'How comfortable are you giving money to Iran, Sudan, or the Taliban?' 'Sometimes you have to do business with people you don't like.' Tice would sell his soul to the devil.

Hotels you opened.

This is where the country goes to the dogs. Rylan is allowed to say plainly untrue statements on a national news show with literally no pushback. Asylum seekers housed in hotels are NOT given phones or ipads. They are not living a life of luxury.

THE CANDLEMAKER’S HEADSTONE When John Young died in 1745 this headstone was raised to mark his grave. A bundle of the candles he made for a living tied together by the wicks appear above his Merchant’s Mark (a 4 with additions). His initials (an I is a J) top left, plus 5 others.

The Times is reporting the umpteenth Budget rumour: national insurance on landlords' rent payments. On paper, an easy way to collect a couple of £bn. In practice I think unfair and likely to be widely avoided. Quick thread:

There. It’s not rocket science. The government & media are once again being totally played by Nigel Farage. Thank you Ed Davey for speaking the actual truth.

Will always have a searing memory of our visit to Auschwitz Birkenau earlier this month. We must never forget. #Auschwitz

Hero Spotlight: Meet Cloe Woods, a 5 year old from Kenner, Louisiana, who guided her blind grandmother and dog to safety, as a fire raged in their home. She remembered fire safety rules from Kenner Firefighters who had come to her school. #CloeWoods #KennerLouisianaFireDepartment

Relish Life! Hot off the press, Pete McKee’s new tribute to Henderson's Relish on the back of the Moor Market! It was created with the assistance of Allen & Poulton Decorating, I love it 🧡 #Hendos #PeteMcKee #Sheffield

Our newest book - The Strange House by Raymond Briggs - is arriving in post boxes across the world!

Republican Sen. Susan Collins: “I am extremely alarmed at the firing of the CDC director…I see no basis for her firing. It is highly significant that her removal led to the immediate resignation of four other top officials who have served at the CDC for decades in some cases”

Rowland and Edith Hilder were husband and wife. Rowland is well-known but I’ve always wanted to find a solo work by Edith. I now own this one - subtle and understated and so reminiscent of her work in the 1957 Ladybird book ‘Wild Flowers’

Not one mention of asking people to understand and respect the decisions of our courts She could have used this statement to call for calm Sadly SHE. DID. NOT

Please join me in thanking the Miccosukee tribe for shutting down Alligator Alcatraz. NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS ON NATIVE LAND!

RFK Jr loves to talk about “don’t trust the experts” like he’s some prophet of truth: RFK Jr: “We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.” Well, science isn’t religion.

Emma 💛💙🇩🇰🇬🇧🇪🇺 Well done Emma, & thanks for taking the time to research & post this. Sadly the usual right wing RENT-A-GOBS & right wing [non-news]papers will continue to ignore or misrepresent the facts because that's what they do (or should I say, are paid to do!).

Angry at insinuations that judges who granted or overturned Epping injunction were politically biased. I've known both Cons & Lab lawyers who've become judges. Whatever their previous politics they take seriously their judicial oath to do justice without fear or favour

Thread of rebuttal.

It's a calm, dry #SaturdayMorning in #Orkney but it's starting to feel more autumny now with longer shadows and a sense of late summer light. The wildflowers in our raised planters continue to evolve. The trees are beginning to lose their leaves. The balls are unchanged.
