@_LimeAID @limebike @wandbc I moved them. So the pavement wasn't being obstructed. Your welcome. Do better

[Chris Quince 🇺🇦 @CJQuince]

@limebike clearly left by your team blocking Elmfield Road Balham. @wandbc can we ban these menace from our borough please. Clear obstruction of public highway

[Chris Quince 🇺🇦 @CJQuince]

@wandbc what do we do if the my property tool is incorrectly saying food rubbish was collected this morning (wasn't, bin was out)

@lambeth_council @Kwajotweneboa Still got the same attitude I remember from being a leaseholder a decade ago I see Lambeth...

Do better

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@sainsburys are any of your stores having payment issues or other problems with delivery? No receipt yet or money taken for shop due in 50 mins...

[Alexander Clarkson  @APHClarkson]

It's worse than that. In 2010, Brown could at least count on a lot of core Labour voters thinking "well those are bigoted views".

In 2024 no Tory voter is going to think "well maybe skipping D-Day commemorations is OK, actually"

[Chris Quince 🇺🇦 @CJQuince]

@Samfr Labour got within <1900 votes of it in 1997. Although the 1992 majority was smaller than it is now.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

5) The two campaign policies that have cut through unprompted are National Service and GB Energy. I've been surprised how often GB Energy has been brought up unprompted since the pledges by fairly non-politically engaged people, it's a surprisingly retail Labour policy

@Aiannucci If they make the hole big enough it stops being a hole and just becomes the new level of the ground. Surrounded by piles of mud. I think this is their strategy

Going back to work tomorrow after two weeks off. Checking for work pass I found these items in my coat pocket and thought of @helen_undy. Always be prepared for sockless emergencies (and snack/snot ones).

[Chris Quince 🇺🇦 @CJQuince]

@sainsburys Why have you taken money? The receipt even has which items are short dated?! Did someone pick the items??

For some people losing a weekly shops money for 5 days is going to cause them difficulties.

[Chris Quince 🇺🇦 @CJQuince]

@sainsburys After telling everyone you won't deliver (we went to @asda instead) you've now charged us and sent us a receipt.

Not going to bother contacting your customer service team given messages on here. But will be sending any food that arrives today back.

Pretty appalling.

[Chris Quince 🇺🇦 @CJQuince]

@sainsburys not had receipt or payment taken for delivery today. Meant to be 9-10. Is it coming or have your system outage stopped all deliveries?
