At preschool today one of our practitioners had made a painted 'bonfire' in a tuff tray for the children to put out with water sprayers. It was such a lovely example of creativity + building grip strength through #play! One of the parents is a fire fighter so it made the play very personal too. ☺️

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.
Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.
We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

I read something that showed (ish) local spend =£5 to local economy & supermarket=40p but I can't find the source

Hey DOJ, today would be a great day to honor Charlie Kirk by releasing the Epstein Files.

A welcome - and long overdue - step. But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.

If we must have 'pride' in a sense of being 'British' I'd much rather it was about village life, rolling landscapes, vibrant cities, a brilliant creative arts scene and a pretty successful multicultural society (despite all the negativity about immigration). Football hooligans don't speak for me.
