@robevac on Threads I woke up this morning with pure, unfiltered disdain for this man. I needed to find this clip and post it. Here’s Bishop Budde, calmly eviscerating him in public with nothing but truth and composure.

I have just had the summary report on the exhibition & it seems to have had quite an impact on staff in homelessness services in Norfolk and in charities who said they felt β€˜reinvigorated’ to improve things for people experiencing homelessness.

Criminal justice in East Anglia: justice delayed is justice denied Criminal justice in East Anglia is nearing breaking point: depleted police forces and delays in trial dates. In Pt 2, overcrowded prisons and an exhausted probation service

Unfortunately, that seems to be a common complaint about the impact technology is having in our lives. Hopefully, though it will open opportunities for different kinds of jobs.

Pecksniff: On PR as with Brexit, Starmer ignores wishes of both party and country In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

At the Commons vote on #farming , which Reform claim to champion, due to some oversight Mr Farage & all his brothers in Christ missed it.

Mr Farage was busy courting billionaires &, bizarrely, condemning semi-skimmed milk as β€œleft wing”.
