Personally I do not think you should trust the advice of a “writer” who is willing to steal words and livelihoods from other writers and is happy to burn down the planet just to publish a blog piece justifying her actions

The figures are not well-drawn & the anatomy is not realistic. We fear you will earn no money from your "art".

It is certainly desirable to marry later than at the age of 20, but we know nothing of your position in life and your duties at home. It is impossible to advise you, in the dark on these matters as we are.

This is excellent. Well and truly puts Reform and Farage in their place. Well done Durham Miners' Association. Reform of course now run Durham Council. www.durhamminers.org/statement_du...

With record temperatures and very little rain before Summer has even begun, we need to start taking better care of our natural world for wildlife and climate. An easy start is to ban lifeless plastic gardens 📝 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

"A highly original book about the pursuit of romantic ideals and about how memory works – or doesn’t. It is written in an extraordinarily vivid, at times almost stream-of-consciousness, prose that brilliantly mirrors the unusual life it describes." TLS Judges, 2025 @littletollerbooks.bsky.social

“From November 2026, people would need to score a minimum of four points in at least one daily activity to qualify. Needing help to get in or out of the shower, or supervision to use the toilet are measures that don't meet this threshold” Shocking www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.

I’ve been making my way through the Welfare Reform Bill and this paragraph on the gov.uk website is genuinely disgusting. Receiving a decent disability benefits rate “encourages sickness”, does it? Funny, I thought it just enabled severely ill and disabled people to eat.

Irish unity would move "centre stage" if Nigel Farage became UK prime minister, former Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar has said www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You say: "UK borrowing rises to £17.7bn". More accurately you could say: "£17.7bn of money that the government has previously issued is now being held by the private sector in savings in the form of interest-bearing gilts".

Discarded clothes from UK brands dumped in protected Ghana wetlands.

From the 1950's to the 1970's the UK built 5 million council houses, these were built almost entirely by builders employed and paid by Local Government Authorities. It is what we need, no more middle men billionaire thieves, just the Government doing what needs to be done.

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip. Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

Nice day out at the Japanese Garden, Cowden

Cutting PIP will do nothing to help people into work, when so many rely on it to stay employed. Slashing carers allowance will hurt those selflessly looking after loved ones and taking pressure off our NHS Labour 🥀 must change course Lib Dems will be holding them to account in Parliament

We sympathise with you on your dreary life, but do not be dreary yourself, in spite of it.

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" FDR "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" JFK "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power" Lincoln. "They call it a flagpole from the grass" Donald Trump.

Crows can hustle too...

Apparently, they call it a flagpole from the grass and that bulbous bit at the top is the glans. And BTW, they tell me there's never in the history of the world been a bigger one.

UK Minister says govt stepping up preparations for temporary nationalisation of Thames Water. Must not be temporary, no return to private sector. Water companies have stolen plenty, dumped sewage, unplugged leaks. No compensation, as was the case with Railtrack and Northern Rock.
