Excited for our fourth @KidicalMassBCP tomorrow 🥳. 11am start Poole Park cricket pavilion. I might have bubbles and a water pistol 🔫 💦😝. Here’s a throwback to last year’s Spring one in Christchurch
Great to join @ageuk Dorset for SHE means business lunch. Great to catch up with so many inspirational women coming together to support older people in Dorset
This is an interesting letter: in Oxford we have 17 “independents” standing for the City council with promises to remove the LTNs if elected. Which they can’t, as it’s the remit of the County Council (quite aside from the fact they’d need a majority, not a couple of Cllrs).

Govt spokesman Tom Bennett rides again, throwing facts & children under the bus in a frenzy of straw men, gaslighting & contempt. As with all Govt policies, its education strategy can only be supported by dismissing the victims. Here, 1.5m SEND kids & families. Election, please.

@TottenhamConse1 What the Tories don’t tell you is: They’ve overseen the biggest fall in living standards since records began. The highest tax burden in 70 years A 40% cut in local government funding. Used C-19 to blackmail TFL into fare rises while Europe bailed there’s out unconditionally
Ministers must hold nerve on 20mph, urges cycling charity bbc.in/3vXLOR4
Let me guess how this works. A company run by a tory donor will get a very big contract. They will then set up a call centre filled with people, who do not have to skills to make those decisions. It will be scrapped by Labour but the money will be gone? theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Coming up today on the BBC: "how best to share the roads". Title: "AntiSocial - Should cyclists stay in their lane?" "why has cycling become such a toxic topic?" To advance 'the debate between cyclists & motorists' they invite an ex GBN hack who doesn't drive or cycle to opine.
Menzies is the worst of the lot. A catalogue of dreadful behaviour since he came in ranging from male prostitution allegations to money to animal abuse to an all-round crappy, entitled attitude, temper tantrums and drunkenness. Absolute disgrace. He should’ve been dumped…

Hi @Tobias_Ellwood. Since the A35 Boscombe is officially the most dangerous road in Dorset, maybe you could stop making up culture wars and just support the Boscombe public-safety consultation? bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24263025.…
Need to buy a new dishwasher later as the current one is knackered. When I get one I'll pick it up in the car because I'm pragmatic and realise that's an appropriate use. It doesn't mean that a car is appropriate for picking up a loaf of bread and some milk as though
@okaypoet @ask_aubry This pisses me massively because just thought of recollecting all thr things I have to do is fucking overwhelming and the fact so may people unable to see all the actions / thoughts that we put in to make everyone's lives better
@okaypoet @ask_aubry While simultaneously stating that he doesn't accept women's statements regarding these things in the 1st place. It's intentionally dirty tactics to undermine any argument against his position. There's no way to prove it to his satisfaction bc he already decided no proof is valid
@ask_aubry The irony of refuting the existence of women's mental load by ASKING WOMEN to bear the mental load of gathering and providing data for him. 🤦♀️
A short story. Less than 3 months later it appears the 🔔 end who insists on parking here every day, putting child’s lives in danger mon-fri, has a court order against them and their car has been clamped. Time to seize that asset. To be continued…
What a 🔔 end. Who parks right a junction, on the pavement, near a school making crossing even more difficult….
Excited for our fourth @KidicalMassBCP tomorrow 🥳. 11am start Poole Park cricket pavilion. I might have bubbles and a water pistol 🔫 💦😝. Here’s a throwback to last year’s Spring one in Christchurch
@CheshireFire That is quite obviously a donation for training.
@CheshireFire I believe you should put a sign out front stating that any vehicles left there will be presumed to have been donated for Jaws of Life practise. Perhaps leave the remnants of a past donation by the sign for clarity.
@ask_aubry Advice to the dude: As soon as you suggest to the girl you're talking to that you see her as a "cock sleeve" you've ruined all chances of any sexual, romantic or even friendly relationship. I can't believe I have to say that.
Great to join @ageuk Dorset for SHE means business lunch. Great to catch up with so many inspirational women coming together to support older people in Dorset
@ask_aubry Imagine thinking that about women just because women in your life weren’t what he thought. Seek therapy cos that’s a deeper issue and don’t date till you stop thinking that cos you’re gonna transfer it into whoever you’re with
@ask_aubry “I’m traumatized bcus I discovered women are independent and autonomous like men. I thought they were virtuous slaves for men to control and now I can’t cope w/reality.”
Work, trustee, personal dev and medical appts done. I’m having the weekend to myself. Exhausted. Grateful for those who extended positivity. I remember everything. See you on the flipside.
@DaddyGardener80 Yes national problem. Even if the SV deal went through, it would have only managed the in-year spending and not the deficit. And in the meantime absolutely decimated SEND. Reducing no of EHCPs doesn't reduce needs. So many children that don't have EHCPs that need them.
Now's the time for councils to demand through @LGAcomms an extension to the override, to give LAs space to focus on survival. With luck, a govt willing to support our most vulnerable schoolkids may follow soon after. But Safety Valve will not fix this. 4/4
It's clear that Safety Valve cannot eliminate the deficit. What it can do is reduce SEND services, while Govt delays a decision about the statutory override, due to expire in 2026. But there's another way. 3/
My thread on Safety Valve last night seems to have been well timed, @vikki4mdnp @andym_editor @cllrdavidbrown... 2/ x.com/adamhighcliffe…
Dozens of UK councils face bankruptcy in 2026. In response, Govt is forcing councils to slash their Special Educational Needs & Disabilities budgets. The plan won’t work. And thousands of SEND kids could be needlessly cast adrift as a result. But there's a simple way out. 🧵 1/
Interesting to hear that @BCPCouncil has been invited to join the Govt's Safety Valve scheme for SEND services... 1/
Chief executive Graham Farrant says the local authority has been invited to join the government's "safety valve programme", which is a step up from the current programme the council is part of. He says discussions will be had on the pros and cons of this.
