@CityMayorLeic Yes, but what are you doing still posting on this site? You can hardly argue that it's important for democratic engagement. Are you doing it just to support Musk? Why?

[PJ White @petewhite]

@CityMayorLeic @leicesterlibrar Very good. But what are you doing on here and not on Bluesky?

[PJ White @petewhite]

@CityMayorLeic Quick question, are you on Bluesky? I'd like to follow you but can't find you.

Another question. What are you doing still posting here? Really.

@mungotalks Great baths. Sad, and a shock, when they were closed. Hard to believe.

[PJ White @petewhite]

@ShockatAdam @CHCC_Official @Ofstednews Very good. Congratulations. But please can you post on BS not so much here.

For those unaware, Michael Moore has just posted on his Youtube, his film SICKO, about the Private Health Industry.

Completely free to view.

Please do share it so everyone knows about the film.

@rothleyweather Is there a rule of thumb for the ground temperature below which rain becomes snow? Or doesn't it work like that?

My reading, in Leicester city, is currently 2.5c. Rain.

@RMTunion today published survey results revealing @thetrainline's destructive practice of ripping off passengers, misleading the general public, and undermining the integrity of the railways. 🧵

@TimHarford Interesting.

You quote a study that equated 1,800 steps to 40 mins walking.

That's 45 steps a minute. Or around 1.3 seconds a step.

Nice leisurely pace. Approaching a saunter. I thought brisk walking was the thing.

Stop commenting about the Southport accused.
(And that goes for former Tory ministers as well).

[PJ White @petewhite]

@LM_Marlow Hope you haven't bleeded too much.

[PJ White @petewhite]

Thanks for the coverage.

I’ve had enough of this. This must have been the most miserable of all of the Tommy demos…. And there has been some pretty poor ones. Low energy, dull speeches and poor entertainment.

Lennon in jail leaves a big hole. Hard to see who is going to fill it in his absence

This is me signing off for a while

@LeicesterWorker @ShockatAdam Won't it be whoever the leader's office tells them to choose? I think that's how it works.

@wylfcen Hence the expression wide-eyed and Legolas.
