Car parks and on-street parking bays Information on on-street pay and display machine faults, on-street parking and details of who is responsible for managing off-street parking.

Don't know if it's still useful but if you scroll down a bit - this purports to be a list of Woking shops selling parking vouchers:

Not denying what you say, Bruce - but that rocker has not picked a particularly intimidating weapon.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Yeah - I was just being silly. It is a wonderful photograph - like so many by Beth Lesser. Loving the trousers! Pretty sure I've seen Bowie wearing similar statement strides

Yes - of course he should recommit to net zero. But even if he does, it's going to be pretty hard to trust that he won't simply drop it again if he feels that's politically expedient.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
