" ...an advisory referendum was won by a gang of Brexiters who broke the rules for financing their campaign. Not to put too fine a point upon it, they conned a fair proportion of the electorate with a pack of lies about the virtually nonexistent benefits of Brexit."

Trump has earned $2.3 billion since the beginning of his presidency through 4 different crypto schemes.

The common denominator for each: the Trumps win big, and you lose.

Isn't this so lovely to see?
The difference providing water makes.
This dear little family were once lacklustre and listless, just sitting around look thin and drained.
Just a bucket of water and they are puppies again, playing and having fun, as all fox cubs should.🥰
It may be cooler but it's still so dry. Please put out water for our struggling wildlife.

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

No, Carl is very wrong.
Hedgehogs are NOT usually covered in ticks.
Ticks are parasites that are attracted to the smell of infection and disease.
And a hedgehog out in the open in the day like this is seriously ill and needs treatment from a rescue (never a vet) urgently.
I hope Carl deletes this awful misleading and harmful post.
It's fabulous news that you have a hedgehog in your garden - you are privileged, as they are so rare now.
I hope you provide clean water every night and some safe food. That will be a life saver!❤️

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

Carl this is a horrifying photo.
Any hedgehog out in the day is seriously ill and needs taking to a rescue urgently.
And hedgehogs certainly are not usually covered with ticks!
While ticks themselves aren’t cause for concern, they are an indicator of an underlying disease, as the ticks are attracted to the smell of illness.

@MichaelTakeMP I would never dream of being so audacious as to ask questions about any plans regarding “the the the the the the” (sic) house sir, especially as you are such private ciitizens. As the honourable Nige (who is a very famous and public person said “ Nobody cares”.

I really have seen every make and model of bird enjoy this water.
Some so surprising, like this buzzard and jays.
Yet through them all, the squirrel still photobombs.😁

Darling Anya’s babies in a hoggle. 😍
These five precious lives have only been on this earth for two weeks, yet in that time they have achieved an amazing transformation.
Their newborn white spines are hardly visible now among all the brown spines which have grown. And their baby pink skin has been pigmented brown.
Their little flat faces - so perfect for feeding from mum - have begun elongating into a snout, and their tiny ears are starting to open.
Underneath those bulging eyelids are brand-new, freshly formed eyes. Tomorrow those eyelids will open for the first time and these dear little babies will see the world they have been born into.
Anya is already leaving them alone in the daytime, allowing them to sleep, in preparation for them being the nocturnal animal they were born to be. She sleeps in the house next door, and pops in on them just a couple of times in the day now, making most of the feeds at night.

Neoliberalism, trickle down economics, the Chicago school of economics call it what you will, it is no longer the high alter of intellectual thinking, it has been exposed as a fraud, possibly the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the British people.

As my friend Stewart rather brilliantly explains. 👇👇👇Those about to rewrite monetary policy in this country would serve themselves well to study it carefully.

MSP Helen McDade asked the Scottish Parliament for specialist clinics in every NHS board area for #MECFS & #LongCovid. There are 100,000 people in Scotland with these conditions but Government funding for specialist support is only £40 per person.

Alistair Campbell after the 2016 Brexit referendum,

"Just shocked that we've made such a catastrophically stupid decision. And the world is looking on thinking: didn't you used to be a serious country?"

"I also think there's a lot of buyers remorse"

"On my way here.. A woman said she felt bad for voting leave. I asked: why did you do that then?"

"And she said: I didn't realise that if you voted leave you'd have to leave"

"And you think: oh my god"

"All these people who fell for these lies"

"It's a catastrophe and we're only at the beginning of the consequences playing out"
