This is one of three accounts. This one focuses narrowly on Cornwall and the development of the tourist industry. Am writing book on Cornish Tourism's history.

When Tories try to bribe the very elderly with a few hundred quid for their vote, a reminder of what Tories thought of pensioners just a short while ago…

paper is being derelict in their responsibilities to their readers. Maybe I am being too kind to British pollsters, but the American scene seems to be methodologically chaotic and the MSM should be pointing the issues out. @LouisTurnerFal

Over here in the UK, we also have some troubles with polling. However, I'm absolutely sure that most pollsters over here would pretty automatically adjust for the distortions picked up here. If the NYT just published the raw results without any compensatory adjustments, the 1/

In order for Trump to get a lead over Biden the NYT poll had to find that Trump would double his support with black voters, Biden would lose his lead with women voters, and that virtually every single Trump voter in 2020 will cast the same vote in 2024.

A parish council will consider a request to mark the location of a long-lost venue in #Cornwall where the likes of @TheWho @pinkfloyd and @sparksofficial played. It’s now a @Morrisons store… https://t.co/AjGaBb1HT7

@JayneKirkham4 @AlvertonHotel @TFCLP_2021 @LesleyIbbi @ThangamMP It was a good do. Hope you raised the kind of money you needed.

At what point does someone born on the Lizard 30 years ago, still living in Cornwall, but from an in-comer family working in Culdrose, become Cornish?

The only riot there has been was when Suella Braverman inspired thugs stormed the Cenotaph.

Rishi Sunak didn't say anything about it, didn't condemn it once.

The only time he mentioned it, he tried to blame the violence on Palestine supporters.

Trump launches new footwear. From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Within the library’s varied collection of pamphlets is this Cornish tartan catalogue from Cornovi Creations, dated 2001.

Did you know that Cornish tartan is quite modern?

It was designed by the poet EE Morton Nance in 1963.

Am working hard on the history of Cornish Tourism.

[FalmouthLouis @FalmouthLouis]

Excellent history.

I visited this consultation yesterday. The biggest beneficiaries will be Newquay and the Clay Villages, which have been overlooked for so long. A lot of emphasis on increasing bike usage. Penryn's Commercial Road will change in nature. Expect some blowback on this.

A very good read. This looks like a Cornish mining initiative with a lot of potential.

Visited the Mid-Cornwall Metro public consultation this morning in Penryn. A professional operation. GWR is bullish about the project, though needing subsidy for the first couple of years as traffic builds up. The biggest gainers will be Newquay and the Clay Villages.

@AndyPlumb4 I hate these bloody people, they refuse to integrate, they refuse to obey our laws, and they want to force their views on the rest of us…”

@jdpoc Not sure Kaspersky is any better. To be fair, an effective anti-virus programme has to reach into every part of your computer so unscrambling them will never be easy.

I was always impressed with Camborne Science and International Academy when I was doing 3D Printing demonstrations as part of careers days. Good to see that they are keeping their standards up.
