Eight Reform UK councils have indicated that they will raise council tax next year after struggling to find huge cuts in public spending.

Thatโ€™s despite Reform UK flyers during the Local Elections criticising councils for doing just that.

Never trust a Reformer.

I work in a team of 9. 5 members of that team just got given brand new iPhone 17 Proโ€™s as โ€œwork phonesโ€.

To say that thereโ€™s a degree of tension between the haves and have-nots is an understatement.

(I didnโ€™t receive a phone, and wouldnโ€™t take one if offered - work doesnโ€™t exist if Iโ€™m not here)

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

I know it's easy to get lost in the noise, anger, depression and hate of these dark times, but you matter, you're important - even if you can't see it - and I'm glad you're here.

Trigger warning for transphobic excerpts in the video, but worth highlighting - @ofcom.bsky.social are failing to investigate TalkTV and GB News for flagrant violations of their broadcasting standards, without providing a reason for this failure.

Got to worry for the folk who evidently tried to paint on the Tesco roundabout in Bury.

Clearly gave up halfway through and instead wrote U.K. in the middleโ€ฆ didnโ€™t have enough paint for the flag? Or was England too hard to spell?

Absolute scenes on the roads this morning.

Behind a learner driver who was clearly struggling - Iโ€™m thinking it was their first lesson, theyโ€™re stalling, drifting out of lanes, trying to take turns that arenโ€™t there etc, so I hang back and give them some space.

Overtake on the dual carriagewayโ€ฆ

Ah edits, and writing a long paragraph of text justifying why your original should remain, before realising that the editorโ€™s version is better.

Really looking forward to RS Wiltโ€™s Final Deployment, which is released this weekend!

The Astra Militarum series has been excellent as a fan of the faction (and very fun to contribute to!) and Iโ€™m excited to see some Scions deep in the thick of it.
