Gone from here (except for shameless self promotion), at least while Space Karen is still around. Try Mastodon or Bluesky.

I see that “I must delete this app for the sake of my mental health day” has come earlier this year. Find me over on Bluesky and Mastodon. So long and thanks for all the fish.

That's a hand puppet. This is a puppet on strings. See the difference?

Angela Rayner has already pulled Starmer’s strings to get him to let Diane Abbott stand and to surrender to the demands of trade unions. What will she make him do next?

Hello @AaronBell4NUL, constituent here. How do you feel about your boss attacking universities and consequently the major employer in your constituency? What will it do to the growth, prosperity and regeneration of Newcastle-Under-Lyme if student numbers are decimated?

Congratulations to @LutonTown I first went to a match (against Leyton Orient) in the old Third Division. I’ve followed them through the highs of the old first division to the lows of the conference league years. So pleased for the group of people that saved my football club.

New coal mine in Cumbria has nothing to do with energy crisis (not thermal coal) nor steel (British Steel don’t want it, too much sulphur). This is pandering to the right wing, spurious brexit ‘benefits’ and the culture war on the ‘woke’. Trashing the planet to ‘own the libs’.

The revised planning application for the Spode site (ref: 67907) includes landscape details with a water feature and sculpture replacing the remains of the bottle oven. We could never support this. Could you? Is this appropriate use of Levelling Up heritage fund millions?
