In Nepal, the festival of Kukur Tihar, is dedicated to celebrating & worshipping Dogs for their loyalty, love, and their bond with us. They are honored as faithful protectors & companions. In Hindu belief, dogs are the vehicle of Bhairava, a form of Lord Shiva. They guard the doors of Heaven

Gove has been an extremely poisonous influence on our politics. Undermining expert consensus on Brexit [had enough of experts, etc] and lying his way through the whole process in the aftermath of the Referendum. A travesty that he is on this panel of judges assessing political writing.
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

WTF!👇

'In April, @weownit.org.uk mobilised 6131 people to respond to the government’s “A railway fit for Britain's future” consultation,outlining reforms the Railways Bill needs to include.

The #Government *LOST* 6120 of these responses!

Lost OR IGNORED?🤬 Sign HERE👇

The government lost YOUR rail consultation responses - take action
It is crucial for passengers that our voices are heard and that the bill delivers on the hopes and expectations of passengers. But this has not happened.

On Friday, I visited CAE to learn more about the great work they are doing in Burgess Hill.

CAE's simulators provide training for commercial and private flights, as well as training pilots across the armed forces. I even got to land a plane in one of their simulators!

In a massive backlash against MAGA fascism, Democrats have now swept school board elections in Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio and defeating all terrorist Moms For Liberty candidates in the process. Much more of this please, we have a democracy to rescue. 💙👊

Thank you to these Labour MPs who have already supported Cat Eccles, MP's parliamentary motion to force the government to drop their plans for new NHS private finance.

Write to your MP and urge them to support it too - deadline is tomorrow before the Autumn Budget:

Is Trump keen for everyone to accept Putin having a piece of Ukraine so that should he (Trump) decide to march into Greenland, he can point to the world’s acquiescence and shrug?

The former leader of Reform in Wales is sentenced to 10 yrs in prison for accepting Russian bribes and there is zero mention of it on the BBC News main web page less than 24 hrs later. It was already a footnote last night. But there’s no pro Reform agenda at the Beeb, of course.

This is explosive stuff. Evidence that Jeffrey Epstein not only ran a child sex trafficking operation for powerful men, he also seems to have advised & supported Farage’s far right political projects in Europe and the UK, including Brexit, via Steve Bannon.
