Or she could just walk. Sarcopenia is a thing. It puts people in chairs and wheelchairs from ages over 60.

The recent Green win might just have woken the anti-bully leader in Starmer. If so, bring it on.

The way to avoid world war is to avoid getting involved (unless attacked).

Trump isn’t an ally. He’s an enemy. There is no special relationship. There is no relationship. Blair is a ghoul.

Who knew buses are a great way of sharing the cost of fuel…?!

FUCK TRUMP
FUCK FARAGE.

There. I rarely swear on here but my naughty words are piffling compared with the crimes that are Trump and Farage.

It sure is. Amazing work, Zack!

And look. If there’s any reliability in that projection, just see how the Greens are doing what Labour *should* be doing: standing up for the working class.

Bernie Sanders said the same about the Democrats. Stand up for them and make their lives better and more affordable.

If only. The UK rejoining the EU is now a matter of economic survival.

Go for it Iceland!

Labour must search its conscience if Reform wins Gorton and Denton, says Green leader Zack Polanski says Labour deliberately splitting left vote as voters head to the polls

It's Reform Vs the Green Party.

Vote for the Green Party.

A photo showing a long, low cupboard which is being made from plywood. It will have cupboard doors painted chocolate brown and natural wood colour for the top and shelves. It is set against a moody black wall.

Plywood love… my emerging mid-century shelving and cupboard unit (sideboard?). Not too shabby for a guy who refuses to buy all the tools…

Agree. I loved the β€œbendies” (introduced by Bendy Henry, no less).

They just need to travel in straight lines. Copying twisty routes like the 38 wasn’t ideal.

Before all that I had the idea of a β€œtramlike” service in Bournemouth, with beautiful accessible bus stops to attract mode shift.

Perhaps we should pay-per-bin. Then we might not waste so much.

Spinach
Miso
Seaweed sheet (I’ve got lots)
Cashew nuts

Simmer till ingredients cooked (not long).

Blitz to coarse consistency (to retain fibre) then serve with

Mixed oily seeds
Greek yogurt

Serve with sourdough bread!

Absolutely. Cars and NIMBYs rule. The housing and sustainability crisis has little to do with β€œplanners”.

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

…
- salt and pepper
- sprinkle of dried chilli flakes
- tsp honey (but fine left out if vegan)
- salt to taste (be careful as the miso and seaweed add salt too)

Slow cook for 60 mins minimum then blitz with a hand blender

Adjust herbs to taste.

Add your extras or just enjoy as it is.

Yumbles!

- onions
- celery
- 3 peppers
- tomato purΓ©e (1-2 tbsps)
- nori seaweed sheet
- miso (1 tbsp)
- tarragon
- herbes de Provence

Maybe it’s an assumption that Scotland (and Wales) is already independent?!

Maybe that’s a thing. The Scots at least will want nothing to do with a Farage government in Westminster!
