If you’re involved in local government and not following @BearwoodCouncil you’re missing so much joy

That's an easy one, he's just not very good at politics and covers it up with the kind of confidence only private education can provide
"Tonight is a very, very devastating body blow."
@RoryStewartUK reflects on how he could have gotten his election prediction so wrong.

In 1939, with an aggressor nation on the march and no US military assistance (the US had a smaller army than Belgium at the time), UK defence spending increased from 3.75% of GDP to 9%. Do we have the will to do that again?
Cllr Matt Shakespeare 🔶 retweeted
The UK immediately needs to:
- Increase defence spending rapidly (rather than shrinking its army)
- Focus its military strategy on deterring Russian aggression in Europe (rather than confronting ‘global threats’)
- Work with European allies to defend Europe under a NATO that doesn’t have US support (rather than assuming that America guarantees European security).
Anything less would be a government dereliction of duty.

Unos reyes que acompañan a su pueblo cuando sufre..
Unos reyes que no se marchan a pesar de recibir insultos y barro…
Unos reyes que lloran con su pueblo..
Son unos reyes que se ganan a su pueblo.
Un ejemplo para muchos políticos…

In 1996 Ukraine handed over nuclear weapons to Russia "in exchange for a guarantee never to be threatened or invaded".

Buses have seen significant step forward in passenger numbers introducing this price cap. A 50% increase will turn people away, and hit those most in need of these servces to get around. A regressive step by Labour.l
