So this lady gets fired for her extensive relationship with Epstein. But your President, who is mentioned over a million times in the Epstein Files, gets a complete free pass. Make this make sense America. What happened to Maga wanting to drain the swamp?

WW2 veterans faught the Nazis, many gave their life. Why is the US funding Nazi Israel @vanhollen.senate.gov?

I think her outrageous behavior indicates that she’s already secured a pardon.

Excellent news. ‘We are hopeful’: small signs of recovery for Scotland’s rare capercaillie bird Number of males at RSPB Abernethy rises to 30, after ‘huge amount of work’ by conservationists in Highlands forests. Years ago capercaillie used to come into my ‘garden’ on Stainmore, Pennines.

They behave like spoilt children. What are you doing USA?

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company. Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

A66 on Stainmore today, close to where I used to live:

Re. Epstein: “The autopsy findings are much more consistent with a crushing injury caused by homicidal strangulation than caused by hanging by suicide.” FBI and Donald Trump’s Justice Department have both stated that Epstein killed himself and that there is no evidence he was murdered.

We need to stop electing politicians who don't believe in science. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wouldn't it be great if Scotland controlled *all* of its own finances and resources, instead of getting just some back from Westminster? That's what normal independent countries have. #Scotland #Holyrood26 indyposterboy.scot/timeo-danaos/

My response to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Sky News interview 👇

Farage frothing about WFH again… Funny how the loudest critics are the ones who’ve probably never done a school run or a Zoom call with a sick kid in the background. WFH isn’t hurting Britain - but Reform’s backers would hate you to realise who really is. open.substack.com/pub/marinapu...

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Always shop with local bookshops I know & trust like Bookends in Carlisle

Wonderful idea - how people can talk, laugh & enjoy eating outside.

BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence! “I think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and thought that could scare us by putting our names out.”

Pierre Sablé, un Catalan bien connu pour avoir couru des marathon à plus de 80 ans, vient d'être père pour la septième fois, à l'âge de 91 ans.

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

So, that's Greens, Lib Dems, SNP, Plaid Cymru all saying Customs Union now, full rejoin in time. Labour are inching to this position too.

Will Ritson describing poet William Wordsworth said: "He wor a varra quiet auld man. He’d nea pride about him an’ varra lile to say."

It's almost like being fabulously rich doesn't make you happy or well adjusted. It's almost like it makes you sad and lonely. And leaves you forever casting about for scapegoats to offset your deep self-loathing. Thank you Jim Ratcliffe and Elon Musk for these important life lessons.

Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

Also, our #communitypayback system, based on the #Finland model, is a successful scheme which offers a more positive alternative to prison

Gopmaga politicians and their supporters better hope. That this doesn't happen to their mithers, aunties, sisters and female cousins.

And here too. Ravaged, smashed vestiges of a once important habitat.

A few days after the referendum an Eastern European student told me that they were now afraid to speak their mother tongue openly. While politicians drifted to the hard right, and Kuenssberg and Peston treated it all like some game, real people were and are still suffering.

Surprise, surprise - many of us knew leaving EU was greatest self-damage. Labour can win political argument for closer EU ties, says Rachel Reeves. Chancellor says stronger alignment with Europe is ‘biggest prize’ for trade and economic growth

Astronaut Sophie Adenot prepares for her first takeoff. At 43, this seasoned helicopter pilot is about to become the 11th French person – and only the second French woman – to travel to space. She will spend eight months aboard the International Space Station, setting a record for a European.

2+2=4 The Earth is round. Trump is a pedophile.

Of course

Canadian PM Carney said "what happened has left our nation in shock & all of us in mourning." "These children & their teachers bore witness to unheard-of cruelty. I want everyone to know this: Our country stands with you, on behalf of all Canadians," he said in an emotional address to parliament.

Might be a good time to point out ICE has been going into churches to nab people? And that a minister was knocked down and pepper sprayed?

Bondi is a disgrace to lawyers and a traitor to women! Shame on her.
