Nowhere, man. @bristolcitizen.bsky.social
instead of letting these comments sink like a stone as they normally would. BL manage to commercialise them for clicks under the guise of calling the posters out.

Costs capping: what really happened – We need to talk about Stoke Lodge The council’s behaviour has been as appalling as Cotham’s. welovestokelodge.blog/2025/07/24/cos…
Hey @TonyDDyer and @bristolgreen and @carla_denyer is this the sort of service and treatment of a council tax payer that you think is remotely acceptable? Clue. It's not. You promised a new broom in May and candidly you are proving just as bad as the old broom!
So, any advice on what to do if a council is just refusing to respond to email related to the inspection of accounts period? @bristol_citizen @AlexMcKinstry1 @GSwinburn @PeoplesAudit @AudreySuzanne

Someone should complain to the PCC about this so that deputy Slow Kev can advise her to ignore it:
Monday morning this week in Bristol and this happened. Police told the man filming that because these lads covered their faces, they won't investigate it. Read the full story here: bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…
Corbyn's left Party will be over run with factionalism, crankery, well connected & extremely privileged ideologues & identity politics jockeying for position. It will be a hot mess & a political bin fire. The working class will look on bewildered or won't notice it all.
Great to read @schneiderhome arguing for a democratic conference to launch the new left party - with proportional representation in the leadership of the party to allow for pluralism:
It's all going off in Dundee. The expert IT witness has clearly identified one of Dr Upton's Google notes as fake and NHS Fife's KC has lost her rag demanding, "are they paying you for this?" Court approved expert replies, "Yes. Like you are being paid for this."
And we're off in Dundee:

IT experts giving evidence in Dundee today. Could be a forensic insight into how public sector managers behave.
If only NHS Fife had a head of human resources who could have stepped in to save taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds by resolving the Sandie Peggie/Dr Upton case before it reached court. It does, of course: David Miller, hired on a salary of up to £107,000 a year. 🧵

Why are there diggers on the Bristol City Council owned section of Yew Tree Farm? Catherine wasn’t notified of any work happening and neither was anyone involved in the friends of Yew Tree Farm group. Not cool BCC, not cool. Yet another broken promise.

It's the summer story that keeps on giving:
