Today's #sunset time in #reigate is 15:52 which is the earliest it gets. Great news, we are turning the corner.

The bad news is that the #sunrise time continues to get later and doesn't start heading in the right direction until 3rd January!!

Food is too expensive, controlled by billionaires.
Energy is too expensive, controlled by billionaires.
Housing is too expensive, controlled by billionaires.
Wages are too low, controlled by billionaires.

I'm going to blame... immigrants.

Cooking fats, oils, food scraps, and even wet wipes can build up in drains and pipes, leading to blockages and sewer flooding in homes and gardens. 🚫💧

🧻 Remember to only flush the 3 Ps: Pee, Poo, and Paper, and always bin cooled fats, oils and grease instead of washing them down the sink.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

More than just a bad apple: why we must look closer at the Nathan Gill scandal

New evidence connects the Ukrainian politician who paid bribes to Gill - Reform UK’s former leader in Wales - to a campaign to destabilise the US election

The man who bribed Gill - Oleh Voloshyn - is part of a much wider network of pro-Russian actors.

He worked with this guy, an FSB agent, who I've been fascinated by for years,

My investigation for @thenerve.news shows how Gill was a pawn in a Kremlin operation that spanned both Europe & US

Why didn't the River Mole dry up this summer?
Remember my post on historic vanishings thru the Mole Gap?
Despite the record dry spring & low flows, it kept flowing! No vanishing like '76/'22. Here's a quick review on why it didn't dry up.
