Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

"Is Britain about to blow?" asks Matt Goodwin promoted a two hour special event on the subject.
Their greasy desperation for violence and carnage, so they can profit off it, is so disgusting.

Once again, if you are pointing to a mob and arguing that their violence is a justification for doing what you want, it’s your mob and your violence.

Finally. The UK government has rejected an application by farmers to use the bee-killing pesticide neonicotinoid.
The Conservatives approved its use for four years in a row.

Slowly but surely over time, without it ever having been planned that way, 'Tinsel and Lights' by @traceythorn.bsky.social has become the album I listen to when peeling parsnips and making bread sauce. It's perfect for our Christmas, and the singing is sublime.

We're nearly at the first full calendar year-end of the Gaza war. The normalisation of both (i) the enormous bloodshed (ii) and journalists still not being allowed in by the Israeli govt to report as to what's happening have been some of the grimmer features of the year.
