Rest in peace Dad. You may have been my Step Dad, but you raised me as your own since I was 7 years old and you were amazing in every way. I’m going to miss you so much. We had some bloody good times and a lot of…
I’ve never felt so disappointed in British politics. I’m actually embarrassed by the House of Commons. It is now more clear than ever, that many politicians have put there own self-interests above their duty to the country. They should be ashamed
@10DowningStreet
. I’m just staggered that this came into force last week and hardly anyone (especially none of the political parties) are talking about it! Food is going to become even more expensive than it is already and supplies of certain products may become more difficult to get hold of.
. Yet another train journey sitting on my suitcase between carriages for 3 hours after spending around £140 on a single journey ticket! I realise it’s a bank holiday Monday but that’s exactly why more trains need to be running!

Now we have all had the wonderful pleasure of experiencing all of the amazing benefits of Brexit (there are simply too many to mention!!!) we need to be very, very honest with ourselves and admit that maybe 1 or 2 things didn’t quite turn out to be as good as
I decided to check out a mass new build housing estate on the edge of a beautiful historic town tonight...it’s depressing! No thought...no design...no place making. The houses have 1m of front garden if they are lucky! A huge sea of cars and block paving! Crap!
#housingcrisis
As the sun sets...I hope tomorrow is a new dawn for council housing and truly affordable housing across Britain. Enough is enough. We need to end the worst housing and affordability crisis Britain has ever seen!…
Unbelievable how the government didn’t trust teachers to grade their students under the most unprecedented circumstances. Who cares about ‘grade inflation’? Crikey these kids are going to have the toughest years ahead after Covid. Help and support them!
. The only faith I have at my age is in good people with big and truthful hearts…people who care, who smile and who hug no matter what life throws at them….people who believe in kindness and humanity. The rest of can honestly go forth and multiply!
I went past a mass new-build housing development today in Yorkshire. It broke my heart. If that is the general standard of housing and placemaking (there was none!) that Britain can do in the 21st century then the country is screwed. The homes weren’t cheap either!

this is just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! What a national scandal the water companies are…rinse profit, under invest and dump sewage!!! It’s disgusting
I know I’m going to sound like a miserable old man but I WISH THEY WOULD BAN PEOPLE CONSTANTLY DOING FACETIME VIDEOS IN RESTAURANTS! they pump the volume up and then shout at each other. Nobody wants to hear it! Go outside!
A massive game changer!!!! A council house scheme wins the Stirling Prize!!! Truly amazing!!!! Bring council housing back on a huge scale...

Free Fibre Optic Broadband I to EVERY home in Britain by 2030. Never going to happen. Never in a month of Sundays! We can’t even get full mobile phone reception across the country!!! Another political promise that won’t be delivered unfortunately
The price of rail travel in this country is totally out of control! Cheaper to fly internally (which is insane when you think about it)...and so much cheaper to drive! If we want people to use public transport we need cheaper rail travel. I’m flying from Newcastle to Bristol now

It’s is STAGGERING how negative people can be when you post about something really good, innovative, exciting and positive. I find it unbelievable to be honest.....
The entire train pricing system is a farce. What if you can’t book well in advance? Or split tickets? More people would travel by train if it was cheaper...fewer cars on the road. I love trains but the costs are insane...

shocking that Priti Patel is being defended as a bully by her colleagues for simply being a “strong and direct character”...we’d all expect every politician to be strong and direct. I’m sorry but THAT WASN’T the report’s findings. It concluded she was a bully!

Does Britain really value great design, green design and innovative building techniques when it comes to large scale housing developments? Culturally the entire system seems to think this is absolutely fine! Is it?
I’m sorry...but the standard and quality of so many of the mass house building developments I’m seeing across the country are utter sh**e! Enough really is enough! Systematic failure on a massive scale. It will badly effect communities for generations!

Travelling by train is amazing...I really love it. But the prices are a national disgrace. If it’s cheaper to drive OR FLY within the UK for less money then the government must step in. Trains should be cheaper and easier surely!

. I got beautifully stung by a rail company today. No wonder so many people choose to drive. For as long as trains are more expensive than the cost of driving we ain’t ever going to be green. Profit before people again. Amazing how much cheaper and flexible trains are in Europe.
