Starmer's time is up. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social needs a new leader asap.

Presidential polls in the US are including Donald Trump, but he is not allowed a third term, make of that what you will.

The people of #Caerphilly have spoken. But don't imagine this is the end of #Reform. They have very wealthy backers, and intend to become a political force in #Wales. What happens next is up to the citizens of Wales.

The people have spoken.

A national disgrace, but is this punishment enough? I feel there's more dirt to come.

#Community is the gift that keeps on giving. Once you've connected with it, you're never poor. Once you realise its value, you'll never be short of solutions & possibilities.
#communitydevelopment

It's almost as if the Expess is trying to promote division and hate with misleading headlines...again.

Thanks @monkemma.bsky.social for one again providing the important context and detail that the legacy (billionaire-with-private-healthcare-owned) media can't seem to manage

So much energy is invested by communities to respond to the latest government initiative, only for much of it to subside when the initiative ends. We need a commitment to sustain ongoing community development, so citizens everywhere can continue to connect, decide and deliver, outside of local govt.

The UK government's #prideinplace proposals rely on an organised community in key areas of disadvantage able to respond and deliver change. Unless those areas have held onto a community trust type org, they'll need to invest in sustained #CommunityDevelopment.
Why must we start over each time?

Hold on to your analogue!
#AWSoutage

Alexa, Snapchat, Fortnite, ChatGPT and more taken down by major AWS outage A major Amazon Web Services outage resulted in many different platforms and services being taken down for many users in the US. This includes Amazon, Alexa, Snapchat, Fortnite, ChatGPT, and more. The problem first occurred shortly after midnight PDT. The company identified the cause a couple of hours later and says that it is now “continuing to observe recovery” across most services … more…

Who supports Kemi? Why are the Tories doing nothing to plug their losses to Reform? Do they secretly want to form an alliance and install Farage as their Dear Leader?

When leaders stop competing and start collaborating, everything changes.

Our first Mastermind group is full - but more are forming.

Structured, confidential, energising. Real challenges. Real support.

#Leadership #Mastermind

Making Brexit work has proven to be a disastrous policy position. It can't be made to work in a way that improves upon what we had as EU members, so be honest!

And agents like #Farage will gladly pull Britain's trousers down.

So many ignorant people in Europe. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance will get us all killed.

Russia is on a trajectory to begin attacking NATO member states WITHIN the next 5 years - likely whilst Trump remains in office.

Once that starts, it's a one-way shift to European/World War 3.

Has #parking enforcement completed ended in #Bristol City Council's jurisdiction, or is it only carried out in neighbourhoods where residents shout loudest?
No evidence of anything happening in #Easton & #Fishponds, resulting in delayed buses and poor road safety.
@tristancorkpost.bsky.social

Bristol, like many UK cities, is in the grip of a #housingcrisis. Time to get tough on this runaway problem @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Today's CMA report highlights how UK vets practices have been ripping off customers. This is largely due to the role played by #petinsurance, which helps to increase prices. If you want to know where #dentalpractices are headed with prices, look no further than vets. Same business model.

Do it while you still can, to make sure you always can, regardless of which party is in power. #democracy withers when you don't use it fully.

Regardless of whether you're a fan of #Starmer, you have to acknowledge that fixing 14 years of Tory incompetence and corruption will take more than a couple of years.
And if you think the answer is further tax cuts that will cripple our already starved public finances, give your head a wobble!!

Is there anyone in power that #Epstein hasn't 'touched'?

UK police forces dodge questions on Palantir | Good Law Project After Leicestershire Police removed details of a deal with the controversial US spy-tech firm, three quarters of UK police forces refuse to say if they even have a contract with Palantir.

⚠️Three-quarters of UK police forces refuse to say if they even have a contract with Palantir.
Read that back.
The head of the UK branch of Palantir is Louis Mosely, grandson of British Fascist Oswald Mosely.

PS. Whilst I'm not too keen on the use of 'school' - democratic engagement shouldn't need lessons - the opportunity still looks great and could release a lot of community potential.

This is what a Reform government would actually do, if you care to look beyond the images of small boats and St George cross flags.
Farage WILL screw you over!

Don't worry, and don't despair! Your active participation in everyday #democracy will reveal positive solutions that achieve real and lasting impact in society. ⏬

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.
