We took our plants out about 3 weeks ago. Put all of the green fruit on a tray in the conservatory...over half have ripened so far. Well pleased.

I too wish schools would teach critical thinking so kids don't follow the ideology of people like Farage, someone cares not a jot about others but focuses on lining his pockets. How much was he paid for this jaunt to the US?
Having their MP in Michigan must be a real bonus for the people of Clacton.

If you dig a bit, you can find lots to shout about that Labour has done - either the comms are MIA or the media are obsessed with bringing the gvmt down...???

Even as Sindy fan, I agree, she's not worthy of Barbie-hood!

Ditto. Just don't have the energy to watch any longer.
Serious journalists would surely be reporting on what's happening to democrat cities in the USA and translating it to "man of the people" Farage's potential impact here.

Exactly. I was shouting at the radio as the selfish Tories were whooping at the Stamp Duty announcement.

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Firms running hotels make vast profits, while often providing appalling conditions.
People seeking asylum don't choose to get stuck in hotels. Firms choose to make money off their lives, and governments choose to pay them rather than implement better alternatives.

Jenrick should just get himself over the Reform. He and Nige would no doubt have lots in common...mainly no interest in Britain just feathering their own nest.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
