Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.

It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

When Grace Clements walked across the stage at her university’s commencement ceremony this week, she leaped onto the school president and gave him a giant bear hug — bringing him straight to the ground.

Proud of the garden I created from nothing 6-8yrs ago.

Been 100% neglected (no watering, pruning etc) for 3+ yrs. If you plant drought tolerant, location suited flora, you don’t need large amounts of work once established. All desperately need a prune/tidy up… soon hopefully💜😊

@VisitTheUSA Sorry to say, that I am now scared to visit the USA as a tourist. I have no criminal record and travel a lot and have visited USA at least 4 times. But I can't be doing with the fear, that I could be detained for a long period and put in chains. That's not a vacation

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com With oil prices going down, they should be falling at the pumps. I am waiting for energy firms to steady themsleves for a drop in Gas/electricty prices. Because capitialism works on demand. Global recession = less demand = a reduction in the price cap. I doubt it

I really have to get out of the mindset of just looking forward to the future and also try and enjoy the present.

I don't think I buy any thing American, so I don't think it will affect me or many people here

With young people today and the cost of living, it is becoming plain governments see them as just existing to work and pay bills. A quality of life is being sucked out of the population, so a handful of very rich corporations and people can hoard money. A not very nice world.

There are 26 million homes in England and Wales. If every home had the same increase in water rates as myself of £190, then this would equal nearly £5 billion taken out of the economy. Money that would have been available for food, clothes and many other things.

If a @UKLabour canvasser comes up my path, I shall be telling him or her to get of my property. I have never done that to any political party before. #Labour

It's sad, but I can tell you that I won't be voting Labour at the next election. Despicable government targeting the poor. Least Labour government of my life time. www.aol.co.uk/spring-state...

Lovely here in the Algarve
March 26, 2025 at 11:02 AM
this is the most relaxing holiday I have had over the last year. Its good returning, as I know where every thing is. I enjoy hiring a bike. weather is wonderful
About 19 degrees, just right for me. And a bit of TV in the evening. Algarve is great for the so

It always fits. I travel light.

More money in my pocket, perhaps. But £190 more a year taken out in water rates. More council tax and increased gas/electric prices. For council tax and gas and electric, this government said they would freeze them for this year. Money taken out faster than it goes in @UKLabour

Once there is a peace between Ukraine and Russia on decent terms for the Ukraine, I very much look forward to my gas and electric prices falling like a stone with @eonenergyuk Some thing tells me, they won't and energy companies will bake in the price rises! #energy
