@vervalleysoc.bsky.social We were 37 strong this morning at River Ver near Drop Lane. Our team cleared some fallen trees across the stream. It was hard but satisfying work.

It was hard work but very rewarding. Seeing the water levels drop after clearing a blockage must be one of the most rewarding moments. Looks forward to many more activities in 2026. Love volunteering with these folks. @vervalleysoc.bsky.social

These are the 3 leaders of the biggest opposition parties at Westminster - Kemi Badenoch (121 seats), Ed Davey (72 seats) & Stephen Flynn (9 seats) meanwhile Adrian Ramsey leads Greens with 4 seats. How often do they get reported compared to Nigel Farage (5 seats)? Time to demand fair coverage NOW
