“…it’s time to address the elephant in the room of British politics. It is one that everyone else can see across Europe; and opinion polls tell us the public is way ahead of Westminster. To paraphrase James Carville, it’s the Brexit, silly.”
Why 'it's the Brexit, stupid' should be the political slogan of our times
As Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares the Budget, she’s missing an estimated £40 billion a year in tax revenues because the UK left the European Union

I don't think I've ever seen so much Honey Fungus (Armillaria spp.) as I have this year. The woods around Conkwell, near #Bath, were absolutely full of it.
