Great club and ground to visit @peckhamtownfc.bsky.social - and they were unlucky to get nothing out of the game today

Trump defending his mate Putin as usual - just how hard would it be to say "Russia illegally invaded Ukraine"?

Putin invaded Ukraine

I'm old enough to remember when US Presidents were capable of making that known to the world

Half way through - liked the cycling bit - started like you now on 802 grounds - addictive, going on Serbia and Romania ground hops- have been highlights

New Panini card set Adrenalyn XL PLUS 2025 - do you like or hate the parallel cards? For example, Hutchinson Lightning cards, basic card plus possibly 11 parallel versions!! Here is the basic, Orange and purple parallel

Badenoch was the minister for Council Tax so she can’t talk!

Council tax went up 12 years in a row under the Tory governments.

Labour is tackling illegal migration. Tories had recorded migration figures, running open boarders and Reform simply do not care.

Screenshot of The Times - picture of Healey, labour defence minister Drop 'Brexit rhetoric' over EU defence fund, Healey says The defence secretary dismissed calls to 'stand up to the EU' and said the government favoured a co-operative approach to security challenges

Tory MP James Cartlidge: “We must stand up to Macron”

Healey: “Drop that Brexit rhetoric”

Labour is being way too cautious on the reset with the EU but this kind of put down to the relentlessly adolescent EU-phobic rightwing is very welcome.

Ordered!

All that's left is the outline of the pitch and a crude replica of what was one of football's oldest covered shelters.

Thank you to Ipswich MP @jackabbott.bsky.social for his visit today to see the services that @stelizabethhospice.bsky.social delivers to our local community and to hear directly from our Medical Director to learn more about specialist palliative and end of life care. @hospiceuk.bsky.social

OPINION: Breakfast clubs will boost outcomes for children in Ipswich In his opinion column this week, Jack Abbott discusses the news that 15 schools in Suffolk will be among the first to offer free, daily breakfast…

Labour's new breakfast clubs will be transformational, boosting educational outcomes and life chances for children, and easing the cost of living for parents.

I'm delighted that schools in Ipswich and Suffolk will benefit from the first phase.

A very special grave to me is that of a Post Office Rifles lad at rest far from home in the soil of Verdun.

Reform, the Putin and Trump party.

Imagine if it was Johnson - or even worse - Truss - hosting a conference of European leaders, dealing with Putin, Ukraine and Trump? Complete chaos - we should all be very grateful that it is Starmer who is showing true statesmanship

Regardless of views on domestic policy, at a time that the US president is so unpredictable and unreliable Starmer will have to use all his experience as the UK’s top prosecutor to maintain any form of working relationship. I think he’s better placed than the last few PMs but it’ll be hard.

False-patriot Reform MPs are incapable of standing up for British values Reform MPs reject British values and spew Kremlin propaganda. The British people will see through their dangerous rhetoric.

Five Labour MPs with military backgrounds have accused Reform of "openly parroting the Kremlin’s talking points"

Mike Tapp, Will Stone, Helena Dollimore, Fred Thomas & Paul Foster in @thehousemag.bsky.social say that Farage's party is "out in the cold, isolated and indifferent" to "barbaric" Putin

See the Ipswich branch of the Reform Party have appointed someone as Chair who even the local Tories threw out after his comments supporting Putin (the Tories did want him back!)

‘End the dental desert’: Plans for 15,000 emergency dental appointments welcomed by MP Plans for more than 15,000 dental appointments have been welcomed by an MP.

🦷 15,500 desperately needed dental appointments for our area, delivering on the promise we made.

Combined with the important work being undertaken at the University of Suffolk Dental CIC, I hope we will soon be able to put an end to our county’s dental desert.

TV presenter and journalist Henry Kelly dies He presented shows including Game For A Laugh and Going For Gold, and fronted several radio programmes.

Sad to hear that Henry Kelly- 'Going for Gold' presenter has passed away- many lunchtimes at MPH in Belfast, watching the quiz, cuppa in hand and slippers on! Hard life! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Donated.

Strong leadership by Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, increase in Defence spending - Britain will lead NATO by example - needed more than ever with Trump in the White House
