A woman gets duly elected by the people and the government refuses to allow her to do her job.

What the hell is going on in the US? What a shit government system you have there. It's an incredible mess.

In the USA a bag of Saline costs $1.50, and takes 30 seconds to put in your arm.

The Hospitals will charge you up to $800 for this, AND most Health Insurance won't cover it.

Do you really want Private Healthcare?

Well done to @europeanmovement.co.uk and all who signed this

Like Brexit, leaving the ECHR would inflict great damage on Britain and its people

European Movement UK @europeanmovement.co.uk · 6h

Over 55,000 people have called on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights, standing against a reckless push to repeat the mistakes of Brexit. Today their names were handed in, a reminder that this country still believes in cooperation, justice and the rule of law.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

Today's favourite piece of Tuscany art. The inlaid marble pavement of Duomo di Siena.

Sacrilege, perhaps, but this glorious floor put me in mind of Aubrey Beardsley's work.

Also, I don't think I've seen a finer interior to a cathedral than the one in Siena.

Sky News, "If the government agrees, with everyone from the Bank of England, to the OBR, to their own treasury research, that Brexit is a drag on economic growth"

"And that Labour's number one priority is that very growth itself"

"Why not do something about it?"

They're not even trying to hide it. Gone are the days in which these views were couched in doublespeak. The racism is on shameless, full display in the most powerful rooms in the federal government.
