No issues at all with tackling unscrupulous employers. Without a genuine bridging visa system, which allows those migrants affected a chance to find new jobs and new visa routes, it leaves people either becoming undocumented, or having their lives upturned.

The organisers of the Great North Run have apologised after finisher T-shirts and medals were printed with a map of rival north-east city Sunderland instead of Newcastle.
About 600,000 took part in the half marathon on Sunday, running 13.1 miles from the centre of Newcastle, across the River Tyne, and through Gateshead, finishing by the coast in South Shields. Continue reading...

Enjoyed a glorious day out at RHS Harlow Carr on Friday. I definitely need to add more late summer colour in my own garden.
(I've been trying to do this for a couple of years – but most of my new 'late summer' plants peaked early in the hot dry weather!)

A reminder that the Royal Family claim £500,000,000 a year in benefits even though they have £22bn.
While 650 MP's get an extra £150,000,000 in benefits a year on top of their £94,500 salaries.
If we are cracking down on benefits, start here.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

"Some tenants have single glazed windows that are completely rotten. We think it is because King Charles does not like the look of double glazing, but you have to be careful what you say because they are so powerful."
King owns dozens of rental homes that don't meet vital minimum energy standards
After examining Energy Performance Certificates for scores on the West Norfolk estate, we have found more than 30 properties owned by the King fail to meet minimum requirements

Obligatory snow picture. It is very pretty. There isn't a huge amount of snow and it is melting, so I'll enjoy the view while it lasts.
