You know for sure if Trump had been President in 1940, he would have been saying Britain should make peace with Hitler...

Amazingly diplomatic of Zelensky not to have simply slapped Trump and Vance and taken the consequences.

Zelenskyy has more courage in his little finger than Trump ever will

This aged well

Great to hear that Leverkusen, Bracknell's twinned town, has re-elected Karl Lauterbach for his sixth term, keeping this bit of Germany red. We are proud at Bracknell Town Council to have maintained our twinned relationship, whatever party hue in Bracknell and Leverkusen, and long may it continue.

Am I the only one who wishes The Sims 1 was still playable?

When you're a councillor one day and the next you're actually using the service to give notice of marriage...

People know how much I go on about the Thames Basin Heaths. One of the roles I'm blessed with is chair of the board tasked with its protection. It's wonderful to end the year with improved numbers for all three species - a massive thanks to the team of wardens and our partners on this success!

My last political act of 2024. Delivering some Thank You letters to Kingfisher Chase and Dipper Lea in Jennett's Park for their amazing Christmas light displays, raising money for the Alzheimer's Society. An amazing cause and a sign of the Bracknell community spirit at its very best! #bracknell

A closeup of a cat, Frankie, curled up sleeping on white bedding. He has tabby stripes on his back and forehead. A splotch on his nose, and the rest of him is white. He’s curled in a way that shows his lower belly and he has his forepaws wrapped around his head. He’s looking especially cute. #CatsOfBlueSky

Five more minutes please

Oh lord

Great to meet Alzheimer's Research UK today to discuss how we can tackle dementia together.

Research is our only chance of stopping dementia in its tracks so I'm proud to be supporting their mission #ForACure

Proud of Bracknell Town Council for voting tonight to end its use of X/Twitter.

The glamorous life of being a councillor.

When the Bracknell Conservatives are lambasting us for encouraging people to use buses, you know they're out of ideas and out of vision for Bracknell Forest.

Wrap up warm and enjoy a walk, wheel or bike ride in Bracknell Forest. Or take the bus or train. This is more than just a challenge it's an opportunity to connect with nature & embrace a healthier lifestyle. www.ecorewards.co.uk/bracknell #ClimateAction #activetravel

Wonderful to see the pioneering approach of Bracknell Forest highlighted

Bizarre behaviour from the Bracknell Conservatives last night. Voting against a motion in Full Council that they introduced. Throwing toys out the pram because Labour, Liberal Democrats, and Greens called out their political games - not what their residents elected them for.

I am saddened to hear of the death of Cllr Paul Fishwick. As my opposite number at Wokingham Council, we worked together closely on a number of issues. Many will indeed remember his encyclopedic knowledge and his courtesy. I extend my heartfelt sympathies.
