@KSigMason @RepublicStaff @GrahamSmith_ Not just one Grand Lodge, THE Grand Lodge. The Grand Master of UGLE (currently #NotMyKing's cousin) is the most senior freemason in the country.

If you're ever in London be sure to visit Freemasons Hall.

Punch, November 1860. The 8th Earl of Elgin, holding the cannonball, ordered the looting and destruction of the Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan). His father looted Greece.

@Shanghai_Rose The BM bookstore might still have copies (I bought mine at the exhibition), if not, you'll probably need to look at non-UK sellers to avoid paying an astronomical price. There's a copy here for £34.84 (you might get lucky!): https://t.co/3IG3UygM9J

@Feargal_Sharkey @horton_official @unitedutilities #phytoremediation can resolve this problem. @StockportMBC can be at the forefront of demonstrating why hemp is a miracle plant and

Swinging London stood on the shoulders of the giant that was Mary Quant. She wrote history. Never to be forgotten.

Dame Mary Quant (1930-2023)

It’s impossible to overstate Quant’s contribution to fashion. She represented the joyful freedom of 1960s fashion, and provided a new role model for young women.

Fashion today owes so much to her trailblazing vision.

Reports on deadly air strikes in Myanmar's Sagaing Region are horrifying.

eCommerce now accounts for 30% of the total retail market in the UK (up from 20% in 2020) but his Labour government will get our high streets thriving again by cutting runaway energy bills.

How do you revamp an empty shop? Give it a lick of paint?

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

My Labour government will grow our economy and get our high streets thriving again.

Right now, we’d cut business rates, stamp out late payments and cut energy bills for our shops, pubs and cafes.

And we’d revamp empty shops and tackle antisocial behaviour.
