[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweet… 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph… 12 [We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Andrew Windsor (the one formerly known as Prince Andrew) could go some way to redeeming himself by admitting what he knows and naming names associated with Epstein. He won't as the code these people live by calls them to protect each other rather than provide justice for the victims.

Thinking we should have no kings rallies in the UK as well.

The failure of migrants to integrate into a population isn't because they don't want to, it is because the natives don't want them to forcing them to seek refuge together.

Makes you wonder how many names are in the Epstein files that this goes unchallenged? He only has power as long as other kowtow to him.

How many GOP senators appear in the Epstein files? I can only assume DJT threatens to release it should they not continue to back him.

That is his plan. Then he can argue that it has failed and privatise healthcare.

Keir Starmer to launch progressive fightback against ‘decline and division’ fuelled by far right Prime minister expected to warn UK is ‘at a crossroads’ as he sets out plan to counter Nigel Farage and Reform

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It is not enough for Starmer to just argue with Farage. He needs to treat GB News as a news channel, balance the BBC board, stop MP's having second jobs while in office and make leaders airtime on news and political shows proportional to seats held. Farage is being pushed as some sort of saviour.

Ed Davey has written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join him in condemning Elon Musk's remarks yesterday

The bravery of the Epstein victims is incredible. That they are having to come forward in this way to get justice is disgraceful.

Can’t get enough of this. @raskin.house.gov rubbing Nigel Farage’s nose in his self-confessed love of Putin as he’s forced to sit & watch is delicious beyond words

This is such a good piece, absolutely vital reading

Things Richard Tice could learn from the Bible | Letters Letters: Some lessons on Christianity and providing shelter to those in need from Rev Richard Stainer. Plus an idea from Sal Mansfield on repurposing church buildings to house asylum seekers

A couple of good letters in today's Guardian. It is not possible to claim to be Christian and hate immigrants. While I'm on it there is no Biblical basis for the rich not to pay taxes either.

Sadly, I have spoken to many who think it is out of date and not relevant today. Labour need to take control of the discussion and put the lid back on the racist views before they become acceptable (if it is not already too late).

Imagine being so ashamed of the job you do that you have to hide your face.

Not my favourite word.

I endorse this message. Well said @markfergusonmp.bsky.social on why the fabric of the flag should be something to unite, not divide

There is a little island I know off Ireland where you could escape the world...

What makes this criminal damage acceptable? Sometimes red paint can get you 14 years. Sometimes it is tolerated. When did intimidating your neighbours become acceptable?

14 years for red paint if you're an activist. Zero arrests for red paint when it's used to intimidate immigrants in our communities. Prof Richard Murphy re-examines the idea of two-tier policing.

This should hit hard but won't with some.

Dominic Grieve. 👏👏👏

Politically acceptable UK racism is rising, even under La... As I wrote these words last autumn: “We have made progress... even though that progress remains fragile and insufficient”, little did I realise just how ...

The reluctance to silence far right voices and use terrorist laws against them may be a mistake we live to regret. Kowtowing to them just emboldens them.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has unveiled his plan for the mass deportation of small boat arrivals:

To achieve it, Farage says the UK would leave the ECHR and other treaties (including the UN torture convention),

And people say Labour is the same as Reform!

This is what you get if you split the vote!

Putin believes Trump will force Ukraine to accept a piece on Putin's terms. Trump sees himself as a peacemaker but in truth he is like Chamberlain conceding to a tyrant who has no interest in maintaining peace.

Grand Designs: the loss of American freedom Exactly seven months into Trump's second term, we have reached 1000 authoritarian actions. Here I lay out the enormity of what has happened.

🚨1000 authoritarian actions. 7 months🚨

I've been tracking Trump's authoritarian actions. From dismantling democratic institutions to militarising immigration enforcement, Trump is reshaping America.

In my new post I highlight key authoriarian attacks

Maybe he had a get out claws...

Musk should never be allowed to control critical infrastructure. Remember he turned off Starlink to Ukraine when Russia invaded. Please act to stop him.
