Everyone saying PM shd condemn far right violence in London yday (Shabana Mahmood already has)/ leave X is right. But same for Kemi Badenoch. No Conservative Party can condone thugs attacking police horses & calls for violent uprising. Even Farage has gone up against Yaxley-Lennon ffs.

I’m scared of Reform, I’m scared of the continuing rise of the far right. But moreover I’m scared of the continuing legitimisation of far right ideology and politics into the mainstream.

Eldest starting secondary school for the first time. She needs branded blazer, jumper, PE tops. Also had to buy new style shirts, new colour skirts, and socks, PE leggings. We had to buy a new coat and rucksack as her school only allows plain black.

Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy shifted gears beautifully, naturally, and sympathetically with one of the best depictions of grief I’ve seen on screen. My husband and I wept. My sister in law died in May, leaving a husband and son the same age as Billy. This film allowed us to grieve.

The removal of a dementia diagnosis target is unacceptable.
It sends the message that dementia doesn’t matter and highlights a staggering lack of focus on a devastating condition that affects nearly a million people in the UK. #DementiaDeservesDiagnosisis

Thank you for calling out this ridiculous and cruel plan by Bromley Council.
Bromley Council want to introduce parking charges for disabled Blue Badge holders.
It will isolate some of our most vulnerable residents.
