I was a paper candidate for the Green Party many years ago, but I had to withdraw from volunteering my name for this May because my current circumstances don’t allow me to become a councillor by accident, a likely scenario

I also have a few boxes of original 1930’s 1950’ deadstock milliners flowers - for hats, fascinators, corsages. If anyone is interested in these let me know! #fashionhistory #vintagedeadstock #vintagefashion

Hi RR xx (must do something typographic for you using the RR)

LOVE the idea of testing the "doneness" with a strand of raw spaghetti - working cooking just to do that @rachelaliceroddy.bsky.social

great news and makes me think about shopping centres as heritage. Who wants to bet on the next to be listed, because the Trafford Centre is only 2 years away from elligibility....

Needing distraction- tried Great British Menu, unwatchable - keep thinking of The Hunger Games #greatbritishmenu

Essential for self preservation at the moment

I’d add parents whose child has just started school - we were ill for about a year, constantly, but we must’ve had some fabulous antibodies by the end. All gone now.

Paradise - here it is in N. Wales - found it at last.

So good !!

Pro-Israel BBC News presenters have never looked so out of touch when interviewing Zack Polanski this morning. If only they’d treated Farage in a similar fashion years ago Reform might not exist.

Great piece. I like her back story of why she became a city planner, the perfect start for a pie maker.

Tactical voting needs to become a national sport.
As a socialist I’d even reluctantly vote Tory to keep out Reform - it’s that important.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Wouldn't go if you paid me
