@272BookFaith Agree. It's not world dress up day. There are much better and cheaper ways to foster a love of books. Unnecessary pressure on parents to sort costumes and more plastic and nylon tat to harm the environment.
I know it’s Grinchy, but I just KEEP thinking of the difference it could make to authors, & UK publishing. if all the ££ spent on #WorldBookDay costumes went on new books instead, or if each school pooled together all that costume ££, & paid for an author or illustrator visit.
Dear Mr Vice President @JDVance, 34 years ago today I was released from captivity with the fellow American #DesertStorm Prisoners of War I had proudly fought alongside. Many friends, Brit & US, didn't survive.
Fellow veterans politely add your own photos & details, & tag the VP?
Hey everyone. So, I have news. We are relocating to Northumberland and so our house in Whitstable, Kent is up for sale and is chain free. Would be grateful for shares!! We have been very happy here and know someone else will be. Thank you 🙏

The weak coward Donald Trump who got his rich daddy to get him five deferments so he didn't have to fight in Vietnam is going to pause aid on the brave people of Ukraine who are fighting an enemy 20 times their size and holding them to a standstill.
It's disgusting. It's wrong.
🚨NEW: Ontario Premier Doug Ford has canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contracts : “It’s done, it’s gone. We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”
RETWEET to thank Ford for standing up to Musk!
Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.
To all of the British and French families who lost loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past 20 years of war, protecting the freedoms of the entire Western world, you are most certainly not forgotten or dismissed. We remember you and love you.
Thank you for your service❤️
Quick reminder about all the traitors who gleefully went to the US to celebrate Trump's inauguration:
Nigel Farage
Liz Truss
Priti Patel
Boris Johnson
Suella Braverman
Laurence Fox
Who else?
Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.
Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight.
Not when our country is at stake.
Seven years ago today in Salisbury, a former Russian military officer and his daughter Yulia, were poisoned by Russian agents on the orders of Putin, with the deadly nerve agent Novichok. Both spent weeks in a critical condition in hospital. A Wiltshire police officer, Nick Bailey, was taken into intensive care after attending the incident. Later that year, my constituent Dawn Sturgess, an innocent member of the public, died following contact with debris casually discarded by the Russian agents. When we reflect on the loss of life and the audacity of Russia’s actions we should be left in no doubt about the character and outlook of Putin. In today’s changing world we need to build an enduring security arrangement with our neighbours in Europe to protect ourselves from future threats and attacks. Russia is not our friend and we must be prepared for all manifestations of their malevolence in future.
🚨BREAKING: The Trump Administration has officially paused all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, abandoning our allies as they face a Russian invasion.
RETWEET if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin!
Journalists need to stop accepting this false frame from Trump that he is trying to negotiate a peace deal between Ukraine and Putin. He is not. He is throwing the Ukrainians under the bus and embracing Putin. That is NOT mediation.
By suspending all military aid to Ukraine, Donald Trump has humiliated the people who pretended he was a reliable ally only in search of peace.
The UK and Europe must seize frozen Russian assets to resist Putin’s unjust and savage war.
For the record: Ukraine gave the United States all its Nuclear Weapons in 1994 for a promise of its sovereignty and protection. The United States needs to honor that promise.
