Brings to mind 'Summer in another world' by Evelyn Hardy [1940s West Cork]

simple, honest, enjoyable memoir of 1990s West Cork (he underestimates how much the reputation of the off-grid communities varied in proportion to the distance from them) hard to credit now a lost world

this is the MAGA assessment of UK opinion, not supported by current polling evidence. An odd thing to be pushing to a legacy party even as a permanent insurgent Lordship

membership surge is much as expected, as the left options gel out, but the opinion poll is way above expectations and could be an outlier. Should be taken as evidence of what is possible

My kid's Clacton nursery has cut hot lunches for toddlers to save money, and sent round leaflets to parents advising us on preparing packed lunches for around 90p per day.

They have no waiting list for places because there's so few jobs here worth doing once you've covered childcare.

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

*sigh* St Andrews could be a much more pleasant place to walk around if the number of cars was slashed to, say, half of what it is now.

What was the old station is now a great big car park, and it shows.

Buses don't cut it with fairweather users and tourists. They never have and they never will.

Part of conservatives are absolutely sure they can find a way to convince the younger generation to start eating more meat and drinking more wine again and this kind of stupid shit is what they come up with to achieve this. 🙄
