After 7 years, some say I don’t belong.
But I’ve paid taxes, volunteered 1,500 hrs, generated £960k revenue, raised a top UK graduate.
This is my home. My new biz, Cherry’s Festive Corner, launches next summer—my pledge, built on the Kindness Economy.

Yesterday in Parliament I said that the government should leave X.
🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?
Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

The craziest thing about this story? It’s all legal
Britain’s election laws are awful - as successive governments have been told this for years and done *nothing*
And Musk has shown that he is very, very willing to funnel cash to distort democratic politics…

Secondly, these women are not weak to your manipulation.
And thirdly, this is a problem that should have been solved a long time ago when they filed the complaint

My daughters said to me one day "Mom, we'll be back soon," and they came back with a little kitten that still needed to be nursed, but Mom threw him away. I fed him for days on end with a little doll bottle. Unfortunately I couldn't take him with me when I came to the UK. I really miss him ❤️🥺

I don't know how I haven't watched it before, but what actors, what a fantastic series!
Douglas Henshall is excellent, so convincing, so good at acting, and today I discovered that his wife is Tena Štivičić a Croatian playwright and screenwriter.
Watch the series!

A timely metaphor is the social media platform X which, once detached from regulation, went from being a useful, global community for the exchange of ideas to a cesspit of falsity, propaganda and hatred.

A young girl died today as a result of her injuries after the fall of an overpass at the railway station. No one has been detained yet, the person responsible has not been found. Irresponsibility, corruption, construction mafia.
