This illustrates how wise @nickdacosta.bsky.social was to make sure that the trial of auto subtitling of speakers at Lib Dem conference was done on a smaller screen at the side.
I don't understand what is written on the screen in this photo, but it gives me life. Is it Dostoevsky?

The huge pile of illegally dumped waste by the A34 in Kidlington is utterly shocking.
Yesterday a Govt Minister agreed to meet me, I will ask her to step in to remove this terrifying environmental risk.
I’ve also raised this as an urgent matter with the Chief Exec of the Environment Agency.

It is common sense that refugees who have lived in Britain for a long time, and built lives here, should be able to stay.
Labour, cowering from Reform, are planning to break that principle.

Question on Monday
Is it now your principle that every Ukranian refugee in Britain should leave, must leave once it is safe + that they will all be made to leave?
