If you’ve shared this but haven’t read it yet, you should. PEOPLE isn’t pulling punches. Just printing “Christian Nationalism” in relation to the platform of a presidential candidate is more than many pubs have done.

Is this what you wish for, America?

Feels so good to log onto news now! No more sinking dread, OMG what've Tories done today - just excited hope, OMG what've Labour done today?! 😁

It's Entirely up to Us.

Today's main achievement apart from chatting to you good folk: high fibre/protein, low sugar, gluten-free baking! Cheese scone, date/walnut/pecan cake, stem ginger flapjack, cheesy olive loaf, & buns to freeze for next week. Pleased with self. Hubcap pleased, too. 😋

Bless their little busy, buzzy bottoms (spot the one on left poking out of hosta flower!) - our insect friends ARE still with us, thank God, dashing out in sunny intervals to do their thing & keep the planet/all of us alive. Seen a few butterflies on warmer days, too, & moths a-plenty.

A little reassurance for those of you desperately concerned about this year's lack of pollinators: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io96...

Where have all the insects gone?www.youtube.com Social media is full of people saying that there are no insects in their garden. This is my take on why gardens are currently lacking in buzz. Should we be p...

Well said, both. Non-Deform voters could try bombarding their new MPs with complaints about local issues, demands for action etc, try & make the useless twunts give the service they've been elected to provide instead of winding people up with racist ranting & empty promises.

I am also hoping disinfecting light might be thrown on the Reform party. Also being an mp is partly about duty to your constituents.

While the sewage dumper Tory MP Robbie Moore won in Keighley and Ilkley he obviously no longer has a role and is totally isolated in a sea of Labour. Pity we couldn’t get rid of him.

@coldwarsteve.bsky.social sums it up

Good. JC makes important points, & his voice will be extremely valuable. I'm delighted he's back in WM - I'd prefer him as PM, obviously, but just having him restored to mainstream politics is wonderful. Bloody well done, Mr C!

Hell yeah.
