I love the sea and bright blue skies but live in Shropshire. (Yes, it is beautiful but landlocked!) Retired teacher, quite political. Definitely 'Woke' but why be anything else. (Rhetorical!) Writer of traditional pantomime scripts. "Oh, yes, I am!"

Appaz letting agent told Reeves they’d let her know if she needed a permit, and didn’t tell her so..

I find it perfectly believabl based on experience of estate agents where gross negligence didn’t touch on how bad 2 agencies were..

Farage will demand she’s fired.. but schh re his #Clacton house🙄

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

If states want to force women to watch ultrasounds before receiving an abortion, then states SHOULD force gun nuts to watch videos of kids being murdered in schools before buying firearms.

I'd sooner trust a stoned monkey with a bag of hand grenades than this lot with the economy.
Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?
