The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

Stop calling them "cats." They're house gremlins. We just happen to like them

Richard Norris Williams was advised to have his legs amputated after he survived the sinking of the Titanic, but he instead walked it off and won the Men’s Doubles Championships at Wimbledon in 1920.

We are lucky to have a very talented artist who has painted several beautiful and striking murals in our neighborhood. My favourite is the stained glass window on the end of the Methodist church.

Store electricity produced by solar during the day, and release it at night. That is happening all over the world. It is still far cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient than using fossil fuels. Battery costs have plummeted in the past decade, and battery capacity is growing exponentially.

Nigel Farage claimed that Warwickshire County Council had blocked Reform’s inquiries into their financial accounts.

The truth? Reform never made any inquiries.

Nigel Farage wasn't telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform wants to be obstructed by council workers, but it has to try first

There are two futures for UK energy:

Farage’s Trump-style Britain of high bills & climate chaos — or the Liberal Democrats plan, investing in the cheapest, cleanest sources of energy.

Let’s choose progress.

There's something comforting about going for a lunchtime walk in autumn when the weather is cool, moist and overcast. There's a rightness having the right weather in the right season.

I would say so; it's already by far the superior song.

So do all these frog costumes being worn in Portland mean that We All Stand Together is now a more relevant peace anthem than Imagine?

It's now clear that the gov't are NOT proposing to repeal the Protected Landscapes duty 🙌

A huge thank you to the more than 200 charities, businesses & organisations who joined us in writing to Keir Starmer 💚

Now to focus on improving our Protected Landscapes...
www.cnp.org.uk/news/plans-t...

Plans to weaken Protected Landscapes Duty quietly dropped

Westminster government published its list of amendments for the Planning and Infrastructure Bill and there are no proposals to weaken protections for National Parks.

Autumn is a great time for noticing the beauty of our waterways and why it's so important to protect them.

Nigel Farage never did answer why he met the Russian Ambassador.

All he did was call the interviewer a nutcase.

This interview is a real insight in to how little Nigel Farage likes being asked about his ties to Russia.
