Porter on the railway platform pulls a trolley directly towards the viewer. Beside him is an open train door, and the person behind it part visible in the glass.

I hear what your saying and after mostly voting Labour for 26 years i switched to green last time. I think a new party has as much chance as the greens and I hope they might work together this time. I don't hold out a lot of hope, but I've always voted with my heart.

There are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK.

Meanwhile, there are more British billionaires than ever before.

I think we should tax the rich to lift children out of poverty. Why is that such a radical idea?

This stunning image of NGC 6302, the Butterfly Nebula, captures a dying star ejecting gas at 600,000 mph, heated to 36,000Β°F. Hidden behind a dense dust ring, the star’s core reaches 400,000Β°F, making it one of the hottest known in the galaxy.

A farmer is covering his hay wagon in the distance of this picture as a storm breaks. The sky is an inky grey, contrasted with the cheerful pink of the fox gloves in the foreground.

Fair dos, thats why it was a "wonder". I just figured it would keep the private business element at arms length.

I've wondered why the NHS could not have charged in house, for these now scrapped procedures. Obviously its not ideal or popular, but neither's this.

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens.

After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

Really loved the garden gang, I often had the cassette and book sets. I remember finding it inspiring that a 9 year old could write a book.

Don't rant about leaf blowers, dont rant about leaf blowers, dont ra...leaf blowers are the most pointless and annoying peice of equipment used by landscape gardeners. If don't agree you're wrong. I will die on this hill mainly of migrane.

β€œDanger of abuse in the NHS is always at the point where private commercialism impinges on the Service..Abuse occurs where an attempt is made to marry the incompatible principles of private acquisitiveness with a public service..The solution is to decrease the dependence on private enterprise”-Bevan
