'Keir Starmer's Transformational Political Project is Being Grossly Underestimated' The relentless criticism of the Labour Government from a hostile media is completely at odds with its record and the historical context

It’s time for my annual search for this C16th miniature portrait of #ThomasCromwell, after #Holbein, stolen from Hever Castle in 2003. I’d love to see it returned to Hever. Have you seen it? Pls consider sharing!

Alleged Chinese spy linked to Prince Andrew named amid row over foreign interests register Claims surrounding businessman Yang Tengbo put spotlight on whether to designate China as enhanced risk

"A split between the Home Office, which wants China designated a threat, and the Treasury, which is relaying businesses' concerns."

What a time for the UK to be outside the EU! Just as the US embraces protectionism and China becomes a less viable partner... ~AA

Good morning, people of the sky. Oh wait, it’s afternoon. The day is whizzing by, isn’t it? It’s a chilly day here, but bright. Seasonal. Hope you all have a great day, whatever nonsense you get up to.

A warning to my friends: don’t chant the names of your meds so you don’t forget which ones to order. I just did, and summoned one of the lesser disease demons. His name is Al, and he doesn’t half fart a lot for a wee guy.
