Like a bus you are unlikely to find one that will drop you off at your door, you have to pick the party that will get you closest to your destination. For me that is independence and the bus SNP.

A stroll down Manchester's Oxford Road before teaching this evening. Crowds of students of every complexion & from all parts of the world. The road almost free of cars - just pedestrians, cyclists and the odd electric bus. New green spaces in abundance. An intensely heartening antidote to Farageism.

Wow, and knocking 1976 out of the top 5. That's really pause for thought
Provisional statistics from the Met Office show that summer 2025 will ‘almost certainly’ be the warmest summer on record for the UK.
It would move 2018 off the top spot and relegate 1976 out of the top five warmest summer in a series which dates back to 1884.
