I wonder what the real reason is that it's ok for Tice, Hunt, Farage, zahawi, et al to have many properties, make honest mistakes or not take the expert advice, but a resigning offence for Angela Rayner?
I'm thinking I don't have to think very hard.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

Let’s revel in this autumn, because the long dark days of winter will soon be nipping at its heels. It’s time to fill the larder with hedgerow jams for afternoon teas in front of the fire on those cold days coming. Painting titled Winter Sunrise on the Farm.

English Bluebell seeds take up to five years to mature into a bulb and produce a flower
The first shoot of a seed is more like a periscope compared to the thicker shoot of seeds further into the cycle
Don’t worry, we tucked this one in to the soil again

So hope for a great sea-change

Believe that a further shore

Believe in miracles

To say we have visited the Lymington-Keyhaven Nature Reserve a lot in the past few months is an understatement. We’ve seen a variety of wildlife here and some are less common than others. Only once have we seen a linnet, which was back in December. #birds #wildlife #linnet
