@implausibleblog@DrAmirKhanGP Very reminiscent of local govt circa2012. “We’re cutting your budgets and you won’t be able to meet govt set targets so we’re getting rid of targets”
@sophielouisecc@nickejeffery Local government officer here; When council meetings stopped Food parcels and support for vulnerable started. When meetings started again the additional work stayed for many months. Do some research. Google. Anything. You’re looking like an idiot.
@sonstbbs@Alan_Measles My first thought. My second, how you and your missus have enriched and informed my life, and millions of others. Congratulations.

@AssaadRazzouk@RalfLittle I know someone in the industry. Apparently, there’s consideration of burying the old turbines in disused coal mines across the uk. You couldn’t make it up!
Today marks a year since @luhc's call for evidence on remote council meetings closed.
Virtual meetings open-up local democracy to all through helping councillors:
🫂 Living with disabilities & caring needs
☔️ In times of emergency like adverse weather
📝Juggling day jobs.
A morning of poignance, warmth, joy and tears. I’m late to the party @jennyeclair binge listening Little Lifetimes S6&7 on BBC Sounds. Utter Class. Thank you.
@Huddersfielder @Calderdale That’s a ballot paper compactor I’ll have you know! A great ‘in’ joke for anyone who’s worked on a polling station. Love it.
Akshata Murty is worth £27bn and went to all that trouble to avoid £20m tax. Thats the same as having £27,000 in the bank and dodging paying 20 quid. The greed is mind boggling.
@Independent She’ll be saying next that Tatiana blew herself up with her two kids in the ceasefire corridor outside Irpin. She should engage in some self inflicted silence. Fast.
@RevRichardColes @JoeZiffKimble went on a stag do to Dublin. Was Separated from group. Hungover, he made his way to airport. Was in his seat on return flight to Manchester and heard captain welcome him to flight to Paris! Yes it happens!!
@FannyPackPA @DocGingerS Complaints always feels personal. I’m not in health care but local govt; plenty of complaints. Also from people I’ve helped, gone the extra mile for and thought I had a good rapport with. None were founded or upheld. The lure of notoriety/cash was the motivation.Not bad service.
Which is why I'm pretty confident in my assessment that Johnson and his coterie of poshboy pissheads are genuinely more dishonest than the most prolific thief I've ever met.
