Hah! just found someone selling things they bought from me last year on eBay, vintage Christmas crackers. I did wonder if they might, when I saw they were a vintage business!

Fashworth-Hayes now leading the charge in trying to convert the talking point from "people shouldn't have kids they can't afford" to "removing the two-child benefit cap is funding the great replacement" is a sign of things to come

It’s really simple…

- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting

…that’ll do it.

Cat names should evolve like avant-garde jazz. By the time of a cat's fifth birthday the name by which it is generally known should have zero resemblance to its original name.

but it is outside my bedroom window and a different sort of big cotoneaster is above the tarp and it drips, especially noticeable in the light misty rain...

The same man who was immunized from his crimes by the US Supreme Court would now be further abusing his power to declare himself the biggest victim of injustice in American history.

It’s just a brazen, stubby, vulgar middle finger at the rule of law.

For four years my neighbour and I exchanged "hellos" and nothing else. A few days ago he asked if he could have a recycling bag because he's out, and now we're texting each other because we've both requested more bags from the council and haven't received any.

After Lindsay Halligan’s first indictment against Letitia James was declared void on Nov. 24 when a judge found Halligan’s appointment was unlawful, a New York jury refused to indict James for a second time yesterday. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Grand jury declines to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James, less than two weeks after the first case was dismissed
Federal officials failed to secure the new indictment against James, whom Trump has targeted, after a judge said the previous one was secured by an unlawfully appointed prosecutor.

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

There is a big assymetry between the media's ability to report on Nigel Farage's racist slurs as a teenager and the lack of interest in reporting Lowe's decisions about legitimising the overtly racist right.
