I never see fresh yeast available anymore here in the UK.
Like Johnson, Starmer has deselected several on the left and probably may do again at the next election.
They look sooo good! My son used to make them. Time to get a new sourdough going!
I once heard some sound advice about leadership:
'A's employ 'A's, secure in their ability;
'B's employ 'C's, because they need to be the seen to be the smartest.

I doubt that that people selected by Trump (an 'X' at best) would know there was anything mathematically nonsensical in his statement.

💥The shingles vaccine might be one of the most underrated health moves after 50.💥

New large study(174K pts):
▪️ 50% lower risk of vascular dementia
▪️ 27% fewer blood clots
▪️ 25% lower risk of heart attack or stroke
▪️ 21% lower risk of dying early

With Starmer in charge, I think he'd go in coalition with the tories. Ideologically there's scant difference. Both seek approval of their neoliberal masters.
Congratulations
So needed in our society that favours wealth hoarding over community health
Switzerland has a population of just 9 million. The UK has around 70 million souls, so if pro-rata the treasury could raise around €70Bn

Even if we feel helpless against the evil we see in this world, we must object to it while we can. Even if we think this is not our responsibility to the people inflicted by it, it’s our responsibility to our own humanity. Even if we feel it won’t change a thing, it’s enough that it will change us.

I can foresee the British list just having tigers and lions on it so as not to stop donors from building anywhere

He calls Nigel Farage racist and then does literally all the same things but wearing a red tie.
If government fails to obey the party in this, next year a motion should be put to rebrand the party as the "Genocide Party." This would force MPs and Councillors to confront their ethics.

The police seem inexperienced with how to arrest a dangerous terrorist in a wheelchair.

Well done Yvette Cooper. Slow hand clap. 👏
Postgrowth Planet. Write the newsletters then edit and bind them into the book.

Zoe Gardiner, "The saddest thing I've heard about Trump's visit, is that he is going to get his golden carriage ride, but in private, because the great British public would have given him the rotten tomato treatment if he dared to show his face in public"

Every UK organisation -governmental or not- should quit X right now. Actively using that platform is no longer justifiable by anything.
Love this idea.
Our independent bookshop does this with some new books too.
Stops you judging a book by its cover!

I’ve a contempt for our Prime Minister I’ve not felt for any of his predecessors. Not one. If you can’t take a stand on genocide, what else is there? How can any human being have so little humanity?
"We must be free to debate openly without fear", says the man who has had almost 1500 OAPs and disabled folk arrested for holding placards opposing genocide.
I use a comb to pull the weft up to the head of the fabric as I don't have a reed (I only weave ribbons). Don't pull the weft tight, use just enough tension to keep the edge neat. This can be done after you have brought the weft to the head of the fabric.

I can’t tell you how many parents’ MENTAL HEALTH problems are CAUSED and EXACERBATED by the pressure of trying to get any—let alone decent—SEND SUPPORT. If the GOVERNMENT want to reduce DIAGNOSIS, they should make SEND FUNDING easier and more RELIABLE to get, not CUT it.
