Joining Erasmus+ is great news - but we must now go further in resetting relations with the EU.
"It is one of the clearest signs yet of what Keir Starmer wanted to do when he came into office, which was reset relations with the European Union."

If you're in a large WhatsApp group where, statistically, at least one person will be celebrating a birthday every few days, it is perfectly cool to just not use the group to wish people a happy birthday. You don't have to do it. I don't need to see 50 birthday messages every other day. Please stop.

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

The majority of the UK’s richest are happy to live here & pay their taxes.
But what about the greedy few that use the UK to get rich, then bail when it's time to pay their dues?
The UK needs a settling up tax, just like 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇳🇴 🇯🇵.

When four breeding male Hen Harriers suspiciously disappeared from nests in May, two from RSPB Geltsdale and two from the Forest of Bowland, it was clear the females would struggle to raise their chicks alone.
