This note is from my English teacher, Miss Fielden. She taught me for 5 years, believed in me and encouraged me to pursue my passions.

More than a decade on, I’ve written my first book.

It feels like London is two thirds Canadian right now. And it’s lovely.

Starmer:
"Late to your illegal war, General BoneSpurs? What a cheek."

"It took America 3 years to join us against Germany in WW1, and two years to help fight the Nazis in WW2!"

"By the way, where are those #EpsteinFiles you promised?"

A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.

If y'all have any interest in accurate information, you simply cannot depend solely on American media. 😳👇

Billionaire brothers who backed Tories give Reform £100k
Oliver Wright

Extracts

Britain's
second-richest family have
begun giving money to Reform UK after years of supporting the Conservatives.
A company linked to the property tycoons David and Simon Reuben donated £100,000 to Nigel Farage's party the first time the brothers have given to any party other than the Tories.
Reform has also received £3 million from Christopher Harborne, 63, an entrepreneur who now lives in Thai-land, adding to the ty million he gave in August. At the time, that was the biggest single donation to a UK political party by a living donor.
In the last quarter of last year, Reform received more than £5.4 million in do-nations, the Conservatives were given £2.4 million and Labour received
£1.9 million.
The Reuben brothers - David, 87, and Simon, 84, who own property including Millbank Tower and Admiralty Arch in London — have donated almost El million to the Conservative Party since 2008. They also supported Boris Johnson after he left No 10, giving him office space worth £85,000. Their family wealth was put at £26.87 billion in The Sunday Times Rich List last year.
Reform UK has its headquarters in Millbank Tower, but it is not known whether the brothers donation linked to reduced rent payments.

Other Reform donors include David
John Grainger, the co-founder of a biotech firm, and Gary Dutton, a double glazing entrepreneur, who both gave the party £250,000.
Reform also received £100,000 from Isabel Goldsmith, sister of the former Tory minister Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park. Her father, Sir James Gold-smith, was seen as the godfather of British Euroscepticism.
For the second quarter in a row Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB, gave £200,000 each to the Conservatives and Reform. At the time of his first do-nation, the company said he was "sup-portive of pro-business political parties that create the conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper".

More billionaire cash bankrolling Reform.
JCB’s chairman, Bamford, said he was “supportive of pro-business political parties that create conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper."

Reform wants to repeal the Equality Act.
Prosperity for them means loss of rights and pay for us.

If you live in the Gorton and Denton constituency and spoke to a Reform party member on your doorstep or in the streets then I'd like to speak to you for an article. My DMs are open.

Rolling hills, rich heritage and great pubs: a car-free break in Leicestershire This picturesque corner of the East Midlands is a well-kept secret and it’s great for exploring by public transport

A trip down memory lane for me, reading this, but yes: it is a beautiful part of the world, and Bradgate Park is a gem

So Epstein buddies Andrew and Mandelson have been arrested in the UK. And in the US? Zero, zip, nada | Marina Hyde At least the British gave us the perp-walk shots. But I fear that any Americans seeking real justice will have to wait, and wait, and wait, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The biggest problem with solar energy is not that it is intermittent, it is that greedy people cant make it scarce nor monopolize it.
