OMG 😱

Farage’s party came second in 120 constituencies

They got 12.6% of the votes - 3rd highest vote share

They got 2 MPs

While the winning party only got 36.9%

Oh no, wait a sec - that was UKIP in 2015!

PM arrives in Norfolk to announce disgraceful act. Our rivers & seas need more protection, not less. EU rules were set to protect. Scrapping nutrient neutrality risk further harm & pollution. Clear guidance with mitigation credits should have been answer https://t.co/sQJjVOyDUw

If we want people to feel able to join in with unpaid community projects and ideas, we need to deal with wider problem of inequalities of income and support https://t.co/RecXkCUUH2

How about pointing out 2022 was worst year for real wage growth in nearly half a century - that average real wages in the UK will actually be lower in 2026 than they were in 2008 & then ask PM on what planet can it be said wage rises for public sector workers cause high inflation

What a great choir. I was singing those tunes to myself all day after that!

A massive thank you to Sing with Pride, who came along to our offices to perform their excellent LGBTQIA+-themed numbers on Monday morning.

Delighted that so many of our staff and councillors gathered to show their support for the LGBTQIA+ community.

With my citizen science E.coli tests now made public, I’m questioning claims wild birds are to blame for pollution at #Heacham beach #Norfolk, after "dangerous" levels of E.coli were found following heavy rain 🧪🦠🔬

Totally in awe of people's generosity. We launched this under a week ago and already we've hit 71%. I'm particularly touched by those I've worked with long ago who've chipped in. A lot of people seem to believe we need a new kind of politics! https://t.co/ptGcyl3LUO

"Water companies will pay an estimated £14.7bn in dividends by the end of this decade."

Yes, you read that right £14.7bn to them and another £10bn on top of your bill. The world has totally gone mad.
