If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

'They will get me killed': Mothin Ali slams Starmer and Tory MP over smears in parliament Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke falsely claimed Green Party deputy leader had been 'protesting in support of the ayatollah'

Just when you thought Labour couldn’t get deeper down in the gutter, when Mothin Ali was subject to a false and blatantly Islamophobic attack by a Tory MP, Starmer went along with it

The Quantity Theory of Morality by Will Self review – raucously inventive state-of-the-nation satire Thirty-five years on from his debut collection The Quantity Theory of Insanity, Self takes aim at London’s chattering classes in an excoriating vision of moral decline

Will give this a go. He can still be good www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

The baseless innuendo of β€œfamilyΒ voting” The extraordinary decision by Democracy Volunteers to shroudwave about "family voting" for the Gorton and Denton by-election has damaged both trust in the political system and harmed race relations.

My cat died nearly two years ago but in the spring when the bluebells start to come up all over my "lawn" I can still clearly see the path he made through them down to his favourite place. I always forget it's there and am always so happy to see it
