Council U-turn on scrapped speed limit reduction at accident blackspot KCC will now reduce the speed limit along a busy road after previously scrapping plans to do so.

As if we needed another example of what dangerous clowns Reform are in local Government thereโ€™s this๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

When they came to Power, they promptly cancelled plans which were in place to lower the speed at an accident black spot in Kent, which is claimed many lives and caused serious injuriesโ—๏ธ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

Politicians are using Ukrainian refugees as a political football.

The Welsh Conservative leader says he is against Wales' Nation of Sanctuary policy.

But this wasn't always his position...

It seems his morals have changed because he is worried about Reform taking his votes.

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

You donโ€™t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

My favourite Barry Cryer story is his account of Nicholas Parsons asking Ross Noble who his favourite comedian was. "Richard Pryor" Noble replied, "Genius! So sad he set himself on fire while freebasing crack cocaine".

Parsons, visibly upset, asked Barry later: "did you hear about Richard Briers?"

The govt should find 100 small things that piss people off & fix em, such asโ€ฆ

Ta to Politico for the vid, at its Labour fringe event, I explained that as big changes take time, govts should also have a team focused on small winnable change.

What little fixes'd you want?

Reform keeps arguing immigration is an issue when it isnโ€™t.

There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farageโ€™s party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there.

BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK.

We need to debate based on facts not scaremongering.

Together for Wales Why progressives in Wales must unite behind Plaid Cymru to stop Reform
