Councillors could get £1,450 a more in their basic allowance Lincolnshire County Councillors could receive a 13 per cent bump in their allowances from April.

Oh look, Reform UK-led Lincolnshire council looking to increase Councillor allowance by 14%…

Lincolnshire County Councillors could receive bump in their allowances - by £1,450 for basic rate

A timely reminder perhaps

Here in Mid Dorset and North Poole, I’ve been contacted by the grandmother of Jacques J, who despite reaching Olympic level has had to fundraise independently. If you’re able to, please consider supporting Jacques so we can see a little of Dorset represented at this year’s Games

This is quite horrendous, we have reached the stage where we can longer trust the U.S. and in particular, the President. Both houses also seem helpless. It saddens me greatly that a country that had the generosity to come up with the Marshal Plan, should be so self centred.

Well there’s one here!

I just wondered if Denmark, Greenland and Canada might have a chat.

Lol, old news, we, in Poole, had ‘socialist speed bumps’ years ago. A particularly unpleasant neighbour had a very big jag. His wife, ignoring the traffic calming measures on our very narrow roads, took out the gear box. Not a lot of sympathy from various neighbours.

Or … thyme for stew 😝

I have been invited to the ‘States by relatives, should I go and would they let me in?

This is a litmus test of British people's patriotism. Do you back your national broadcaster? Or do you back this guy?

Fifa wtf are you doing? Unbelievable

I’m watching this too and same thought resonated with me.

‘Fundamentalist’, what you do when you buy a Tesla. Thank you ‘Sorry I haven’t a clue’.

Hmmm, not sure about that. Robert Maxwell fell off the back of his boat. He stole pensions from Maxwell Communications employees. She felt it necessary to ally herself with Epstein, I suspect precisely because there was or is, no business left.

She’s relatively safe in prison 😳

Go on Donald, sue the BBC, the whole of the UK will be after you. You’ll never play golf here again.

While I have no sympathy for Andrew, formerly known as prince, I think the good old US of A needs to start clearing its Augean stables before it starts trying to haul a British commoner over the pond for interrogation.

As a Society, I worry that Question Time is stopped for an out of work ex-prince causing public outrage, while thousands have been killed in the Gaza strip. Where is our compassion and outrage for this?

Lib Dem foot soldier. Pre-council meeting tonight, proud to be part of this group. Doing your best for residents and the towns isn’t always easy but it is worthwhile. The minute it was over, shot off to choir practice, loads of Christmas music to learn!🌲🌲🌲

Lib Dem foot soldier. Environment Committee tonight, discussed and debated plant based food, housing and invited fishing authority to make a presentation in the future. Council members working in harmony and getting things done. Looking forward to see defecting Tories in their new ties next week!😂

Supporting the arts in local councils should be statutory.

Am I allowed a small smirk?

Friendly Brit here; purely as a matter of idle curiosity are you not still awaiting his tax returns from last time?

Well done Vikki!🧡

Thank God he’s gone. I thought we were going have to subject him to a one out, one in, arrest. Onwards and upwards, to more important things: it’s the Lib Dem party conference in Bournemouth this weekend and AFC Bournemouth are playing Newcastle on Sunday🍒🧡🧡

I think it says a lot about the British attitude towards Trump when our rulers are not letting the general public anywhere near him 🤪

I am hoping we (UK) know what we are doing. For the moment at least, we have to try and keep the US onside for Ukraine. And we know there is a fragile ego to be entertained. I wonder if the farmer who carved a penis under Trump’s flight path has been warned not to be a naughty boy this time round😂

Love Artur Boruc, brilliant goalie with Bournemouth and a man with a heart.

Also incredibly stupid, as I am sure opposition councillors will fill the void.

It’s a way of getting those people who normally don’t vote out to the polls. It happened particularly during Brexit, there were calls on social media for people to get on the electoral register. ‘Don’t them take our country away from us’, was the cry.
