Can't remember the last time council tax didn't go up by 4.99%. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Neither can I remember when pay rises were 4.99% to pay for these increases.. We're being bled dry by taxes, utilities and other essentials.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Putting Reform in charge of Kent CC is going so well that potholes are no longer a problem. In that you can't report them, not that they've fixed any of course.. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

New "The Expanse" video game looks lovely. However, the trailer had some pretty weird audio.. A belter speaking in a generic American accent without the belter-creole patois. Still, I'm sure they'll fix that ready for launch.

It very much looks as though the Israeli government has hijacked a UK registered ship in international waters, and kidnapped its passengers and crew

What a farce. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... If they'd stayed up by a point this season, all hell would have broken loose. You could argue they should never have been allowed to get promoted in the first place.

A whopping £160bn - that’s how much could have been raised for our country with a 2% wealth tax on JUST the families on the Sunday Times Rich List.

Youth mobility - excellent news. The decision makers of tomorrow on both sides will see the shared strengths we have. Brexit will be ended and never spoken of again. eGates - hurray!
