Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

With the introduction to the unlikely concept of a 'laughter of innkeepers', the image of an arm wrestling bout between #Burnham v #Badenoch and monitoring #Reform activities in Essex @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social is the essential start to the w/end.

The ever acerbic Pecksniff wonders whether Sir Keir's farewell party ran out of beer just as Angela Rayner walked into Downing Street... Is Burnham ushering in a new politics while Badenoch has red lines? And why is Reform suddenly nervous about Clacton? Read on...

This article captures the true spirit of #NorwichPride.

East Anglia Bylines@eastangliabylines.co.uk · last wk.

What was the real story of Norwich Pride? Not the rows over flags or politics, argues Kit Marie Rackley, but the thousands of people who came together to celebrate, support one another and be heard.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Today is norwichpride.org.uk While #Reform councillors at #NorfolkCountyCouncil may huff & puff & ban the flying of the Pride flag at its council HQ, #Norwich remains #inclusive, joyous & #resilient. Love this city.

Cautious optimism from @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social this week & a measured analysis of the 'Burnham bounce'. Louise Haigh as a #Valkyrie is a splendid description.

East Anglia Bylines@eastangliabylines.co.uk · 2w ago

This week our cheerfully cynical Pecksniff: - lifts the lid on Burnham's surprisingly unconventional approach to choosing his cabinet. - joins the Muckrakers as they size up Labour's new government. - suspects Louise Haigh's influence may be greater than many realise. & that's just to start..

Five years ago today, East Anglia Bylines published its first edition. Five years later, we're still exposing stories others miss, still run entirely by volunteers, & still going strong thanks to our writers & you, our readers. Here's to the next 5 years! 🥂

RIP #EdStourton one of the kindest & most insightful journos I have ever known.

@pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social shines his usual perspicacious eye on the current #political scene. From #Burnham to #Farage to the local Ramsey #Reform councillor & 'prize chump' #RyanCoogan , a renowned keyboard warrior.

From the acerbic Mr Pecksniff: * Andy Burnham promises to reverse 40 years of political thinking. Can he succeed? * Farage's Clacton gamble looks increasingly uncomfortable. * Ryan Coogan discovers a surprising use for the word "love".

At one point yesterday, nearly 3/4 of electricity generation was from renewables. I wonder what it will be today? It’s sunny and breezy in the east. Check grid.iamkate.com

1990 true story. Man arrives for interview. Woman is sat on secretary's desk having a chat. Man hands woman his briefcase and sits down to wait. Called to interview and the interviewer is the woman who'd been sitting on the desk. Man doesn't get the job.

With Reform in disarray under the auspices of #Farage, @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social derides the party at both #national & #local level. @countbinface.bsky.social may indeed have his day on terra firma & in space.

East Anglia Bylines@eastangliabylines.co.uk · 4w ago

The latest from the ever-incisive Pecksniff... * Is this the beginning of the end for Nigel Farage? * Plus Count Binface, Burnham and the latest political absurdities. Enjoy your Saturday Pecksniff's Diary

This is a fascinating article. Well worth a read ⤵️

Plants can hear. They can also smell, taste, touch... and even count. No, really. The science behind one of nature's most surprising discoveries: Nigel Chaffey tells all.

Byline Times might be the only substantial, ongoing historical record of Farage F-ups. The Observer might've too if the Scott Trust Ltd hadn't ballsed that right up. Every other news outlet looked the other way on this. The cops never bothered investigating, so Peter Jukes did their job for 'em.

Shame that #Trump has evaporated any #hope of "the pursuit of happiness," for so many. What a #hypocrite.

Of sociopathy, constipation and downright buffoonery, @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social has his sharpened nib & beady eye on all political miscreants. For ribald laughter & concise prose - this could be the start of your w/end. Enjoy!

Another week, another extraordinary instalment from Pecksniff. * Burnham shuts out the hacks to own the story * Reform councillors discover governing is harder than campaigning * Troubles in Huntingdon * Nudists vs South Norfolk Council – yes, really ....

‘Nigel. We think it’s time you gave up leadership of Reform. Us youngsters are ready to take over. You’ve done so well but it’s now time to get well, enjoy your 5 houses and maybe pay a little visit to Clacton to recuperate. Now rest & keep taking those incontinence tablets.’ 👴

Reform won control of three county councils in May. Now it's spending £1.5mn of taxpayers' money trying to stop local government reorganisation – despite making no mention of it in its election manifesto. Our latest analysis looks at what's happening, why, and what comes next ⤵️

Reform’s million-pound challenge to the government

Reform councillors are trying to block local government changes in the East. And in Norfolk this appears to be without council authority.

A council meeting to debate scrapping West Norfolk's climate emergency was postponed because the chamber was too hot. Sometimes reality has impeccable timing. Our latest - Henry Durand reports

Mr Pecksniff has returned & The Muckrakers Arms remains fully stocked for another week of political news. Is Farage's wine-and-roses moment ending? Is Badenoch's shrinking Tory party now with more Remainers than Brexiters? And what of Jess Asato, Ryan Coogan & Labour dreams? Read on...
