Still surprised at how far to the right Labour has moved, and how racism is now a core part of its output. Keir Starmer was once a human rights lawyer, or at least that’s what he tells us…..

What makes anyone think Charles and Establishment would treat them differently now? They wouldn’t, because Charles wouldn’t like that….

This LD decision has literally ruined the financial security, and lives, of generations of young people. LD refuse to recognise that, and tell us that leopards change their spots..

Please meet Tim Nott, the chair of the Reform UK Party in Bath.
He likes to do..."acting." (yes, that is him.)
Like much of the rest of country I've *really* enjoyed the Winter Olympics, but this is an important cautionary tale by Andy Bull for the Guardian.

Ahem, I hope you won’t take this the wrong way, but, the massive problems we now have began with the Leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg who determinedly forced through student loan charges in Parliament, after promising never, ever to do so.
Why should your party ever be believed again?
This appointment is looking decidedly dodgy. Chanel 4 news has been reporting concerns of her past behaviour, now we find she has links to Palantir.
Another Starmer misjudgement about on the horizon.
Insightful reporting by David Allen Green at the Financial Times on why Palantir data-analytics defence contracts with UK government should raise concern.

As an aside I sent a £25 value large letter to Ireland, it cost £15 at the other end in customs charges since the UK is out with the EU. Regulations have reasons

Pancake in the pan ready for lathering in sugar and lemon only.
Our old pancake pan left us last year, forgotten so no replacement found. Cue use of enormous pan not really suited but Wow! New pancake pan no longer required, just stronger wrist when tossing. Sugar and lemon only, gorgeous
