I asked the portfolio holder re the @eveningstandard.bsky.social exposé that managers tell wardens there is an “expected ticketing rate of 1.27 per hr” which “will be checked? For 8 hrs it will come to 10 or 11 PCNs minimum… it is GEL policy.” He said they have “performance benchmarks” not targets.

A state visit by Trump would be obscene in the current circumstances. No better than inviting the organ grinder rather than the monkey and hosting a state visit by Putin. stoptrump.org.uk/petition-can...

(on a personal note it's quite striking how quickly I've gone from "generally a bit of a pinko on defence issues" to "and could I just do a monthly direct debit to BAE Systems, would that help")

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Scrutinising Ealing Council’s budget. I’m asking whether the large savings in adults and children’s services budgets imply significant service cuts eg closure of adult day centres and children’s centres or are obtained by redesigning improved services as the portfolio holder maintains.

Donald Trump’s proposal for Gaza is bizarre and dangerous. The UK cannot remain silent.

submitted 28 days ago • 23 comments

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country. I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him. Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.

My friend Charlie Clinton is standing in the #Alperton By-election 🔶 He’ll be a fantastic, hard-working councillor who’ll fight for residents across the area unlike the complacent Labour-run Council 🥀 #VoteLibDem @libdems.org.uk #alpertonbyelection

I spoke for a petition to Ealing Council about the devastation of Gaza, including supporting its contention that refugees from Gaza should receive the same humanitarian support as refugees from Ukraine, and that the government must do everything it can to secure an immediate bilateral ceasefire.

Yes, I can vouch for this. Take care of yourself. And thank you very much for treating me to the gig, @andrewhickey.500songs.com! It was fantastic, truly a star-studded lineup and almost a Rutles concert in the second half.

Between the WWE lady and Dr. Oz, it’s obvious Trump just gives cabinet positions to folks he sees on TV. He’s probably nominating Lightening McQueen to be the Secretary of Transportation
