Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Capping political donations is free, popular and the right thing to do to protect British democracy from Elon Musk and his fellow travellers.

Yes! - this! It’s our tax money. I want the fraudsters and profiteers found and brought to justice promptly and I want our money back to fund our public services.

Rachel Reeves: "The cost to the taxpayer of Covid fraud is estimated at £7.2bn. Every cheque signed by Rishi Sunak...We'll appoint a Covid corruption commissioner, a hit squad of investigators...to take the fraudsters to court...We want that money back."

This is heartening. I hope Labour will continue to neuter the Tories by promising to undo more of their abhorrent policies.

Most important thing Starmer said this morning is confirming that even if Rwanda plan is declared legal by Supreme Court, he will reverse it.
