Aside from the Twitter/X widget bloat, UK councils continue to put increasingly *huge* images on their homepages with no thought for the fact every visitor will need to load them. The London Borough of Newham have included a 16667x5000px image of their mayor which comes in at over 14MB https://www.newham.gov.uk/images/Updated_Mayor_s_Website_Banner.jpg #Newham

Well done everyone in Newham. It would have been wonderful to have a great result to celebrate, but local circumstances are always different, and I know you did everything to offer people a good choice. 😘💚

Amazing response on the doorstep. People fed up with a one-party state council. Greens in the room make all the difference. @NewhamGreens @joehudsonsmall
