@WhovianLeap 'All I said was, "You'd better stock up with knickers, just in case". What's wrong with that?'

Lincolnshire's about as Tory as you can get, but now Lincoln has just 5 Tory councillors and (+3) 23 Labour councillors. Also, it has 5 Lib-Dems, so not the best of days for the Blue Meanies.

@larrymeath True. I have nothing against conventional Conservatives, but they've been overrun by what are essentially hard right militants.

@synoizia I may be wrong (possibly very wrong) but they look like beech nuts to me. Do you have a tree nearby? If so, they are loved by rodents, including large ones like squirrels, so you might have company. Noticed any scratting sounds lately?

This year 175 nations are coming together to agree a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty to cut plastic production.

Ask your MP to keep up the pressure for a genuinely transformative treaty that tackles plastic pollution for good. Let’s make history: https://t.co/2mYYu2aPK1

@AnnaCramling Happy birthday, Anna, even if I'm a little late. Hope you had a wonderful day.

I once encountered the White Boar Morris in Bingham, Nottinghamshire, many, many years ago. Their alcohol consumption was so copious that I bet they still have hangovers to this day.

[Jacka Garth 💙💛 @SocialBeastie]

I bet you sacrificed your liver in the pub. ;)

[Rhapsody Angel @Blodeuweddmoon]

I used to be a Morris Dancer. I can assure you we never sacrificed anyone. Honest.

Voting is desirable, but propping up people who seek to undermine me is not. Starmer isn't listening, and you could be forgiven for thinking that even if he is, he doesn't give a monkey's cuss about his party's traditional supporters.

[Jacka Garth 💙💛 @SocialBeastie]

It's all very well for @Keir_Starmer to ask for my vote, but there are some practical reasons why he may not get it. #1 I don't have voter ID, though I will have it eventually. Currently, this disbars me from voting in local elections. Why? you may ask.

[Jacka Garth 💙💛 @SocialBeastie]

As for me, I'll be busy ensuring my dad takes his meds on time. I'll be helping him to put on his surgical stockings. I'll be ordering his groceries, digging his garden and seeing to his array of complex health needs.

@AndyNeilly How disrespectful!

[Jacka Garth 💙💛 @SocialBeastie]

@Keir_Starmer Democracy. I remember when it was democratic.

[Jacka Garth 💙💛 @SocialBeastie]

@Keir_Starmer I don't have any ID, so that's me disenfranchised. A lot of people will find themselves in the same boat.
