Having argued that Angela Rayner had to go when it became clear that she had not sought proper advice over her housing arrangements, I can't help thinking that entrusting the renting of your house in a specific area to people who routinely rent out houses in the specific area is pretty blameless.

Every time I visit Italy ( I am in Sicily) I feel the loss. Europe was our natural home — law, culture, trade, defence, shared purpose. We walked away on the promises of Johnson and Farage. They sold pride and delivered poverty. #faragetaxes

Think today is a good day to repost this wee gem. Labour will need to get a move on if they want to match the Tories scandals.

Berlin Wall at Chausseestrasse checkpoint, 27 August 1962. I post photographs taken on my many Berlin visits in the 1950s and 1960s. 180 unique historic street images of East and West Berlin are in my book "Berlin in the Cold War" (Amberley Publishing). #Berlin

PENSIONER HEATING ALLOWANCE HAS BEEN CUT FOR THE OVER 80s. Last year, my wife and myself got £300 each - this year is £150 each. Not a problem in our case, but 80 year olds on the breadline will miss this money.

The China court case is the new Schleswig Holstein Question.
I suspect the only three who understand it couldn't really care less.
It's Woodstock for the Westminster Bubble chatterers, though.

Just back from chemo unit - first denosumab injection.
Most of the staff were ‘non white’ ~ they might not even have had A level English! Shock, horror!
But they did a superb job.
