I thoroughly recommend "The Dog Listener" by Jan Fennell and "The Dog Guardian" by Nigel Reed. Both approach #dogtraining by firstly building mutual trust. Both are easy reads, Nigel's has a slightly more scientific slant.

Good thread. The UK certainly did avoid many calls for further information / investigations into Russian interference before and after the heavily redacted Russia Report was published

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

I don't think there has ever been one, so no change there.

It'll soon be 10 years since the Brexit ref. So much has changed since then. If Brexit is the cause of our economic problems, as the government now admits, then surely we need to ask ourselves whether we want to carry on down the Brexit road or turn around and head back to the Single Market and EU.

He also said he was "prepared to take the financial hit" for brexit. But he hasn't given an invoice address.

After seeing what's going on in Portland I'm beginning to think the mastermind behind antifa might be Bernie Clifton.

I'll never forget that on GMB, after Andrew Pierce had spluttered that it was "not what we voted for", Simon Calder calmly pointed out that it was exactly what he had voted for.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

If they do this, they’ll need a convincing answer to the obvious question some will ask: ‘why don’t we rejoin?’ Keir Starmer’s plan to blame Nigel Farage for budget tax rises

From the US to Europe and Asia, grievances are being exploited to gain power. But moderate voices are still in tune with the majority

But I thought Keir Starmer could "Make Brexit Work"?

Roland Smith @rolandmcs.bsky.social · 1d

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

I agree is looks like a major shift - or to put it another way, at last a recognition of reality.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

No surprise from the man who sold his country down the river just to become PM - a corrupt, useless, self serving lying one at that

Johnson secretly lobbied the UAE for a billion-dollar private venture, amid plans to use an influential contact & senior contacts in the Saudi gov he met as PM

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office, watchdog finds

Johnson found to have breached rules after refusing to answer specific questions about allegations published by the Guardian

Signs of kindness put up along Nottingham road in place of flags

It is not clear who put up the signs, which have appeared on lamp-posts along a road in Nottingham.
