Having worked at St Pancras for 8 years now, I don’t think I ever knew it was there either; worse that it was literally under my feet as I commuted in and out!

I’ve been to Camley Street Natural Park a few times (which I need to stop calling the Naturist Park. That’s something COMPLETELY different)

It’s St Pancras - Platform 13 sits on top of the high walls to the right, and the cream & brown German Gymnasium restaurant is dead ahead in the picture.

The rings are those that were suspended at St Pancras for the Olympics. Segments are also at Stratford and Ebbsfleet on the main concourses.

Chicken Salad Chick has announced that children will receive free meals at their southwest Florida locations, with the Bradenton, Florida location making a post on Facebook to get the word out for those impacted by SNAP benefits not being sent out in November.

Post something random or you'll have an awful November

Two packets of biscuits; one being Custard Cream twists with sticky toffee pudding flavouring and the other being Bourbon twists with chocolate orange flavouring

The Bourbon packaging is green with red stripes and the custard cream packaging is orange with yellow stripes

I fear that when the shooting starts, the clampdown and curtailment of rights under the guise of “protecting law and order from crazed lefties” won’t be far behind.

Any excuse for Trump and the cabal to cling desperately to power 🙄

Pet food is usually not covered by SNAP (depending on where you are), but needing to cover more groceries may take up what you would have spent on it. Many animal shelters have pet food pantries, so check your local if you're struggling to feed your pets.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

It seems my work-bound tube was having a bit of a moment this morning!

The dot matrix display of a Piccadilly line underground train. The word displayed is “Changckfosters”, which appears to be the word ‘Change’ merged with the end of the word ‘Cockfosters’

The chief executive officer of the USA is raising revenue through import duties without consulting the representatives of the people; exactly 250 years on from the start of the American Revolution.

Lodging in London tonight.

It’s the little things, but this piece of “thank you for your loyalty [Insert Name Here]” did bring a smile to my face

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."

In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.

Maybe Beth is on a diet.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
