The wonders created by builders of old. Photography, history, exploring dark nooks & crannies, books. All pictures and opinions of them are my own!
An old, old song I heard just once but have always remembered:

"Be kind to yourself,
when you're tired of yourself,
don't go mixing the reds,
along with the blues."

My point was the reason behind the question, not the form of the question itself. Starmer knows beforehand what Badenoch is going to ask and has prepared that theatrical, playing to the gallery response (who wouldn't?) One word or fifty she has cleverly elicited a commitment he may find he regrets.

She's setting a trap for the Chancellor's autumn statement at the end of October. Useful ploy to extract a commitment on those 3 now as the Government will have to raise taxes another way to pay for the costs of the welfare u-turn. That then makes them look untrustworthy. Not so stupid as it seems.

Is protecting the environment achieved better by educating society about its importance, or by writing laws to punish those that harm it?

See his coat of arms above. Below the grille are steps to a small chamber where George and his wife were laid to rest, nothing remains of them today. Shakespeare claims he was ordered to be drowned by Richard, his younger brother. He was an unreliable ally for Edward and Richard in the war at times.

Yes, you did, thank you, 1875. It is a very striking painting.

Do you have more information on this picture? Artist? Date? Where is it kept now?

You could not fault their commitment, though. Over the years I've seen other teams just stop trying in that situation and they never did. I saw lots of promise which, with increased experience, could make for a very good team down the road.

I now frequently find that Nanny Grammaria is an unwelcome guest when using Office, Pages and various mails.
