Improve what you can, inspire people, be useful, do the right thing. Be wary of politicians that make promises.

STOLEN. Overnight from outside my home in Canterbury. Honda CB500. V329DPN. They cut through the security chain. Reported to Police. Please repost. I am not optimistic about getting it back but the more people who see this post the more chance there is.

When you are up on scaffolding, you would be surprised at what you can see. Like this PH driver, displaying a BB for a 96yo female. Probably picking her up then? Judging by this evidence, that doesn't seem to be the case. Unless you know different

Privatisation defined.

Renationalise them without any compensation .

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Labour has taken four rail companies into public ownership, so that - in Keir Starmer's words - they will now 'be run for the public good, not private profit'. On that logic, why not do the same for water, electricity, gas and Royal Mail?

[Nic Cicutti 💙 @NicCicutti]

@JeffHurstUK @david_hollas Political parties all have access to the electoral register. If you're more concerned about the potential privacy implications of Carole Vorderman's letter than the vile comments of the Reform candidate, you need to give your head a wobble

@JeffHurstUK @david_hollas We women up north definitely have a sense of humour.
We also know the difference between humour and misogyny.
Kenyon is not fit to be an MP.
Also, I received an unwanted addressed letter from Farage and Reform yesterday… where did he get my full name and address?

@Feargal_Sharkey @sfh300 @YorkshireWater This is the public scandal and Labour doing nothing about it, worried about scaring investors. Why doesn’t Gov give public a chance to invest, I would buy even if I didn’t get a dividend. Part of a national drive to return our water to public ownership. But with strict regulator

[MBGA @MBGA02586343]

@Feargal_Sharkey @YorkshireWater It amazes me that you still pay!

Here is a chance of you to en masse not pay for such a poor service and what are they going to do?

[HorseTown @horsetown18]

@Feargal_Sharkey @YorkshireWater They just put our bill up by 38% because they said our usage had increased. We questioned how that could be when we had been under a hosepipe ban for 6 months of last year. They then told us it was to fund a ‘project’. They have been given a government license to steal.

[Eamonn Hunt @eamonnhunt]

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! https://t.co/5lcFwe6cOu via @38degrees

Une société qui oblige une personne de 90 ans à utiliser un téléphone intelligent pour accéder à ses services, ce n’est pas une société moderne. C’est une société malades qui oublie tranquillement ses aînés. 😥

En 2026, tout passe par une application, un code, un mot de passe ou un portail en ligne.

Mais ceux qui ont bâti le Canada au dure travail accomplie..et Ce retrouvent aujourd’hui devant des écrans qu’ils ne comprennent pas toujours.

Quand une personne âgée doit appeler son fils, sa fille ou ses petits-enfants juste pour prendre un rendez-vous, payer une facture ou remplir un papier du gouvernement… il y a quelque chose qui ne fonctionne plus.

Le progrès, ce n’est pas quand une partie de la population se sent mise de côté dans son propre pays.

La technologie devrait rendre la vie plus simple pour tout le monde, pas juste pour ceux qui sont à l’aise avec un téléphone.

Parce qu’une société qui laisse ses aînés derrière elle ne devient pas plus moderne.

Elle devient juste plus froide et moins humaine.

@BladeoftheS As the @DalaiLama once said “Whats the point of being a Billionaire, youll never be able to spend all of the money”.

[Eamonn Hunt @eamonnhunt]

@Northernwindbag @David__Osland @JulieCuninghame Sadly much of that business is also foreign owned, so the money and its tax goes straight out of the country too.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

You spend millions every year so well paid MP's and Lord's can get subsidised alcohol at work.

There are 27 alcohol serving taxpayer subsidised bars and restaurants in the UK.

ALL of them in Westminster.

It's time to make it 0.

Like/RT if you agree.

@JamesMelville £60m might pay for the consultation phase. Someone has got there numbers wrong.

[Eamonn Hunt @eamonnhunt]

@manzanotti Apparently its not illegal to park on a pavement, its only illegal to drive on one, and the car has to be seen in motion for an officer to book the driver. My question is, how did the car get there?

But it would surely be in the councils interest to prosecute as many as possible

[Susie Goss @SusieMGoss]

Hi @GWRHelp, what compensation are you offering to passengers who’ve paid £90 to travel on the massively over-booked, standing room only 19:04 train from Paddington to Plymouth? How can you force people to stand for hours when tickets cost so much? Disgusting!

A solar farm just opened where a beef farm used to be.

This is a real sentence about a real place. In Lincolnshire, near Glentworth, on land that grew British food for six hundred years. 1,214 hectares of grazing pasture and cropland, the size of Heathrow Airport, now under panels for the next forty years.

It is called Tillbridge Solar. It was approved in October 2025. The locals were against it. The local council was overruled by central government. The farmer who used to graze cattle on that land will not be grazing cattle on that land in your lifetime.

Down the road, Springwell Solar got the nod the same month. 1,280 hectares. The largest in the country. Same story. Beef and arable, gone.

This is happening everywhere. CPRE found that 59% of England's biggest solar farms are on productive farmland. In one Lincolnshire district, 7% of the land is now solar panels. Three solar farms, Sutton Bridge, Goosehall, and Black Peak, are built entirely on the highest grade of agricultural land we have.

Now here is the part nobody mentions at the dinner party.

The roofs of the warehouses on the A1 are empty. The supermarket distribution centres are empty. The Amazon sheds, the MoD car parks, the industrial estates outside every town in England, all empty. CPRE's own numbers show that putting panels on the roofs we already have would meet the entire 2035 solar target on its own.

The panels are not going on the roofs.

The panels are going on Lincolnshire because leasing one field from one farmer is easy, and leasing a thousand roofs from a thousand owners is hard. The shortcut is the pasture.

You will not be told to stop eating beef.

You will simply find that the farm that produced it is now a power station, and the beef in the supermarket has come from Kansas, and it costs more, and the cow is no longer in the field, because the field is no longer a field.

Cover the roofs. Leave the pasture.

Tesco make £3 billion plus profits and yet nearly ALL of their shop floor staff are in receipt of universal credit. Shareholders and profits directly subsidised by the taxpayer.

Tescos are the benefit scroungers.

How hard can it be to outlaw this?
