This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
Lib Dem voter here who doesn't think this is worth fussing about, especially when there are so many other more important issues facing the world right now!
Congratulations! (Will Mthr Jo continue to teach in Mirfield?)
Gorgeous!
Always enjoy your Sunday posts. Great photos too, that bring the area to life.

Changes w/ 2025.
The more the public gets a taste of Reform UK Ltd, the more they don’t want it
Looking for some writing gig work. If anyone has any leads, I would be grateful.
My job was recently terminated, so in need of something to help me get through til another job lines up, or I get published.
So, we’re spending U.K. tax payer money to go and get people who left the U.K. because they didn’t want to pay tax? The same people who are now immigrants in another country yet blame immigrants here for every problem?!?
Holiday makers yes, tax dodgers…..fund it yourself.
And thirdly...how many MAGA ever intend visiting the UK?
Better than when they announce boarding only 5 mins before departure - not an easy race for the infirm, those with masses of luggage or small children.
On this Disability Day of Mourning, let’s honor Wael Tarabishi, a disabled man who died when ICE took his caregiver away.
Wael told them he would die without his father who was his “arms, legs & lungs”.
ICE took him anyways.
Wael died 3 months later:

The day after a by-election in the UK and as truth flirts with fake news and fedupedness with ItoldYouSoism social media is crying out for a standardised way to denote sarcasm
C’mon content creators help your audience out here 😃
Great photos, especially the one with Bowie.
Some quick wins for Royal Fam to win back a bit of respect
1. Offer to pay tax & show tax returns
2. Stop charging public for prisons etc you own
3. Try explaining for a change
4. Get rid of the hangers on
5. Donate a couple of palaces
6. Give Buck Palace gardens to public
Wonderful colours and design!
Time for some new #knitting. Just downloaded this pattern for a Norwegian Resistance Hat, originally protesting against the Nazis in WW2, now repurposed as a 'Melt the ICE' statement. But please someone, tell me a good rebellious wool to get. I am tricoteuse. TY 🧶

Great colours, great patterns.
Not one single Sunday front page showcasing our PMs speech yesterday.
Not one.
The fact that Lyse Douchet's salary is lower than Mason's or Kuenssberg's shames the BBC.
After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings.
This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.
Labour are having a radical week. Not necessarily for what you think.
They’ve introduced measures to stop MPs having Second jobs (or 9).
They’re also introducing a restriction on donations to political parties from foreign donors.
Change is coming.
Expect loud noise.
There absolutely should be more resignations today.

Would be a good start.
Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.
How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?
Two massive announcements this week for Labour with direct impact on every one of us. The Cancer Care Plan and the Pride of Place levelling up. Our Government busy making our Country better and our life chances better than ever after a cancer diagnosis. Well done to
Our PM.

We The People know.
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.
