Perhaps he'll be reminiscing with his now pal, John Redwood.

Birds of a feather. Good to see the Village Hall is so hospitable. Well worth a like.

Lowe shared it on Facebook before the irony of the UK's racist white ethnonationalist party complaining about divisive identity politics caused the post to spontaneously combust.

Very surprised to see @mattchorley.bsky.social at the #Wokingham town council fun day this afternoon. He did not look like he was having a lot of fun to be honest - I hope everything worked out ok. I, meanwhile, was making kids happy with free stickers. Happy days!

The background is brownish dry grass and futher back are tree, some gazebos and a van.

Brilliant win for Nagi Nagella of @wokinghamlabour.bsky.social and #TeamNorreys. Nagi retains his Norreys seat on #Wokingham Borough Council in face of Tory/Reform/LibDem challenge.

Eight members of Wokingham Labour Party stand in two rows facing the camera. All are smiling and most are wearing red rosettes.

This is a bizarre segment. Canvassing is pretty much always in listening mode and never in telling mode. Canvassing has always been an activity for a tiny minority so losing just a few people can be impactful, though.

This from a few weeks ago still hurts me.

Black and white photo of Hindenbug air disaster - a giant zeppelin erupting in flames. The BBC text wrongly assets that the disaster happened during World War Two. The disaster happened several years before the outbreak of war.

#Wokingham this evening. Reminds me of a Mediterranean holiday gone wrong. Hot, but cooler than earlier, a breeze not quite doing enough, parched. But with a stack of leaflets.

A white man with glasses, grey hair ans a checked shirt holds a leaflet next to his face. The leaflet is called "Councillor News" and the headline says 'Lib Dems refuse to rule out parking charges at Cantley park.

In the backgrounf is some brown grass, some houses with a white car parked outside and beyond that, some trees.

These are from the external reports into the finances. Of course LG funding is a mess but these Tory councillors were pursuing an ideological fantasy.

I don't know where that is but issues almost always get blamed on the Council here. Which doesn't help itself, by taking credit for things it doesn't do. This gem, for example. "You should have read the small print" and "the brochure isn't a contract" have very limited political mileage.

It's that time of the year again! Best tool for this job? A plastic snow shovel. (the road is closed to traffic at the moment- Wokingham's roads don't normally look like something from '28 Weeks Later'.

Pavement and road covered.in leaves. A speed camera warning sign is in the distance. The road and pavement seem to merge into one surface because there are so many leaves.

The same scene, with the pavement cleared of leaves. The pavement is not clearly contrasted to the road into the distance.

Pavement and road covered.in leaves. A sign is just visibleon the right, close the camera. A barrier blocks the road in the middle distance.

Turn same scene as before but viewed from next to the sign. The leaves have been cleared from the pavement which stands in stark contrast to the road, still covered in leaves.

It's a national campaign. They support tax breaks for rich people basically . Same as VAT on school fees.

US Google searches for 'Move to Canada' I have a very vague memory of a website of a FB page called "Marry an American' which was set up after one of the Bush wins to help facilitate Americans move abroad. Can't knock it - there was a limit to how much of Thatcher's Britian I could take.

Speedy litter pick with residents and our three borough councillors in #Wokingham this afternoon. Two of the group are off camera and about 8 cases of flytipping and overgrown vegetation also reported.

Seven residents and Labour Party councillors after a litter pick in Norreys ward. They are Al wearing red high visibility vests with 'Wokingham Labour' written on the front. They are holding litter picking sticks and standing behind a low wall of half full bin liners.

The whole group is standing in front of a play park and a lime of trees is visible behind the park.

Very warm reception as always from residents in #Wokingham during our litter pick.

Photo shows a mixed group of residents, councillors and Labour volunteers standing in two lines behind a small wall of black plastic bags, filled with litter. One of the bags is clear and contains recyclable litter.

Everyone is wearing Wokingham Labour red high visibility vests. Some of the group are holding litter picking sticks, some are holding plastic hoop.

The bags are on grass, about 30 metres behind the group are some trees.

I haven't seen any WLA stuff for ages. This popped up on my timeline. A few interesting things here. Fascinating to consider impact of an image of a woman driving a tractor was in that historical context.
