If only we could have government & politics for the good of 1. The people 2. The country. Sadly for so many, it's about selfgain/interest & preserving the name/hiding transgressions of a particular political party. Thank goodness for Keir Starmer - no, not an entertainer ... a wise & honest leader!

Whatever teachers get paid, IT ISNT ENOUGH! My trip to London built round supervision of friend's 13yr old😱 Couldn't be left for fear of burning house down. Intelligent, articulate & cheeky! Says he's gonna report me for making death threats -discipline! Loved the chess/scrabble/Chinese & Simpsons!❤️

Eat your heart out, Karen Carpenter ... youtu.be/mWiyER6n6Lk?...

Let’s not forget that it was American CIA money that paid for the ‘Persian’ uprising back in the 70s that ousted the Shah of Iran & now they want to reinstate what? Who? A new ayatollah is already known to the leadership - we just don’t know who it is yet. Their succession planning runs deep.

Trying to enjoy every aspect of life, no matter how simple, cos you never know what's round the corner. Let's collectively hope for something to happen to put the brakes on madman trump & would-be dictator Net Net - sooner rather than later. Human life is not collateral loss in their sick game.

Sound advice ... and possibly the inspiration for that unmistakable song from Rick Astley??? ❤️🙃😘

Chartwell continued ... even if the weather's a bit grey and the sun is struggling to put in an appearance, we owe it to ourselves to have the best time ever!!

Next stop on my perfect Sunday ... visit to Chartwell. One of my favourite NT houses! Quick tour of house, followed by coffee and cake 😋😋😋 Best of all ... I wasnt doing the driving! 😉😉😘

Spring is on its way ... surely 🙆‍♀️🙃

Perfect Sunday? I think so ... The Castle Inn at Chiddingstone for a delicious roast with my lovely friends. Walk in castle grounds & village.

Imagine the party the world would have if trump were no longer!

RETWEET!

When will Trump be awarded the FIFA War Prize?

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:

He’ll want to drag us all into this. Our leaders across the globe need to remember ‘he’s not our friend anymore’. He’s made that very fucking clear and we should all respond in kind.

While the rest of the world are hoping and praying that Americans just might do the bloody same…

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail. Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

Impeachment ... NOW!

And a UN resolution. This has got to stop ... unless Trump, Netanyahu, and everyone they care, put themselves on the front line.

Getting in early to wish everyone a very happy St David's Day. Wales; a very diverse and beautiful place to visit! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

South East London ... trip down memory lane: my childhood!

Eltham Palace - renovated by Henry VIII, but largely ignored by the royals.

Eltham Palace: medieval meets 1920s onwards. A beautiful space! The Great Hall and Art Deco innovation!

What does the renowned and respected medical journal know?!!

Blimey - is she any relation to Liz Truss?

Keir Starmer has achieved so much in such a short time. I'm pleased & proud to have him as my PM. Just think what he can achieve in another 2 years. Didn't even need IT training like Boris. God knows what training bill would have been, had Lettuce Liz stayed on! All we need now is a new ballroom!

What can we deduce from this bi-election? 🤔 Clearly the Greens will romp home at next GE with reform second🙄 Get a grip: it's a frigging bi-election. Just pleased protest vote went to Greens. God bless G&D @Keir_Starmer v gracious/pragmatic in defeat, Kemi would have spun it as tory victory.

Love it!

State of the Union speech, with STATE being the operative word! Asylum calling for Trump!

Evidence of intelligence and common sense, more like!

Not just a loser. But a bad loser.

So the Telegraph is taking this well

Wow!

Because Mark Carney has far more class, intelligence, dignity, gravitas and integrity in his little finger than trumpety trump has in his whole blubbery!

I came through a suburb of Bristol called Dundry. From almost every lamppost hung a George Cross flag & on white background signs, red crosses are painted. The council are doing nothing about the illegality of it all & it’s a crime to do these things Bristol city council really need to deal with it

51% Welsh ... proud to be so, with this man being one of the reasons why! Visit Laugharne! And New Quay. And Aberaeron. Channel your inner Dylan Thomas!

How old AM I? Beyond excited as just got my ticket for the Del Amitri tour in Nov. Stalls, J11 & I know ALL the words to at least FOUR of their albums!!! Went to see them a lot in the '90s - got me through nasty breakup & restored joy to my life! Luv ya, Justin!❤️ youtu.be/Ify_f6XoqMU?...

Yay - the sun really has come ... but don't think it's staying for very long. Great to get out to Stowe for coffee, cake and a healthy helping of Vitamin D!

youtu.be/NCcNGBuFofU?... ❤️❤️❤️

'state' being the operative word!

Thanks, Twitter, for this one!

Surely he'd have to firstly know where it is, in order to get there?

This has got to stop. I hate the USA!

I see Toys-R-Us are marketing their new Shadow Home Secretary Dressing Up Kit (ages 5-8). It comes with podium, name plate, dummy microphone, smart suit and an idiot.😊

Personally, I'd love to secure our borders ... with the proviso that nige, Zia, kems and all other reformed tories are on the other side to me!

More of a whimper than a blast, but it IS getting a little warmer ... yay! Bring on the Spring! youtu.be/xUNqsfFUwhY?...

In my humble opinion - one of the best long songs ever written. Simple, accurate & honest. ONJ cover is my favourite. "If not for you, Babe I couldn't even find the door ..." - AND, with my sense of direction, that line is sadly true (though not metaphorically!) youtu.be/-PCV-BTg_6w?... 🤭😉 ❤️❤️❤️
