Never have a chip on your shoulder, when you can have a whole potato... Just a husband, granddad, carer and #BHAFC fan! I also compile a blog of our days out with our autistic 8 year old - https://days-out-with-an-autistic-child.co.uk

Andrea Jenkyns in 2017, before she was Reform UK Ltd Mayor of Lincolnshire "Delighted to open @CocaCola #Wakefield's solar farm today"

Andrea Jenkyns, Tory/Reform Ltd peer, is leading a march in Lincoln today against solar farms in Lincolnshire Here's a "delighted" Andrea Jenkyns opening a solar farm in 2017 - she's since deleted the post for some reason 🤔

Thank you to Mike F Shaw. Electoral fraud? Gerrymandering? Voter intimidation? Postal ballots? How much more transparent does it have to be, for them to see that Reform LTD is literally getting its talking points from the USA. Gerrymandering isn’t a thing in the UK for crying out loud!

What, don't repost this picture?

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Two cheeks of the same arse...

The Reform Party seem to be struggling in the polls on account of Farage's close relationship with a deeply unpopular Donald Trump. I imagine he hates this picture

What is a shock is Nigel apparently being a sleeper agent for the War on Christmas given he wants to ban public carol singing?! Plus Whit Walks, pilgrimages, outdoor Good Friday Passions & Remembrance services too? He (+Kemi) never think this tosh through www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

These are the same papers that castigated Blair for following Bush into Iraq, yet now turn on Starmer for not doing likewise for Dementia Don. Fucking hypocrites.

This is important. Reform keep taking positions that are only supported by the 25% of the electorate they already have and in doing so are negatively polarising everyone else against them.

Tracking our *negative* voting intention (who would Britons vote AGAINST): ➡️ Ref 38% (+9) 🌹Lab 34% (-4) 🌳 Con 7% (-1) 🌏 Green 7% (+4) 🐦‍ LD 3% (-) changes w/ Nov 2025 As Reform has plateaued in the polls, the number of people saying they would also vote *against* Reform has grown

It's a sad day today. My Dad passed away yesterday evening. He was desperate to make his 95th birthday, but fell just 4 days short. He is at peace now and re-united with Mum, his beloved wife of over 60 years marriage. God rest the pair of you!

I know it's not much of a #waterfall, but I do like this picture taken at the Fairy Pools on Skye. We had hoped to swim in one of the pools, but too many people about for us to strip off... ☺️

Blast, my finger slipped onto the repost button! Oh well...

Part of Laurence Fox's racist rant to Sangita Myska which he has since deleted, and which has been sent to the Police. Don't RT his shame. Or do.

A rarity for me, being the other side of the camera for once. This was taken on our trip to Scotland, at the Fairy Pools on Skye. Little One was just desperate to get in the water!!!

Makes you want to scream!!! I organised a collection with @royalmail.bsky.social to be collected on 13/11 - they failed to show, so I rebooked for the following day. I left the parcel in my porch, as per instructions. Granddaughter then had a delivery from Temu - of course, postie then 1/

comes along and takes the wrong parcel, taking the Temu parcel and sending it off on its merry way to Home Shopping Group. I have contacted Royal Mail customer services, who have been no help whatsoever, telling me to contact Temu, as the parcel sender. Unsurprisingly, they have said, "but it 2/

was delivered, and here's a nice photo". Yes, says I but Royal Mail said I needed to contact you as the sender of the now missing parcel. "Not our problem m8, trying contacting Evri, who delivered the now missing parcel". I haven't contacted Evri, what's the point, the fault lies with Royal Mail...

Ah, the joys of caring for an #autistic child with #ADHD and no understanding of the time of day! I just love getting up at 3am and listen to him play Shaun the Sheep, on a loop, on his tablet. At least he is happy - oh! and my wife, as she has gone back to sleep 😄

Well, I've done it. I've deactivated my Twitter account! Musk's latest meddling in Britain's legal process was the final straw for me... Good riddance to bad rubbish, as my Mum used to say! 😀

You are up to date.
