@mrjamesob.bsky.social I absolutely despise Reform, but families *are* being dumped in County Durham from elsewhere. I live in Durham and Croydon (I think) council has bought a load of the housing stock here.

Tomorrow I will be going to work because I am at work tomorrow. Unlike today when I went to work, before realising when I got there that I had the day off.
