This individual is a disgrace. Not satisfied with crashing the economy with her disastrous policies during her very short stint as PM here she is again spouting yet more nonsense.

I would say to the Home Secretary if you continue to try Reform lite as a methodology then you will end up losing more voters. More will got to Lib Dem’s and Greens and current Reform voters simply won’t vote for cheap copies. Why vote for fake racism when you can vote for proper racism?

A few moments along the Harnham water meadows today - hardly a soul about in the wet drizzle.
It was good to see that the Little Egret was successfully fishing in one of the drainage dykes, which was flowing faster than normal.
In the Avon, 7 swans-a-swimming, (one AWOL..)

I hate this expectation that children have to be in school when they are ill. Pupils who feel poorly can’t work and are just miserable, they aren’t adults who understand and can dose themselves up. We can’t give them Calpol to help make them feel better. The world of education has gone mad.
