@richardhyland @reeveabby @dshensmith @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @KemiBadenoch @BearGrylls @DofE Independent Schools pay higher prices for all sorts of things; attending conferences, training, subscriptions for various services… Already not a level playing field: Don't apply VAT to independent school fees, or remove business rates relief.

Terribly sad news from St Joseph's Preparatory School in Stoke-on-Trent as they announce their closure. @EducationNotTax https://t.co/r0hSnaoyUC

In Georgia, country and city dwellers alike cultivate their own grapevines and have their own wine-making traditions. A marani, or wine cellar, is a household staple, and opening a family qvevri—buried clay vessels—is a celebratory event. 🇬🇪🍷

@BBCWomansHour @annatyzack @scummymummies @helen_thorn @itsanitarani The worst for me was after a fab party for my 3 or 4 year old son, a parent arrived with a bottle of wine and the intention of STAYING, leaving their little boy to play. I was desperate for them to clear off!

[Fiona Pocock @PocockFiona]

@Stagecoach_West The previous bus (?) has just arrived! Yay! But the app said the bus was cancelled and the next one 9.35am or thereabouts. I guess the app Live Map was ahead of itself.
