Bluesky account for the Dormouse Bookshop Norwich since we left twitter/X
Sold as a pond plant by garden centres, I guess they have escaped and have now started to survive the milder winters.

Ashdown Forest, home so true,
Where bridges were for Pooh sticks too.
Stories and rhymes, so simple, so clever,
Made Milne’s name last forever and ever

But after the war, oh what delight!
A boy named Christopher, golden bright.
A bear named Pooh, a world so grand,
With Tigger and Rabbit and friends at hand.

He wrote for Punch, both sharp and light,
A playwright too, his scripts took flight.
Then war clouds came, the world turned gray,
He served, he fought, he put words away.

Alan Alexander, bright and small,
Born in Kilburn, loved by all.
January's chill, the year '82,
A baby who’d write when older he grew.

Off to a school where numbers played,
Mathematics at Cambridge—his mark was made.
But words, not sums, would fill his days,
With humour and wit in clever displays.

During World War II, publishers were encouraged to be more efficient with materials. This led to a breakthrough format: a standardized 56-page book, which could be printed on a single sheet of paper. In 1940, they launched Bunnikins Picnic Party, marking the beginning of its golden era.

"Bit sad if you're doing this for free" By implication I guess you are being paid then, explains the propagandist terminology "Whataboutism" and the handy graphic. I have no beef with someone's views, but if they are paid for I want to know who to blame for unpleasant tone like "weasel"

So according to your graphic some £50k a year, small beer, Tory ministers would fall about laughing at that figure.

It does seem that Reeves embellished her CV, but much of this BBC report comes from a mystery figure from within HBOS. Not enough actual substance to warrant Double front page of the BBC news website all day IMO
