most of the congregation seems to have arrived, despite this unexpected hurdle.

Great to see #localgov, food waste collections and the fact that they haven't been rolled out everywhere featured on @haveigotnews Respect to @NNorthantsC @WestNorthants and @WandFCouncil for achieving a name check.

Replying to @guardiannews
@guardiannews Fact check needed on "councils had received a significant uplift in this year’s budget". Most district councils received increase in core spending power <CPI. theguardian.com/environment/…

And you might ask @DefraGovUK how many councils (in addition to 31 with transitional arrangements) have not implemented food waste collections on 31 March. Hint: it's many more than 31 in total.

The rip off is becoming worse. Yesterday, 30p differential at the same two garages which are opposite each other and *always* seem to have the same pricing. No cartel, obvs @CMAgovUK

Shockingly poor performance by @RoyalMail #kidderminster. Haven't had post for days, 15 items turn up today. Including @tescobankhelp credit card bill dated 12 March. Has taken over 2 weeks to get here. 🙄

One of the letters was from #nhs barely 10 miles away. Has taken well over 2 weeks to get here. If this is the standard of @RoyalMail performance, time for it to lose its Royal moniker.
