Just listened to Alf Dubs on Desert Island Discs. In 2015 when I first ran for the council, a man called Alf rang me and we met at the Brentford Towers. I was amazed that an 82 year old Lord would turn out to help me. Courteous, friendly, humble man. I was honoured. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Dub...

There are some benefits from being deaf. BBC subtitles today regarding the deal between Trump and Starmer had pleased both of them, and the meeting was full of smells. Correction : it was full of smiles. Subtitles often provide giggles 🤣

Great to see Hounslow - Brentford Boat Club and their mainly state school team - second in overall competition, making local boroughs like Richmond, Hammersmith and Kingston look sick. Hackney, look out - Hounslow look to take away your carriage in 2026 😂 www.londonyouthgames.org/wp-content/u...

I am not usually very good at long interviews but I found this compelling and I learnt quite a lot about Starmer. I'm a bit like him as I am by preference a manager www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCHu...

Fantastic results for Hounslow at the London Youth Games. Credit the Brentford Community Boathouse charity bcbh.org.uk and Team Keane, supported by LBH Thriving Communities and Lampton Leisure. Bronze medal to the whole team. 2 Golds, 3 silver and 3 bronze medals for this young & new team!

Reform's Richard Tice showing he's "thrilled to bits" at the count in Hamilton as his party, which expected to win, came in third behind Labour and SNP. I wonder how he would look when he's disappointed (from Guardian)

38d.gs/zcnm The damage caused to all of us by allowing children to grow up in poverty is extensive. I want well-nourished, happy children growing up proud of our country, feeling valued and eager to play a positive part in our country. Failing at this leads to a diminished country and people.

May 27 (Reuters) - Tesla's sales in Europe fell 49% in April from a year earlier, even though battery-electric car sales rose 27.8%, as the U.S. EV maker's upgrade of its Model Y shows little sign of reviving the brand's fortunes in the region So sad

Fantastic work by Brentford Boat Club and its partners. Making the rivers buzz with local youngsters. Small club with little resource. Let's all get behind them and give the charity a few quid. www.instagram.com/reel/DKEuHdY...

In Telegraph so obv true: "Al Moy, 38, an investment banker and father of three, received a letter from his daughter’s school saying they were increasing their fees by £10,000. We earn £345k, but soaring school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays" Labour targeting vulnerable people. Shameful.

Nigel Farage is very predictable. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... His dedication to the improvement of Clacton is reminiscent of his dedication to his job in the European Parliament, which had similar level of activity.

Hard to admitthis. Although I'm an experienced person and a former accountant, I was taken for a lot of money by a spoofer. A 'family member' asked for help paying a bill because of a mix up at the bank. I agreed and paid a couple of bills. Next day I had a message from @nationwideuk.bsky.social

Trying to get this going in Brentford. Utilities won't even fix these cabinets when they are vandalised. Our Highways contractor Hounslow Highways (not on Bluesky 😱) are up for it but @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social do 0. This will inspire me to have another go. Well done @emilykerr36.bsky.social

Lets not forget how the cost overruns led to calls to stop (what was then) Crossrail. The Elizabeth line has been a huge success 👇🏻. Instead of running away from doing major transport projects, the UK needs to get better at delivering them on time & on budget 🚉🚝

I agree @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social Heard you on Guardian Politics Weekly podcast with @johnharris1969.bsky.social. You spoke clearly and convincingly, and also respectfully of Keir Starmer. I'm in a similar place, and similarly depressed. Thank you.

110,833 health and care work visas, 27,174 for applicants and 83,659 for dependents in the year 2024, down from 348,157 in 2023. Due to scrutiny of employers in the health and social care sector, and action against employers. Home Office data. Big drop. Not sure implications but figures surprising
