Headline: Lancashire’s Reform-run council plans to close care homes and day centres

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.

We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

I really enjoy the books but struggle with how I feel about her as a person.

I immediately thought season 4 too. I totally agree about Michael. I Love me some Hagerty!

Ooh yummy.

I made a banana and chocolate loaf in my slow cooker. It's edible. I'm happy.

Truth.

I just used a cheese scone recipe off BBC food and added beetroot. It needed a bit of extra flour but otherwise as written.

Eleven small, round ish scones on a cooling tray. They are browned with a hint of pink.

Had a go at baking cheese and beetroot scones today. They taste OK 😋

Ooh, that sounds interesting.

It's about standard. Enjoyable enough, easy plot to follow so it can survive me not reading any for days. It's not recommend to other people brilliant.

It told a compelling story of something I knew nothing about. It hit me in all the feels.

A book spread open on a cushion.

I'm reading (or not since I've had a hectic couple of weeks) The Smoke Hunter by Jacquelyn Benson

Brotherless Night was my favourite read last year. I devoured it in one day.

Sounds very entertaining. I'll add it to my list.

Imagine being Shadow Justice Secretary and being this ignorant of your brief.

It’s akin to a UK sports minister tweeting about “our national soccer ball game with the famous oval ball”.

It’s a toss up whether Jenrick’s most unappealing feature is his dishonesty or his thickness.

What's everyone reading this weekend?

@jaro4man.bsky.social Hi Jan and thanks for joining over here too. I'll see how things go and migrate if enough people join us. It's taken a long time to build our community and I don't want to lose all our friends - but hopefully we'll also find lots more over here. All book lovers welcome 🙂

I saw the advert but wasn't inspired to watch it. The book is very engrossing. What is yours about?

I'm lazing in bed reading too. Off to watch rugby later. I'm currently getting to know Mary Bennet.

I'm trying to transition over, too, but twitter is such a habit. I'll read anything but horror. I love good alternative history books. Right now I'm reading about Mary Bennet.
