What utter clowns at Shoot Bamboo photography. pathetic school photos of Calum- no engagement, no care- and the photos are 90% wheelchair and 10% child. They provide photos capturing smiles that endure a lifetime, apparently. What a load of absolute bull. Compare with one taken on a phone by us.

What a fantastic week we’ve had in Northumberland- as always beautiful beaches, great vibrant villages and a warm welcome. Wonderful to find wheelchair accessible accommodation to suit Calum so well too.

If only she’d shown such leadership when she might have had the chance, maybe when, you know, she was the actual Prime Minister. Instead of wasting the qualities she undoubtedly brought to the role chasing the Brexit disaster.

Prime Minister: Don’t Cut Aid, Tax Wealth The prime minister has announced a brutal 40% cut to the UK aid budget, in the wake of Donald Trump’s calls for increased military spending. It's a wrong-headed move that represents a retreat from

This asshole is:

1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does;

2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and

3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.

More than one in three children in poverty as UK deprivation hits record high | Poverty | The Guardian Exclusive: Study finds almost quarter of UK population living in poverty, reaching the highest level this century

β€œMore than one in three children in poverty as UK deprivation hits record high.”

This is not inevitable, and it is not irreversible.

Both main parties have just decided that some children deserve to grow up in poverty.

I'm not exaggerating: as a historian I consider it to be historical fact that this is one of the most shameful documents in the history of the United States.

It's a concession by federal law enforcement that there's no means available to it to punish one of the biggest traitors in American history.
