Have you ever read the Stone Book Quartet by Alan Garner? Not one of his best known books; four interlinked stories inspired by his stone mason ancestors. As a Cheshire lass's, albeit descended from salt miners and fustian cutters, it sings to me.

If Starmer goes it will be another example of the negative effect the USA has on us. An honorable man with no connection to Epstein and his network punished whilst the rapist in chief remains.

We need as many people as possible to agree with putting in place more ways to increase funding rather than making cuts and essentially punishing those who are already suffering. Tax the Rich – Wealth Tax Now www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

My advice to Starmer and all our politicians. Don't take the bait of the orange nutter. Don't show offence, don't demand apologies,don't negotiate.Just ignore him, never refer to him. Let him believe the King's visit is going ahead. Imagine how stupid he will look when Charles doesn't arrive.

It is probably too much to ask to expect Americans to desist from commenting on governments other than their own. However there is no need for the BBC to lead on Musk's call for insurrection or the random opinions of the family of a victim of Epstein.

He caused havoc with Brexit. Don’t let him do it again - here’s five red flags about what Farage said today. Hit share to show him we see through him.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

I do not agree with Starmer's populist language. For most of the people he is trying to please, immigration means small boats. Establishing an immigration centre in Calais would allow us to process demands speedily and take away trade from the people smugglers.

I keep singing it to the tune of Sweet Caroline

My new Reform councillor is surprised that he will have to go to meetings in Stafford. He didn't understand the difference between the County Council and the District Council.

Donald Trump is ramping up his trade wars and crashing the global economy. He's not sparing the UK from his new tariffs, so why should we roll out the red carpet for him with a second state visit?

Lovely to chat with #ReformUK canvassers in Leek. They seemed confused about the status of their organisation and assured me that Mr Farage no longer in control. Suggested I check companies house so I did!

Bercow was infinitely better than the stooge Lindsay Hoyle. RT if you agree and to wind Nigel Farage up.

Looks like the tech bros are censoring us. Try buying #CarelessPeople on Kindle. They take your payment but it fails to download

Ordered a Nordace bag and then panicked because I thought it was an American company. Turns out it is Canadian😇

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

Name 2 nations without which the world would be better off.

For those of you involved with SEND. I have just finished reading my granddaughter's updated EHC. I can maybe accept the appalling spellings and lack of ability to write in coherent sentences but the obvious cut and paste with the name of another child finished me off.

Education isn’t memorizing that Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required. Real education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself. We must never forget what hate does to us. #NeverAgain

The day has arrived. It's Janeys birthday, post her picture and get yourself off Twitter!!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Can you imagine your child having intractable epilepsy and consultants insisting on filling your child with ketamine whilst refusing this alternative which is safely used in the Netherlands and Canada?

Good start to the day 108/180 on KW Quiz 2024.😀

Heartbreaking stories of parents facing awful dilemmas because of the barriers to legal cannabis medicines in the UK #cannabis #epilepsy #NHS

File on 4 Canbabis Kids now on Radio 4 or I player. Blueskiers ignored my previous post. I guess you don't care that kids with intractable epilepsy are being failed/killed by doctors and government

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... One of these children has been treated with a range of anti epileptic drugs some of which are not licensed for children. She has also been given phenytoin and ketamine with very little effect. This is national disgrace.

Well done Jess

Elon Musk thinks there is a hidden grooming scandal in Oldham. Why can’t the police find it? open.substack.com/pub/themill/... If you live in Manchester you may already be aware of the high quality investigative journalism by The Mill.This deserves national exposure.

I have limited reserves of compassion and cannot spare any for inhabitants of a rich state in the richest country in the world who have maintained their lifestyle by overexploiting natural resources and failing to react to changes in the natural world which many of them deny.

“It was Starmer who changed the rules to make more prosecutions possible. That happened and there was a huge increase in convictions.” He also told @TheNewsAgents: "These girls are being exploited all over again. Politicians jumping on the bandwagon after years of silence is shameful".

Farage describes Musk as a champion of free speech for calling a woman who has spent her working life protecting women from abuse, a witch and a rape apologist. This isn't free speech it is mysogyny pure and simple.
