It was a joy to visit the WI Vintage Tea Party at East Horsley Village Hall earlier this month. A fantastic afternoon tea with live entertainment as part of Age UK's 'Silver Sunday' celebrating older people and their contribution to society.

Reform have suspended 4 cllrs on Kent CC after the leaked video exposing their divisions.
Lib Dems say Reform's meetings "sound more like an episode of The Traitors than the running of a major council."
"All that's missing is for Claudia Winkleman to appear & ask who they're going to banish next."

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Leaving the ECHR would allow the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, Sick Pay, Maternity Pay, Paid Holiday and working hour limits to all be abolished.
They would make hundreds of billions from this.

A hideous, and for traumatised British Jews profoundly unhelpful, expression of allyship & agreement with a violent, racist, serial criminal & former member of an avowedly anti-Semitic organisation from the *Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs* and so, as Sunder says, the Israeli government. 1/3
This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).
