Potholes around Lindfield Ave and Fairways Rd have become ridiculous. While a few have been fixed, others that exceed the size threshold for repair have been left causing damage to residents cars and danger to all road users. I've been out reporting them again. ESCC need to get their act together!

Nathan Gill sentenced to 10.5 years for taking bribes to promote Russian talking points (something Farage apparently did for free). Judge notes "grave betrayal of the trust placed in you by the electorate". Good to see at least one far-right Reform crook held to account.

🤯 The government have announced that university tuition fees in England will increase every year in line with inflation from 2026. 🧑🎓 Education should be a right, not a privilege. 💚 That's why the Green Party would scrap tuition fees altogether.

What is the point of building new homes, if they are: a) too expensive for people to live in, and b) don't have essential services like a GP surgery or a school nearby? Very concerning that the Housing Secretary doesn't seem to understand that... or doesn't care.

When it comes to food-related emissions, the question isn’t “where” food is grown. It’s “what” food is it? (Especially beef and dairy.) And “how” it was grown? (Especially if it’s linked to deforestation or excessive fertilizer use.)
