Remember this practical illustration when you hear quotes about £BILLIONs

Either in multiples of, or indeed percentages of such a mind-boggling sum for the vast majority of us to grasp readily.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Billionaire wealth keeps piling up. Everyone else is left with less and less.

With this mountain of pasta, I show why we need to tax the Billionaires.

@Delverie @BournemouthOne @Russell_Cotes @Dhanraz @Dhanraz is an extraordinary artist, folk who know me recognise the expression as a true to life

[Cllr George Farquhar @George4Labour]

@Delverie @BournemouthOne Hiya Andy, the Director of the @Russell_Cotes kindly agreed with the talented artist @Dhanraz to have the first lifesize oil portrait of a Bournemouth Mayor in a century, on a tour

Maybe the start of exchange of Mayoral art to promote the connection between the RC and Mayoralty

Alex has better attendance record at @BCPCouncil than some Councillors

I'm reminded of the Nolan Principles of Public Life

Selflessness
Integrity
Objectiveness
Accountability
Honesty

To me, Integrity means doing the right thing even if no one is watching

An amazing moment at Bournemouth Depot, standing with students from Pokesdown Community Primary as the Secretary of State unveiled a Great British Railways train.

Here comes nationalisation 🚆

[Cllr George Farquhar @George4Labour]

@AlexMcKinstry1 I'm a sucker for a good anecdote and history being brought to life in a humoured way.

It is always good to have pomp and hubris, punctured with sharp insight and wit.

Particular merit and credit to the history of fish & chip shops of Bournemouth talk for stirring warm memories.

@afcbdsa Long slow road, but progress. Still much more for equality in accessibility

Thanks so much to @NeilForPoole for pledging support for a phased end to greyhound racing

In the UK, the average rate of people living in private rented accommodation is 19%.

In Bournemouth East, it's 33%.

And in Boscombe, it's as high as 60%.

Bournemouth’s Mayor says he’s “blown away” by a new painting of himself, the first full-size portrait of the town’s mayor in more than 100 years. https://t.co/GNSaCR5IZ9 @BCPCouncil @George4Labour

@HKnightEcho @Bournemouthecho @Darlingtonfe @NCTJ_news Super, well done Hannah

[Jessica Toale MP @JessicaToale]

This week, Bournemouth West was hit by a double stabbing. At PMQs, I asked the PM what more is being done to tackle knife crime in my constituency. He reaffirmed his commitment to halving knife crime and outlined new measures in the Crime and Policing Bill. #PMQs #endknifecrime

Slava Ukraini
Heroiam slava!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people be eternal. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[Tom Hayes MP @TomHayesBmouth]

So glad to visit the stunning @russell_cotes! A must-see for its rich collection and the ‘Artists in Purbeck: Spirit of Place’ exhibit, focusing on its artistic heritage.

It's worth checking out their arts & crafts sessions this half-term. A great day out for the family!

Not a month since the oath, quotes Napoleon, who crowned himself an Emperor

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

[Cllr George Farquhar @George4Labour]

@A_KinsellaEcho Well done Abi, you brought a very personable touch to our community reporting. You'll be sorely missed by many, myself included
