In Belgium… it’s another cost knocked on the head. Also means I then can only fly back and forth but so be it.
Ryanair and SN Brussels are OK for me.
My commute to work will be free soon…

Deal!
Yes, for me it’s the Easter WE to return. Don’t know the exact dates yet.
Need to find out soon so I can arrange my Channel crossing method. Hopefully fly. Driving takes long and we don’t need two cars here 😁
In fact… I’m considering not replacing mine when that β€˜dies’.
Cycling - Public tpt OK

I’m never worried about me and my time away.
My worry is the home front and them/OH coping with me not being there.
Seems to be doing OK πŸ‘

I think we’ve , sort of, settled into a routine already.
Daily video calls help a lot too.
Though I think the 3 wks before Easter I’ll be more or less off grid.
We’ll see.

Easter…
I got some training courses and exercises in the next 6 weeks.
Exciting stuff 😁

Applicable to quite a few British politicians:
Farage
Truss
Johnson

Good morning all!
The 8 days have flown by…
This last day is the travel day… Drive from Huddersfield to Dover. 4.5-5 hrs.
Ferry.
Then another good hour…
We’ve had a good time. Saw some friends too.
Cooked chicory in ham rolls gratin last night.
Have a lovely Sunday all!

We’re actually getting close to not going out anymore:
Drinks in pubs are already overpriced; on average Β£6+ for a pint…
Food prices have also gone up… in supermarkets too (plus shrinkflation).
It’s always been a bit of a gamble, trusting restaurant owners but this is making things worse.

Indeed…
Though I wonder if β€˜our’ embassy and Foreign Office Federal Government Service would do any better.
One would hope so.
Everything depends on the individuals and the communication.

Good morning Beans and Mushen!
I hope you have a distracting Saturday. The haircut should definitely help with that.
Molly and Dax managed to be in the same room last night.
We had a furry visitor in the afternoon.
Have a lovely WE!

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and your family Mushen!
I don’t know how one feels yet, when this happens. I can only hope it was painless and quick - something we’d wish for ourselves.
Big πŸ«‚ to you for the following days and weeks.

@ofwat.bsky.social
Just as well there are MPs like @harpreetuppalmp.bsky.social who take their job seriously.
I object to paying yet more for utilities...
@pauldaviesmp.bsky.social CON predecessor J McCartney was useless and I hope that the current Kirklees MPs will make life a lot harder for you.

This is it 100%; even to get officers into the estate requires coordination at the highest level. Andrew is being offered up (not that he doesn’t richly deserve it)

Who's David Davis again?
The UK representative who showed up to negotiate a Brexit deal and showed up at the table with out any documents?
Or the 'impact analysis' Brexit was potentially going to have on 58 economic sectors?

Based on this data I propose a new voting system:

We all get one vote for who we want and one vote for who we absolutely do not want.

We can call it the β€˜please for the love of god not Farage’ voting system

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?
FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

'Growth' LOL
Members of a Ltd Co, masquerading as a political party, pretending to be in favour of tripple lock... whilst they all were in favour of Brexit.
That's right, why trust Brexiters?
Brexit is the direct cause of a massive drop in UK GBP and loss of trade with the EU.

I will fight to my last breath to stop Reform repealing my hard won rights.
Braverman.
Daughter of economic migrants.
Dares to want to take away my rights.
Hard fought rights won by my ancestor sisters.

Reform can f**k right off.

This needs a repost, if you have family members on minimum wage & vote Reform you’ll be making them worse off. Think about it. If bosses don’t want to pay their staff enough money to live on, are they an ally of working people or not.

And below the #Cult leader and puppet master who keeps cashing in
- on presenting his views on that TV channel still allowed 'News' in its name by @ofcom.bsky.social
- being 'brand ambassador' for a gold flogging enterprise
whilst not holding MP surgeries in his #Clacton constituency...
