Visited All Saints Church in Tudeley this morning to see the Chagall windows! Amazing!

β€œHe and his party have never run anything – a local council, a parish council. He’s spent a lifetime doing what he accuses others of doing, which is riding the political gravy train” Farage will take your votes and then take the piss. Don’t give him that chance. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

How important is NATO? Trump: "Very important for Europe". It seemed pretty important for the US too when Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands. Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, UK, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland came to its aid after 9/11.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

This sort of bullying bollox just makes me MORE determined to post highly critical stuff about Trump and his rotten administration. Who wants to go to a country like this? Ditto Russia.

I hate the term school ready but glad she used the term development but she also needs to ensure schools are ready for children and understand child development! Remember in any class some children are 11months older than the youngest child in the class!!!!

Let’s hope on Saturday all news channels focus on the ceremony to celebrate the Pope’s life and not on the attention seeker from the US and his wife #C4news

"The dignity of each human person and the pursuit of the common good are concerns which ought to shape all economic policies." Pope Francis

Quite shocking. Any MP working properly for their constituents would not have time for a 2nd job.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Some people still seem to think sucking up to Trump will get us a trade deal with the US But we don’t want a deal on Trump’s terms that puts out food standards & our ability to regulate the US tech oligarchs on the table! Starmer needs to find a backbone! No state visit!

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

Went on a local bluebell walk yesterday the pictures don’t do it justice! Nearly walked on the lonely orchid!!!

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates
