Farage want to end homeworking?I work for an integrated care board that manages the NHS in my area. We decide what services are needed and try and ensure they are run properly. The Tories cut our budget by 30%. Now we can't afford offices. Will Reform increase spending to provide us with offices?

My old mum had just phoned me to bring me the important news that A VERY LARGE WALRUS has been spotted on a beach in Fife Having now found a news article I can confirm this report is accurate www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar...

…the most pleasing way to reintroduce people to the concept of Heath Robinson inventions would be to reprint Norman Hunter’s Professor Branestawm with the original illustrations (please and thank you)
