Well that’s a horrific image… why would anyone ban cheese toasties?

It’s probably an investment in future tax cuts and government contracts if they can get their friends elected

I prefer opinions of people who didn’t remain in contact with Epstein after his conviction.

I want to knit, but I want to skip the bit where I have to learn how to follow patterns and count stitches and just be at the bit where I can make fancy things

Serious question because I don’t know if this would work but could you put a bra on a mannequin and pad it to the right size?

Maybe Farage could take a citizenship test to find out more about how British elections work.

Sounds like a PR statement more than journalism

And Badenoch’s response is to scold the silly electorate for their poor choices

NK Jemisin is good for this.

If I hire someone to paint my house and they do a great job, but then pee in one corner of the room, I no longer care what the other walls look like. Anti immigrant rhetoric and policies have created this mess for Labour.

Cooper’s hawk maybe?

The extremes on the right want 20% of the population out of the country. The extremes on the left want publicly owned water and clean rivers.

Not the progressives fault if reform supporters don’t know how to vote.

That would imply self awareness and capacity for reflection

* let's skip over the eventual fate of the winning candidate.

In the first election I voted in, labour sent out mailers discouraging tactical voting in that constituency and the lib dem candidate* won by two votes. Just something I am thinking about today for no reason.

Seems to me by-elections get more attention to individual candidates, so hopefully that counts in her favour.

Those of us who lost family members in the fumbled Covid response might not agree.

What’s nice is that we don’t have to choose

We need some culinary visa class to be made available to anyone who wants to open Ethiopian and Mexican restaurants in the UK.

I guess the British taxpayers might be paying for his accommodation for a few more years after all.

Four ex-tories. Only Farage, Pochin, Tice and Anderson were elected as Reform and are still Reform.

A green labyrinth within a darker green circle embroidered on white linen. The path of the labyrinth curves back and forth within the circle in a design based around a cross. The embroidered line blends between darker and lighter shades of green to reach an oval at the center. This design is based on the Breamore Mizmaze in Hampshire.

A close up of the embroidery of the Breamore Mizmaze showing the shading and lines in more detail but cutting off part of the labyrinth design. This embroidery is satin stitch with a stem stitch outline.

A square labyrinth design in cream embroidery on an olive green linen background. This is based on the St Catherine's hill Mizmaze near Winchester, the only square turf maze of the eight historic mazes in England.

A closer view of the St Catherine's Mizmaze embroidery. It is completed in overlapping chain stitch creating an almost knitted effect in the line, with a small cream flower in detached chain stitch in the centre.

For the last month or so I have been distracting myself from *waves hands at world* by fixating on old English turf mazes. Heres some embroidery based on the two mizmazes in Hampshire at Breamore and on St Catherine's hill.

He's been to the Trump school of dealing with uppity female journalists

Scratching my head to remember without looking it up which reform MPs didn’t make it into their pretend-shadow cabinet. Pochin, boy baby Prue Leith and who else?

Need a different term. Maybe shoddy cabinet?

He’s just there to stop Suella and Bobby accidentally doing the right thing again

They aren’t a shadow cabinet, they aren’t the opposition, they are not even all MPs. This is nonsense and you know it.

Ok, but farthings were super cute.

And “Britain needs Remarw” over on the far side of the door
