A long shot, but ….does anyone have a recommendation for a specialist law firm that deals with issues in community law ie resolving disputes between clients and the local authority social care teams?

Do Reform really believe that those with disabilities don’t have additional expenditure over the norm. They clearly haven’t any real world experience. PIP must stay.

Amazing how the BBC’s editorial judgement changed from the fawning comments on Nigel’s by-election wheeze by Chris Mason last night to the “you’re having a larf” mockery on the Today programme this morning. Whoever it was … well done!

BBC’s reporters - Sue Miller and Ben Milne - running rings around UK Government and police attempts to track down people smugglers. Well done them…but I can’t help cracking up when I hear them after the Dead Ringers take-off a few weeks ago.

England POOR. Football is better played at pace. The most speed any England player displayed was running back toward goal when defending Ghana’s long ball. When we won the ball we slowed down - every single time.

Seen the research this week that it’s natural to turn left for all people of all nationalities. There must be a different rule if you go into the political classes - to always turn RIGHT.

The orchids on Pipe Green seem to be flourishing. They’ve decided the temporary boundaries set up to keep them safe are cramping their style, and some have decided to breakout into the wider meadows. #Winning

I thought “innocent until proven guilty” was a central plank of UK justice? Quite a few of the establishment seem happy to abandon it in the case of AM-W. Us plebs. Knew he was a wrong ‘un years ago.

Please read this article in The Times today. It reports the frustration of 47K families that include a person with Downs Syndrome. They have seen the DS Act, passed in 2022, neutered by ministers & bureaucrats by proposing guidance which fails to recognise the different needs of people with Downs.

Happy New Year everyone! We’ve changed the format of our traditional photo this year, but not the sentiment.
D&R plus L&G. We’ve celebrated New Year together since 2001, with two or three near misses.

BBC coverage of #Glasto picking up political flak for broadcasting 2 acts. Coverage is fine by me. Dont watch if it annoys you. But they should be given grief over iPlayer coverage. Its unnavigable!! Where are Pulp & Ezra Collective? Covered live but then disappeared.

ReformUK’s agenda to stop new local gov. officers joining the LG pension scheme, and reducing pay deals to those already in the scheme is despicable. What a way to get staff on your side. This for employees, what for clients in soc serv & special ed???

Keir Starmer has lived in North London for 40 years, a multicultural area where migrants are welcome & play important roles in the economy & public services. Yet to Starmer such people are apparently 'strangers'. He didn't think so when he lived on the Archway Rd in the 80s 👇 wp.me/p15p2Q-e9G

Keir Starmer: 1980s-2020s. In North London but not of it
Socialist Alternatives May/June 1987 Keir Starmer putting forward new restrictions on legal immigration on 12th May argued that Britain was becoming an ‘island of strangers’. It sounded…

Anybody know what this beastie is? Scale doesn’t show, but it’s small - less that half an inch. Found today in our garden in centre of Lichfield @lisawilliams30.bsky.social

Presumably to get what he wants out of his current “peace” mongering, Trump has to turn Russia away from China. But Putin has been cosying up to China recently. That’s yet more negotiating power to Putin. #NotAGoodMove

I can’t remember the BBC launching an in-depth report into Grant Shapps career history when he had at least 3 CV’s. Strange that.

So having taken a long look at Farage, Musk has decided he’d prefer someone more like Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson ) to govern OUR country. #StickToTheUS

A seldom seen view of the Cathedral. I can’t remember it flooding in Beacon Park in the 36 years we’ve lived in Lichfield.
