Last night's SKY is worth a look for anyone who missed it !
Back from early jab (left home at 7.22; medcentre at 7.28.50, no traffic !) now off to cut the long grass dangerously obscuring vision at a junction . Crossed a neighbour coming the other way en route for her factory, she'll appreciate my efforts as It was probably her who'd already had a try at it
Hats off to those serious people who had any business with Thump and his criminal accomplices .
I like the headline ....

As Ukraine’s agreement comes into force, those involved describe how negotiations were ‘like a mafia movie’
That whole plan to drive away all the people that previously supported you and then failing to get the people that hate you, to support you instead, doesn't stem to have worked very well.

What Labour needs is some FISCAL RULES ... money doesn't grow on trees !
" I've been in a dark place --- Essex, Britain . "
" Meanwhile, Morgan McSweeney, Starmer’s chief of staff, is understood to be wary about ceding too much ground on welfare in efforts to appease Labour MPs. A YouGov poll last year found that 60 per cent of the public, including more than 80 per cent of Conservative and Reform voters, supported the two-child benefit cap.
Reeves is engaged in bruising talks with ministers about controlling public spending as part of the review, and one ally of the chancellor said: “If we did what some people want on the benefit cap, that would add further pressures.”
An ally of Kendall said that, while the movement on winter fuel was welcomed by Labour MPs, bold action on child poverty would be more likely to sway them into backing reforms to sickness and disability benefits. “Child poverty is the thing that’s relevant in that debate,” they said.
A senior minister close to Starmer agreed: “We’ve got to do something on child poverty.”
