It was disappointing not to make the break through for the Lib Dems in Nottinghamshire but what an incredible set of results elsewhere, beating our best case scenarios.

The man in the automated message on the Manchester Civil Justice Centre phone number genuinely sounds unhinged. It only gets worse the longer you listen. Just wait for the bit about bailiffs. Who approved this???

No sign of Reform here. The Labour split is between Corbynista's &Starmerites. The fallout will have a few days to run yet judging by some of the rumours over the weekend. It looks like the new group have nicked the Broxtowe Labour social media accounts.

If you’re struggling to decide who to support in this spat between Farage and Musk just remember that one is a nasty, ultra-right wing unprincipled multi-millionaire only interested in themself, and so is the other.

Kemi Badenock's attack on the British invention of the sandwich. Invented by John Montagu the 4th Earl of Sandwich in 1762. It's so British that even the French don't have a word for it! Beef steak for lunch is common in Argentina.

📣 "Slim profit margins pushed into the red" Instead of punishing small businesses and healthcare providers, the government should be going after wealthy tax-avoiding giants. These national insurance hikes need a rethink.

A Blue Sky question if I may. Someone has started following me. I haven't followed them back but a load of their posts (some in a language that I can't speak, others very anti-vax and fully of conspiracy theory rubbish) now appear in my feed. Can I stop this.

Following the announcement of an #ArlaFoods initiative to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows, several users took to social media to make false claims, questioning the safety of the feed additive, implicating #BillGates, and down-playing cows’ emissions on the climate.

So I've had a few days away to rest and recharge my batteries. I'm back to resume the fight for freedom, fairness and equality. All that is needed for evil to win is for good people to stay silent. I won't be silent.

This is such sad news to wake up to. John Prescott was a giant of a man in every way and real character of British politics. My thoughts are with everyone who loved him today.
