I’m only quoting your figure. The govt plan on 1.5m homes. A simple equation gives you 90k homes if 94% of new homes won’t be on flood plains. Or are you disputing your previous post?

Do you also understand that putting in flood defences for these newly built homes may push the pressure of the flood further down to an area without flood defences? Damaging homes or businesses that haven’t had to deal with flooding before? Labour are making these decisions to do this.

90k homes will have to have more money spent on them because they’re being located directly in an area of high flood risk. That’s 90k families hoping this is done right when they wouldn’t have to do that if the homes weren’t built there. Do you understand that’s money being wasted?

That’s a hard nope.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month. No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less. Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses Lying, thieving b******

I like this for many reasons not least because it says Fix social care! Seriously. Otherwise council services and the NHS will continue to have problems they cannot easily overcome. Nothing gets fixed until social care gets fixed

Even 6% of homes built on a flood plain is incredibly bad. Whoever buys those properties they will not get insurance & they will find selling their home virtually impossible. Maintain it’s not clever. Question for you. Will any of that money allocated for flood defences be used on those homes?

Still Rhod Gilbert 🙃

They’ll have to invest a whole lot more soon when they build new homes on floodplains. They could just build away from them, but they’ve decided that’s not the best way. Clever that.

Rhod Gilbert, the water feature challenge up the ladder with Alex Horne. First time I had laughed so hard & uncontrollably for a long time. Haven’t seen yesterday’s yet, I hope it’s as good.

Just watched @zackpolanski.bsky.social speak without fear on BBC Question Time. Stuck to his principles and never shrank from saying what needed to be said. Zack was himself under extreme pressure and I've never been more proud to be a Green. Where's my rosette at? #bbcqt

Could there be a case taken to court to make the rivers in our country ‘people’? I know how that sounds but that’s what they have done in New Zealand to try to reverse the damage done & protect one of them. Is that a possibility?

It’s not the ones that read it consciously that are the problem. It’s those that go shopping. Glance at the rags. Ingest the cleverly titled front page & absorb the misinformation. It’s a subconscious twisting of people’s perspective.

Been saying this awhile as a once amateur/could-have-been-pro paintball player: loose fabric always decelerates paintballs. Think of the throw-an-egg-at-a-bedsheet physics test. Inflatables work even better. If you know you're going to "play paintball," WEAR LOOSE, BAGGY CLOTHES. Or an inflatable🐸😅

Excellent work! 👏👏👏

New police effort to make themselves utterly irrelevant to modern life. "British Transport Police (BTP) say they won't investigate bike thefts outside stations where the bicycle has been left for more than 2 hours". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... No cameras, drones, digital trackers - just hopeless!

After praising Zack Polanski's communication skills, deputy leader of the Green Party Rachel Millward says, "I remember how I felt on the morning of Brexit" "We just literally let Farage's lies write history"

Thank you @gillmh.bsky.social 💚x It’s not my first rodeo to be honest. Lost sight in right eye twice so far. Thankfully & I am really thankful, I have sight back in that eye thanks to the surgeries in July. My left eye has done the same as the right. Two parts have separated obscuring vision.
