We've now raised £50,000.

Anything you can spare, will go towards challenging this Labour Government and taking the fight to Reform.

And most importantly - to creating the hopeful alternative.

There's a third option, which I think is far more likely:
3. "He's going to be ambassador and I don't want to hear of any excuses or problems."
Still means he should resign.
How many more issues has he taken this approach to?

And in the next 38 days it would generate another gallon's worth of energy, but the gasoline would not.

"Integrity is returning to the USA".
Really?

I should mention that I watched a fascinating interview with Jess Butcher MBE who organised this campaign & she specifically mentioned “building little war figures” as a highly positive alternative to scrolling. It’s all about the flow, folks!

See from 24:09 in the video.

I have the one volume paperback of Lord of the Rings, so that's allowed.
No appendices though - had to get volume 3 for those.

Also amused by all the talk about complexity and computer assistance. They did this in the 60's when their computers were less capable than a modern washing machine!

I had to laugh when the NASA guy talked about enthusing young people. As a young person in the 60's I was enthused by space exploration, then felt let down.

Keir Starmer gives resident doctors 48 hours to call off strike or lose training offer PM says union’s decision to reject deal for extra training posts and 7.1% pay rise without putting it to members in England is ‘reckless’

Government claims to prioritise NHS recovery. Yet gvt threatens to shrink the future workforce - contradicting its own staffing plan.Using training posts as leverage turns a pay row into a gamble with the NHS’s future capacity.Starmer's own escalate to de-escalate www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Why tech CEOs suddenly love blaming AI for mass layoffs More tech leaders are pointing to job cuts caused by AI tools - and a need for more investment cash.

When office space was in surplus because of Working from Home, the property companies got worried and WfH was vilified.
Now companies are laying of lots of people because of AI. That will also release a lot of office space. Will property companies oppose AI?

If you don't say it people will assume you support Reform. Can you live with that?

Shouldn't that be "Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells MPs she is meeting with North Sea industry leaders tomorrow to discuss the fact that, because the price they can charge will go up, they'll be taxed more."

Hardly "winning hearts and minds".

So, Trump's so annoyed by Zelensky saying that Putin's started WW3, that he's trying to steal that credit!

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Why some schools are pushing for 'active' uniforms over traditional ones Proponents say relaxed uniforms make life easier for children and are much more practical for physical play.

I would guess that schools adopting more "active" uniforms is now being reported because it's just happened at a school where a BBC reporter is a parent. My daughter's school did this about 35 years ago!

Obviously not a photo, although may be based on one.
What's your point?

Wasn't Ash Wednesday about smokers burning their stock of cigarettes so they could properly abstain during Lent.
Many fewer smokers these days.

Government abandons plans to delay 30 council elections Ministers had planned to delay the polls until 2027 to help deliver a major reorganisation of local government.

Massive own goal by Government. They've just made Reform look like champions of democracy - which they aren't.

Celts: Damn Anglo Saxons coming over here and taking our jobs.

Great report here on Zack Polanski pointing out all the broken manifesto pledges from Starmer's government. From tuition fees to supporting genocide, it makes a strong case for a broken election mandate.

Similarly, vampires couldn't be photographed as the sensitive component of film was silver nitrate.
Digital cameras don't use silver so it should now be possible to photograph them.

Perhaps we can't because they don't exist?

The Outsider, by H P Lovecraft YouTube video by Nunkie Films

This Saturday at 8pm(UK) there's a live telling of H P Lovecraft's influential short story, "The Outsider." Just click hereL

It's free-to-view, and available to watch anytime after the live broadcast. But... 1/2

Here’s what the UK Labour govt got in exchange for providing military, weapons & logistics support to the far right Israeli govt, in their genocide* in Gaza. Maybe all those Labour MPs, who get financial support from the ‘friends of Israel’ lobby groups**, might reconsider?

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

I suspect the GMC would have something to say about that.

Grave of James Manby Gully in Kensal Green Cemetery. Upright stone with gothic style outline. "In memory of James Manby Gully MD formerly of Great Malvern." Also commemorates his wife, Francis, daughter Fanny; Sarah, Anne and Ellen, who appear to have been his sisters.

I've heard a story that he wrote plays/acted after his disgrace but the dates seem to indicate that it was before.
I'm sure you know he was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
