Orwell pretty well nailed what I imagine will be Reform's response to Channel 4s report of dodgy dealings and corruption.

@greatwesternrail.bsky.social To say "Great Western Railway couldn't run a railroad" would be the understatement of the year!! Unbelievably bad service. On every level. #Shambles

Went to see Elvis Costello tonight. First 15 minutes were mediocre renditions of 3 or 4 classics. Next 90 mins were self indulgent country rock nurdling and muso bollox. Last 20 mins were class versions of classics. Bit shit, especially for £107. But would probably go again! 🙄

Today, I volunteered as a steward at the Chorlton Fun Run as I've done every year since it began. A great local event with a record number of runners. Hundreds of kids running alongside hundreds of adults was lovely to see. I was joined by my councillor colleagues Tina & Mathew.

The two Labour incumbents explained why things were difficult but highlighted those areas where they were able to bring improvements whereas the Lib Dem, WRP, SDP and Green candidates all appeared to want the moon on a stick and to do things no local councillor or council can do.

" one of the Greens was hiking in the Himalyas" So funny, but actually true. This is the reason for the no-show by the Green Party candidate for Chorlton Ward! 🙄🙄🙄
