One year apart.

2025: lift heavy.

2026: apparently do that *and* run an unreasonable amount.

[Jon Dunham @JonDunhamGB]

I’m a British person and I can assure you that you and your party will never, ever speak for me 👍🏻

@indieretailgirl ‘Llefrith’ if you’re moving north, not ‘llaeth’!!

We are proud to release For a Fair Future, our new Youth Manifesto, calling for many things that effect the youth, from education to the environment, civil liberties to infrastructure.

Take a look at some key areas below - and read our full manifesto, link in bio.

Trumpism. Coming our way unless these charlatans are seen off.

@BNHWalker I absolutely understand where you’re coming from - it was a ridiculous amount of candidates - but one of the things that I love about our democracy is that (theoretically) anyone can stand up and put themselves forward for election.

@DOPreston Snap!

This one document could help shape what gets built near your home…

It’s called a Neighbourhood Plan.

But what is it, who creates it, and does it actually matter?

Here’s the answer in 60 seconds. 👇

#ExplainerFriday

[Rob Herd @HelloRobHerd]

Lovely little trip down to @EdwardMorelloWD’s patch. Charmouth and Lyme Regis looking beautiful and an amazing spot to watch the eclipse.

[Rob Herd @HelloRobHerd]

@TM_James_ Oh my gosh! I’m so so so so sorry…I’ll do the same. Every email has just prompted an automated response and it’s been a nightmare!

[Rob Herd @HelloRobHerd]

Listening to The Guitar Story on @BBCRadio4. From Joni Mitchell-era peace & anti-nuclear folk to ’80s anti-fascist music, when did musicians last create a genuinely political movement through music? Spice Girls and Girl Power/feminism, perhaps?

@LarrySidorczuk @MathewHulbert Sure, Liverpool’s lovely. Wasn’t it built as somewhere Chester people can go for a day out!?? 😉

[Rob Herd @HelloRobHerd]

This is the same style attack used to hack my account (and I’m pretty sure the same person/email address too).

Reported it to @X, who have been useless. Also reported to @ICOnews

[Thérèse Coffey @theresecoffey]

Folks, glad to be back in control of this X account. I hadn't used 2FA for X (I now do) and someone (using [email protected]) managed to hack into my Microsoft account, then lock me out. Apologies to those who got scam DMs. The popemobile was my favourite picture. T

[Rob Herd @HelloRobHerd]

My entire Facebook feed now only consists of parents trying to find solar eclipse glasses.

Makes me positively enthusiastic for Thursday’s return to missing Evri parcels.

[Rob Herd @HelloRobHerd]

You’re probably blaming the wrong people for the problems in your area.

So who IS responsible?

For #ExplainerFriday, here’s what a Parish Council actually does. And, just as importantly, what it doesn’t do.

70 seconds. No jargon. 👇

[Rob Herd @HelloRobHerd]

This is a really interesting take. Don’t get me wrong, the lack of regulation really grinds my gears personally, but knocking on doors, it *never* comes up as a priority - even when given the option on a survey. It’s always potholes, bins, dog poo etc…

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Vape shops. Betting shops. Dodgy businesses.

If you look at your high street these days and think ‘who asked for this?’, you’re not alone.

I’m doing something about it. We’re giving local people and councils more control over what opens, and tougher powers to crack down on businesses that aren’t good for our communities.

For too long, Westminster has stood by while our high streets declined. That ends now.
