Former reporter in Penryn and Falmouth, now away in the alps. I still like to keep an eye on what's happening though. Views are my own.

Interesting to see South West Water RT this without mentioning its own bills are significantly higher, closer to £500.
Also, follow up tweet mentions bills being close to inflation. Shame wages haven't seen the same increases in the same period. https://t.co/KiEYy2oxN4

[Water UK @WaterUK]

The average water and sewerage bill in England and Wales is currently £405. That's just over a pound a day for a high-quality water and wastewater service. 💧

@ThePacket There's also a bottle of Curio gin, which I'm very much looking forward to.

[Peter Johnstone @packet_peter]

As I'm leaving just before Christmas the @ThePacket team have got me my presents early. (Yes, that's a Beano annual). Gonna miss this place.

@StigAbell @TheTLS Glad you did your bit to help it along?

@Glitter_brawl @orbette And that's just Professor Green.

[Peter Johnstone @packet_peter]

@Glitter_brawl @orbette Ahem. The last gig was ace because they had The World's Best support acts. That's just science.

@JuliaHB1 She didn't order anything. If they're proud to be girls. she has no issue with calling them girls. This is just a request to use more inclusive language, for large groups, not individuals. And is there anything wrong with that?

Novel 'excuse' from neighbour blasting loud music at 1.30am last night.
"Oh, I thought you were students next door!"

As if that makes it alright?

Isn;t that just a bit of a cop-out halfway house? https://t.co/9UgbQlz18w

A motion of no confidence in @DC_PCC Alison Hernandez defeated by @CornwallCouncil - it asked her to "consider her position"

[Graham Smith @GrahamSmithCR]

Cornwall Council votes overwhelmingly against "no confidence" motion in Police & Crime Commissioner

Last month: ‘Strong Merkel will help UK & Brexit’

Now: ‘Weak Merkel helps UK & Brexit’

In Brexit Britain everything is great & glorious regardless. Also: how propaganda works.

She has a point. As, judging by this article, most of them are brighter than Melanie.

That Laurence Reed talking garbage on the radio. "If someone was shooting people on a beach in Bude and you had a shotgun, would you do something?"
Well a) Yes, if I could.
But b) Who takes a shotgun to the beach?
And c) If they have a handgun or rifle, will I do any good?

It's rare we see on camera what happens behind the scenes in politics but this clip of Stephen Kinnock's wife (previous PM of Denmark) giving him tips is a classic! #LabSummer
