This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Despite spending my working life in cancer care and witnessing many deaths, I never considered my own mortality until after I retired.

Good morning, I was just searching and wondering if I had missed Roll Call.
Glorious day yesterday, the sun shone and it was strangely warm. Finished sorting out the pile of post which had accumulated while I was away.. I never like having to come back to that.
Hoping for sun again today.

I’ve heard they eat the mega spiders so, maybe, they can stay a while. One of my cats was chasing one of the huge ones round a couple of nights ago, didn’t seem keen to eat it though.

I suppose, coming up to Halloween, I could leave them for a while 🤔

Morning all. I think the wind has finally died down. Need to get up and feed my boys.
My house seems to have been taken over by those spindly legged spiders and their fine webs.
Chiropodist this afternoon, son coming over this evening.

At least 860 UK healthcare workers died of covid-19 and the British Medical Association says the true number is likely to be higher. Yet Michelle Mone unashamedly defends her cynical profiteering.

If you liked Brexit, you're going to love what the Conservatives want next | Polly Toynbee Leaving the ECHR could mean higher food prices and an even bigger blow to trade. The Tories' new proposals will end the party for good, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

🇬🇧 🇪🇺 "Labour has found its voice against Faragism and racism. Now they need to challenge the right on leaving the ECHR, which would be a terrible reprise to the crippling damage of Brexit. Ask the hauliers."

My first was Astra-Zeneca, knocked me out for 48hrs. Blinding headaches, aches, shivers, no sleep. All I did was lie on the floor in front of the fire with bottles of water and 4hourly paracetamol.
Yesterday’s was Pfizer. I start taking paracetamol just before I go for the injection.

I had a power nap yesterday afternoon..might have another today 😴

I hope so 🤞

Good morning. Very dark start to the day and it sounds as though it’s still blowing a gale. Woke somewhere between 1 & 2 headache, aching and shivering, more paracetamol needed. Think I’m over the worst of the reaction to my Covid booster now 🤞

It’s certainly blowing a hoolie out there. I’ve been for my Covid booster, some branches down on the side of the road.
Village coffee morning in about an hour then batten down the hatches and cosy up with the cats for the rest of the day.

No other country set up a VIP Lane during the pandemic.

No other European country came close to spending the £14billion we spent on PPE.

£10billion of PPE has been written off.

Over 1million pallets of unused PPE have now been incinerated!

£billions literally up in smoke.

I’m having flu next Saturday. Was advised not to have the two together because of the reactions I’ve had in the past.

That’s so very sad and shocking. We really have no idea what the future holds do we.

Good morning, No orange sunrise this morning, it’s looking very grey. Cats have been fed and my first mug of tea is made..the only way to start the day.
Covid booster tomorrow morning, I’ve had bad reactions in the past so now take Paracetamol prophylactically.
Have a good weekend.

I’m sure I’ve heard folk songs celebrating the Tolpuddle Martyrs.

Good morning. The days are flying by. Hairdresser told me I have an appointment in the middle of November and the one after that will be Christmas 😬!
A trip to the tip today, such excitement.
Need to get my head in the right place to work on losing the extra pounds I put on in Italy!

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳

I might have to rewatch an episode and concentrate more.

That’s really early for a Zoom call 🫩

It really is a tangled web. A bit confused with all the ins and outs of the murder of Daniel Morgan. 😵‍💫

Good morning Hilary and all. It’s very dark this morning, not sure if I hear rain. Back into the routine of Zoom Yoga.
Watched the first episode of Series 2 of Educating Yorkshire. Mr Burton has been promoted to headmaster 👍

David Tennant’s curls and Toby Jones’ head of hair. I agree, it didn’t grip me, but I’ll persevere.

Good morning all. Awake, cats fed, very orange sunrise. Haircut today.
I’ve started watching The Hack. Murdoch should have been destroyed by this scandal but he’s just as powerful as he ever was!

I don’t really follow golf but so proud of the way they came through despite all the barracking and harassment.
