Quelle surprise. And of the ones still sitting, how many are actually carrying out any of the duties?

Strong agree. I think being part of associational / civic life is a much stronger driver of personal fulfilment than most people realise - just as important as things like good health, close personal relationships, meaningful work. If it's not part of your life at all, maybe that's what's missing.

I always love polling days (even if the morning afters can be less fun). Most people around the world don't live in democracies; it's such a hard-won privilege to vote in free and fair elections, let alone to run in them. After four years as a 🌹councillor, I'm bowing out for now... it's been real 😎

Quite interesting analysis of the state on the ground here in Harrow...

"The 20 most common names for candidates in local elections [...] next week are all male bar one. Voters are four times as likely to be able to vote for a David (the most common male name) as they are for a Sarah, the only female name on the list, at number 20." Depressing but not surprising.

It's quite simple: these people are not interested in holding office in order to actually achieve anything, it's all just one big point-scoring exercise against their enemies. A national government would be exactly the same.

Not surprised by this - Nathan Smith and Will Jackson have been close friends for years. It's appalling to think of them serving on Harrow Council together.

Genuinely, I think one of the most impactful things I've done in four years as a councillor is getting some more trees planted around the ward. All councillors have budgets for ward improvements, and it's pretty easy to get them spent on planting new trees. Write to your councillor about it today!

Very proud I managed to stop this guy becoming a Conservative councillor four years ago in Harrow-on-the-Hill - he's been an embarrassment to Harrow and a disgrace to the Conservative party ever since.

Fun fact: under-5 mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa have halved since the advent of mass vaccination programmes around the turn of the millenium (no idea how anti-vaxxers would explain that and my sense is they rarely try). And yet there are children here in danger due to parents like this.

Great news. Would have made a huge difference to me for the ten years when I was a private renter. Annual rent rises / fear of evictions were such a source of stress for years. And I could have gotten a cat sooner too 🐈‍⬛️

Nine years on, Brexit is widely seen as a failure. Most Britons would now vote to rejoin. Even Leave voters are turning. Brexit has hurt the economy, businesses, and public finances. The public has moved on. Time for politics to catch up.

Agree with this. I've had the privilege of seeing UK aid work up close, and I wish more people could see it and understand the impact. Cutting is the wrong thing to do
