SO retired at start of year. Yesterday, I needed a ceiling shade cleaned I couldn’t reach and when I asked later if it had been done…it had. I’m not used to this things getting done when I ask and not have to spend 3 weeks ‘reminding’.

Reform with 5 MP's gets more TV and Newspaper coverage than the Greens, SNP, Independents and Lib Dems combined.
This is because Reform is owned by the billionaires who own the Media.

During the election, Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300.
Instead, they’ve increased them - and bills are rising again by 6.4% in April.
Scotland is an energy-rich nation and the fact we’re paying sky-high prices is Westminster failure in action. We deserve better.

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.
