Bunting competition

#LifeOnTheHomeFrontMuseumTrail @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social @Usborne

The new Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough won 28% of the vote, on 33% turnout.

There was no option to pick a second preference.

Like in the West of England, the winning candidate was elected by less than 10% of the electorate.

This is not sustainable. FPTP must go.

you can't spell "tariffs" without "FFS"

It’s that time of year - people asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain what they’re up to.
Please #repost.

At last!

Shaking up local government: fast moves and emerging debates The government’s devolution plans are moving fast. Eighteen areas want to postpone May’s elections. The minister has updated parliament on progress

Biggest reorganisation of local government across England for 50 years.

Spare a thought for the staff whose careers will be affected. They have to keep the services running, & plan/manage the reorganisation itself.

If you are a parent paying for childcare - nursery fees, childminders, holiday club, wraparound care - then look at Tax-Free Childcare. You can’t claim if on universal credit or if you earn over £100k but everyone else can. It will pay £2 for every £8 you pay, worth up to £2000 a year PER CHILD

Scooby-Doo taught us that, in the end, the monsters are always people.

Stop treating my son's birthday as an excuse for rampant capitalism. Follow his example instead and look after the poor.

Thank you, for pushing this forward. Tho it's odd that one of the main reasons I voted for you is so I could vote differently in the future!
