Just heartbreaking news from Jasper. Hard to believe I was there just 3 weeks ago. My thoughts today are with all those people, businesses - and of course all the animals - whose lives have been utterly devastated in the space of a few days.

Another 10% rent increase for us this year (from a landlord who owns flat outright, mind you, and has done since the ‘90s, when he bought it for a pittance). No signs of rent inflation slowing down here in Falmouth, @moving_charlie

A fantastic piece full of truth by @TanyaGold1 here on west Cornwall's election landscape - and the hidden realities behind it.

I was knocked sideways this afternoon to hear the news about @ScottWamplerRIP. He & @EricVespe have given me - and so many others - many happy hours listening to the @Kingcast19. Im sorry to say didn’t know him personally, but he felt like a friend. All I can say is… thank you.

Well this has made my day. A RT from all-round legend and H2O hero @Feargal_Sharkey.
It's come to this, an annual event. In the run up to the spring bank holiday national newspapers telling people where they and their kids can swim without wallowing in their own waste. "15 clean beaches and waterways in the UK for sewage-free swimming." https://t.co/E05hqdkQx3

Would someone please just put @Feargal_Sharkey in charge. The man is a prince and a scholar. Make him Water Tsar now and I reckon he’d clean up the mess pretty darn swift like
Feargal Sharkey: "The water industry can say what it likes, but the reality & people's experience is very different from what the industry has to say... quite frankly, privatisation has been a scam & we've been had." #BBCBreakfast

I like to write thought-provoking stories about unusual places, intriguing subjects & inspiring people. It feels like there should be a market for that which doesn't involve spending hours every week throwing hail-mary pitches into the faceless internet void. #freelance #writing

This is such a depressing read. As I’ve said before, it’s always someone else who’s causing the problem. Time people took some responsibility, I think.

The charity @emptyhomes says more than one in 14 homes in #Cornwall is not lived in - that's over 20,000 lying empty. It warns: "Cornwall is being left behind by a lack of action." https://t.co/KflcIdOJTl

Gone right fucking off Galadriel. Thanks for building another total monstrosity on Mawgan Porth. Just as long as you get a nice view, stuff everyone else. When will it end.

Another profoundly depressing sign of the madness that is housing in Cornwall. £57.5k for a trailer. @cornwallcouncil @moving_charlie
