The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery We are delighted to announce that The Friends of The Potteries Museums & Art Gallery, helped by generous public donations, have raised £10,000 towards the acquisition Ellastone Dress Fastener.

Bank bosses called to meeting with Reeves over impact of Iran war on UK economy HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest and Santander will this week discuss with chancellor how to limit effects of conflict

UK Chancellor to bank CEOs to discuss how to limit the economic impact of the Iran war.

Why bank bosses only? Shows where power is

Would they urge
Lower profit margins at banks
Tax on windfall profits
No mortgage default repossessions
No subsidies for banks
Regulation of shadow banks

Thought not.

Forever this

I hope you’ve remembered to wear corduroy trousers.

Today the Prime Minister will assure Parliament that there was no window, or if there was a window it did not break, and if it broke it was not from a ball, and if there was a ball there was no kick.

He will add that he is "furious" about the window that broke from a ball that was kicked. (By him.)

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

Labour warned against ‘ill-thought-out’ welfare cuts to boost defence budget The suggestion has been branded ‘extremely concerning’

Wes Streeting supports welfare cuts to fund defence.

He lets private equity make billions from outsourcing NHS, social care.

Silence on corporate welfare spending.

Imagine if this guy showed up at your front door and said, “I’m here to collect all of your personal information and while I’m doing that I’m going to clear up some misconceptions about the Nazis.”

Rishi Sunak declared a £15,900 donation from TPP, a firm that has since secured hundreds of millions in government contracts.
