Conservatives Promote JCB's 'Revolutionary' Pothole Machine While Taking Millions of Pounds in Donations from the Company
Senior Conservatives have repeatedly promoted a pothole repair machine made by a company which has donated huge sums to the party and its MPs
Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".
He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Iβve knitted for 50 years and always ignored patterns knitted in the round as I just didnβt get it. A new wool shop has opened nearby so I picked an easy baby sweater pattern, went to the shop bought circular needles and sat in there while the lovely staff showed me how easy it actually is!

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!?
Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

We hope you can join us tomorrow, as we conduct an act of remembrance for the fallen of EFC and all those linked to the club (and the other Everton clubs) impacted in times of conflict.
Start time, 10:45am by the Dixie Dean statue.

Ugh hope you feel better today. I had to do a speeding awareness course a few years ago. First ticket Iβve had in 40+ years of driving. Annoying but it wasnβt really a chore, quite interesting in fact.
