Such excitement this morning with the refuse collector who gives #DuffythePup biscuits every week. She hasn't seen him for a while. Love that he's telling her he's been off sick 😂😂😂😂
What he’s proposing is a return to municipalism - when the basic infrastructure of a city was owned and sometimes also operated by the city itself. It’s the pre-1945 settlement that even saw London deliver its own healthcare before the NHS.
It’s about self-sufficient regions rooting capital in their community to protect them against the tumult of globalisation. It’s about ensuring the fundamentals of an economy- energy, transport, water and even housing - can stop being a drag on people’s pay packets and the cost of business. That frees up people to innovate, spend, save for a better future, and take risks. Singapore does it. France does it. What it isn’t is status quo Neo-liberalism or Fabian style nationalisation. Which is why everyone is struggling to name it. It’s the Mutual Future.
👏 Jess Phillips. Her comments about how PM runs govt is what cabinet colleagues & MPs tell journos in private. Regarding online child abuse: "It's taken me a year to get you to agree to even threaten to legislate...Not legislate, just threaten. Deeds not words are what matter."
It’s been a busy morning. I’ve edited 476 photos of an event I photographed and sent to my client and now I’ve just finished signing and wrapping all of my books on pubs and canals that the most beautiful people have ordered. They’ll be winging their way amongst other places, to Texas, Colorado and even to Hounslow. If your life is feeling empty and you want it filled with happiness, here’s the link so that you can buy my books. Cheers 🥂

Starmer and Reeves are not kidding when they say this political uncertainty causes economic damage. The only “reset” being achieved at the moment is higher borrowing costs. Result? We’re all worse off. So deeply depressing.
I paid Premium 'ad free' @ITVXhelp. I did avoid normal ads but had to suffer endless trailers. That's not really ad free is it? And when the stream returns to the prog after the trailer, there's no sound for a while. Why can't you just have a premium streaming service that works?
It is with profound sadness that we announce the closure of two of our visitor centres, Redwings Mountains in Forfar, Angus, and Redwings Oxhill in Warwickshire, following a period of staff consultation. Both centres are closed with immediate effect.
