So sorry to hear about Helenโ€™s dementia- a cruel illness. Stockport Against the Missiles met at the Quaker Meeting House. Lovely people.

Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?

Matt Goodwin is running: the search for Reformโ€™s elusive byelection candidate Nigel Farageโ€™s man in Gorton and Denton has a huge public platform, and a taste for culture war. What happens when he concerns himself with bin collections?

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Iโ€™m sure the Sunday morning politics shows canโ€™t wait to raise this with Reform UK's Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick when he does the interview round in the morning

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations โ€œscrewed upโ€ giving students access to so much technology: โ€œI genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.โ€

Now THAT's a headline.

Matt Goodwin accused of sexual harrassment at GB News, GB News brushes it under the carpet.

Nigel Farage says "That's just Matt being Matt."

Who the hell would vote for that, imagine what they would be up to if they were in power?

๐ŸŽ‚Happy birthday to the CND symbol - which turns 68 today!

โ˜ฎ๏ธCreated by Gerald Holtom in 1958, the design incorporated the flag semaphore for the letters N and D to stand for Nuclear Disarmament. However, it quickly gained a wider meaning as a symbol of peace and hope!
