There was no possibility of taking a walk that day as I had foolishly neglected to visit GO OUTDOORS and purchase the Woman’s Courchevel Waterproof Insulated Jacket. But you can, and get a bonus 10% off if you text JANE10 at checkout.

Maybe the "Duchy of Cornwall" (ie Prince William) could cancel the lease rather than pocketing £100 million of taxpayer money for knowingly renting out a building not fit for human accommodation?

MPs criticise 10-year deal struck in ‘blind panic’ to rent Dartmoor prison, where high levels of radon had been detected
A “catastrophic” decision by the Ministry of Justice to sign a 10-year lease on a prison where high levels of a poisonous gas had been detected is expected to cost the UK taxpayer more than £100m, parliament’s spending watchdog has concluded.

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego.
Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.

At political cabinet today, Morgan McSweeney gave a presentation on “three Es” on how the government can connect with voters - emotion, empathy and evidence.
