Second migrant sent to France returns to the UK The man was detected by biometrics, detained immediately, and will be deported as soon as possible, the Home Office says.

“Having been detected by biometrics” - so why exactly do we need Digital ID then if this is already possible?

Highlight quote: “The Council is not identifying and delivering savings in line with the scale of its budget requirements”

This is from Worcestershire County Council’s audit report. Yet they expect us to believe their savings numbers in their One Worcestershire unitary. They have zero credibility. It is time for new thinking and two unitaries to transform Worcestershire.

Reform’s leader of Worcestershire County Council thinks a day of democracy is too much like hard work. Perhaps she could spend some of the almost £55,000 a year we pay her on someone to look after her dogs. These meetings are in the calendar. If you don’t want to do the job, resign.

Thank you for showing me round Worcester Snoezelen - what a brilliant space it is, that we are lucky to have in Worcester. The expansion plans are very ambitious. Accessible play and support is so important - both in provision for all and dedicated provision.

It’s like a metaphor for Britain in 2025. Tax wealth, not work.

Disappointing to see the leader of Worcestershire Conservatives telling porkies on Politics Midlands. Worcester’s council tax WILL go up MORE under a single unitary for Worcestershire. There are only 5 chief execs in Worcestershire, not 7. North and South Worcestershire are what people want as well.

Bar chart, Reform on 32%, Conservatives on 17%, Greens in third on 15%, then Labour on 15%, Liberal Democrats on 12%, Others on 4%, SNP on 3%, Plaid Cymru on 1%

The "Abolish Landlords" policy, which Labour and Liberal Democrats in Worcester have both come out against, will end Right to Buy. If we do not end this farce, we will continue to see the our national assets ending up in the hands of landlords... who can then sell them back to the council for a […]

When Reform in Worcestershire, and their fossil fuel paymasters, deny climate change, they are abandoning residents to having their lives and businesses ruined by worsening flooding. We need action and we need it now, there is no time to wait […]

UK Lib Dems ditch flagship net-zero policy The U.K.’s third party said the policy, adopted in 2019, is “no longer practically possible”.

I remember having Lib Dems telling me Green Party was pointless because they were just as green. The proof is in the pudding: there is only one choice if you care about the environment and future generations: The Green Party.

Scottish parliament votes in favour of allowing councils to cap rent increases Legislation hailed as ‘historic step for fixing rigged housing market’ but campaigners say bolder action needed

This is the difference Greens in power can make. Give councils the power to cap rent increases, so they can help keep homes affordable for people in their areas. Well done Scottish Greens!
