It would make the job of the police much easier if car insurance worked like it does here in Luxembourg. All cars are automatically insured "any driver" - none of this named driver bullshit!

I want to know what is going on!
We have nasturtiums, gladioli, foxgloves, cosmos, dahlias, gaillardia and petunias all bravely flowering and we have already had the first few frosts!
I'm over in Luxembourg where it is generally colder than in the UK.

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

I emailed the local authority in the UK where I used to live in the UK to ask if there was any chance of being offered any sort of council housing as I am about to be made homeless overseas & am going to find it very hard to get other housing here. The form I have to complete runs to 18 pages!

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.
At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Sad to hear Prunella Scales has died.
Fawlty Towers was the only comedy show that has ever had me rolling on the floor holding my sides, I was laughing so much. That was Basil giving his car a "damned good thrashing" in the episode that was I believe called "The gourmet meal"

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.
