Our Labour WECA mayor is dishing out £19300 each to her favourite councillors. Not a good look at all in my humble opinion…

"I also believe that the time has come for me to resign my seat on the Council," said Cllr Pankhania on 16th July. So why is he still a councillor? And why is nothing being done about?

The way they are peeing money up the wall, it will never happen. Bristol to Bristol Airport, maybe, I hope so. Bristol to Bath is already well served by road and rail.

The UK mayor of Bath, Dr Bharat Pankhania, has apologized for sharing a series of posts that claimed the firebombing of Jewish ambulances outside of a synagogue were "Israeli false flags" and "insurance fraud." He said that "I have been made aware that I have reposted or replied to some posts which have never aligned to my values and beliefs, and which are abhorrent." So, he wasn't aware that he shared antisemitic conspiracy theories that a hate crime on Jews was actually just the Jews greedily trying to get insurance payouts and sympathy? Was he sleep-liking posts? If you can't truly acknowledge what you did wrong, then an apology is meaningless. You can't change behavior you won't acknowledge. Dr Pankhania should spend time with the Jewish community talking about the effect his posts had if he truly wants to make this situation better.

I don't sign petitions very often, and won't sign one asking for a councillor to quit. Not my ward, not my councillor. But if somebody started a petition asking @bob_combedown to run if Cllr Apologies quit ..... then 🤔🤔maybe I would get off my high horse and sign.

On behalf of the #IndependentsForBANES Group, I’ve written to @MayorBath’s Secretary and the Charter Trustees formally asking for the resignation of Cllr Bharat Pankhania as City Mayor. Antisemitism and support for antisemitic conspiracy theories have no place in our society!

The Mayor of Bath is a position that requires a significant level of public service, you have failed. You have clearly used the position to enhance your own profile. Turn up now and again for Council meetings and represent Combe Down rather than yourself.

Electricity output is the single best proxy for industrial capacity
🇨🇳 China now generates 40% more electricity than the US and EU combined.

Jacob Rees Mogg talks about how the Labour Party and specifically Keir Starmer are terrified of voters and this is why they are cancelling elections. 👏👏 Starmer is Frightened of Voters but he is Terrified of Reform. Cancelling voting is not a democracy it’s a dictatorship.

LibDem Wera “fighting for” British bike manufacturers while buying a German bike for herself sums her right up…

I want my daughters to live in a country where their right to single-sex spaces isn’t under attack from their own government.
I want my daughter to grow up in a Britain where she feels safe in school, online, and in relationships. Every young girl deserves that, and every young boy should be protected from harmful misogynistic influences. My government is making that happen, by backing teachers, calling out misogyny and intervening early. We can stop harm before it starts and save a generation of young men from the influence of online misogynists.

Same old Libdems - always lying. 1. The funding was NOT "awarded after a bid from @Bathnes Lib Dem administration". There was no bid. The central govt allocated these funds. 2. And the govt havent "excluded.. Whiteway". The local board will choose the boundary.

I think planning conditions & obligations “run with the land” and continue to apply regardless of who occupies the building. So a relaxation of the condition of no cars needs to be sought via an application to vary/remove the condition. I dont see one.
The developer of these hutches obtained permission only as a car-free development. Each student tenancy lease specifies that it is car-free, and tenants are not allowed to bring a car into Bath. Will the same apply to tourists?
