Would anyone be surprised if the Lib Dem’s bankrupt Bath and central Government needs to step in ? #SinkingBath

It’ll be like how long’s a piece o’ string. Just like the Fashion Museum. Deadlines will shift & there’ll be no money to undo it.
Oh look… 👀 A blue tractor with a flail mower flattening the rewilded hillside at #Bath #HighCommon.
Lib Dems declared an "Ecological Emergency" but suddenly precious winter insect habitats are mulch.
Green principles? Only if they don't clash with the new golf contract? 😉

Good the new operator of the pitch & put is doing something - but I thought this bit of the park was some kind of rewilding biodiverse paradise.
I guess we will get another Bathnes "lesson learnt" "processes to be updated" comms when the community nuttery greens notice.

I doubt even the most loyal of @bathnesld supporters believe that.

Bath’s Lib Dem council announces it will “carefully review” its unpopular Royal Victoria Park cycle lane … in a whole year’s time , once their controversial changes are fully installed - And once the concrete has set. Does anyone trust them ? @PrivateEyeNews 👀 #RottenBorough

Bath’s Lib Dems are wrong to carve up 196 year old Royal Victoria Park against residents’ wishes for a handful of cyclists.
It’s a waste of money, a hit to parking income, and an insult to the park’s heritage and neglected ponds. A review after the concrete sets is too late.

I can’t believe how much the council have vandalised our historic park despite the substantial objection by Walk Ride Bath and the ongoing petition.
A full objection was not put in front of the decision maker with the responsibility of making this decision, only a summary.
The historic Gateway to the park has been ruined and they are making substantial structural alterations that nobody in Bath asked for, to address an issue that doesn’t exist.
They are already putting in the speed humps and the Park Lane crossing, but had to revoke their own decision on the cycle lane.
Join the protest outside the Guildhall on Thursday 12th November at 6.00pm.

The changes to self-assessment taxation exemplify a system that's run for the convenience of the Treasury/HMRC, not the self-employed, sole traders and small businesses. That has to change.

“If Russia attacks with this lot, we’ll all need a drink”.
Kemi Badenoch absolutely destroys this incompetent Labour government. Absolutely brilliant.
Kemi is the prime minister we need.

😂 Nick Ferrari bursts out laughing as Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds is forced to sell the latest government gimmick live on @LBC
Reynolds looked thoroughly embarrassed as he tried to sell the plan to scrap import tariffs on a list of “everyday essentials”.
When Ferrari asked him which products were included and what the actual savings would be, Reynolds immediately started dampening expectations, sheepishly admitting these were “not huge reductions” before reeling off the list: baked beans, chocolate, gherkins…
That’s as far as he got. Ferrari could not contain himself and burst out laughing. 😭
Nick then pointed out that the Conservatives have called the projected saving of £21 per year “derisory”.
You could see Reynolds was mortified reading it out. Imagine the brief he opened this morning and realised he had to go on air and sell this to the public. 😬
What a farce. Even on the government’s own figures, this works out at roughly 40p a week for the average household. Forty pence a week. You lucky people.
Another pointless gimmick that will have zero material impact on people’s lives.
