@Freddtaylor1st @shepardo43 @Turnditch_Man @HughEdw31897368 @BBCNews The research I did so far is.... The highest peak was 2023 when 400 were in use. By July 2024 that number had reduced to 216. The figure at the end of January was 219 and is still around that figure. More closures are planned for mid-March. Should be interesting...

@Freddtaylor1st @shepardo43 @Turnditch_Man @HughEdw31897368 @BBCNews I'll try and find a definitive number for you by research. In the meantime, it used to require 400 hotels to accommodate them under the Tories, now it requires 218.

@Trumpotd @nickgray123 @floboflo 👍

@Trumpotd @floboflo Flo is a gem.

@sturdyAlex All of this "corruption and waste" the boy wonder found in USAid before they decided to scrap it... Will they ever be required to provide evidence of said "Corruption and waste" or is it enough that Trump said it?

@floboflo hmmm... I went to 4 Man Bobsleigh School in Nottingham... do you think that is of any significance.

I don't know why I am posting this as I am sure it will simply be a futile attempt to correct misinformation about "cancelled" elections. The article is long but provides current and historical context. Full-fact - Council elections 2025

@DickDelingpole The BBC don't receive funding from the US. The BBC Media Action Charity was the recipient of some funds from USAid, but it has nothing to do with the broadcasting arm. Trump won't be bothered about BBC not portraying him favourably, nobody apart from Fox News does either.

@TheWesternIntel Wow... the 16 or so featured here look a really vicious bunch. 🤣 The threat is palpable. I guess that's why there was the need for the massive police presence to contain them.

@BZGourz @jawadakhanmd @tizintest @VerminusM Before the 1940's the British Balfour Declaration had already stipulated that the area known as Palestine would be the new Jewish homeland. Where the incoming Jews would have all of the Political rights... Arabs would have none. It was all about replacement from the start.

@justdave89now I think I am setting off security alarms as I leave shops. It could be just down to the hidden merchandise though.

@justdave89now Nada, zero, zilch, nothing, bugger all. Not so much as a slight irritation at the needle site. and still not dead yet.

@GyllKing @floboflo Or even, "live and let live". 😒

@floboflo @AngelusMerula @CarrotteG Yes... but only a bit.

@DrChrisParry Yup, pour yourself a glass of something you like, then sit back and wait for four and a half years. Then vote.... enjoy!

@ElizabethBangs Hysteria is the new calm. Nothing is a problem, it has to be a CRISIS... We can't have an issue, it has to be the worst problem in history... I think it is mainly due to RW hysterical press loving to make the news rather than report it. We have to have a daily meltdown.

@SuellaBraverman Were you mis-sold a Brexit between 2018 and 2021? Were you expecting a sunlit upland but finished up with a damp squib? Were you promised "the world is your Oyster" but you can't even sell your Clams. Talk to this lady... one of the many lying culprits.
