I can't be alone in spotting the irony that has emerged with Starmer's gov resignations: Homelessness Minister for hiking rents on her own tenants; Anti-Corruption Minister because of corruption allegations in the family; Health Minister for hoping pensioners die: and now Raynor
In the attempt to force Angela Raynor out of the government happening despite the PM’s latest reset or because of it?
"Why did you do all this for me?" Wilbur asked. "I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you." "You have been my friend," replied Charlotte. "That in itself is a tremendous thing." from Charlotte's Web by E. B. White

LOOK AND READ - DARK TOWERS (1981): Classic spookiness from the BBC's literacy strand for primary school kids. Written by Andrew Davies (Marmalade Atkins, A Very Peculiar Practice, House of Cards), with songs by Derek Griffiths!
Great read, with one particular paragraph bringing much LOLs.

I'm staying at a hotel in Torquay, just had breakfast next to an English couple with one child, they were asked to move tables so a 'Lord Melbury' could have their table by the window. Later, they waited almost an hour for a gin & orange, a lemon squash and a scotch and water.

A poem for the start of August © C.P. Davis, 2025
Today is Lammas, an Anglo-Saxon harvest festival celebrated on 1 August. The name comes from the Old English word 'hlafmæsse', 'loaf-mass', so it's a festival of bread - perhaps a day for blessing loaves of bread made from the first wheat of the harvest. patreon.com/posts/weaving-…
Hey man nice gap in the literature. Has it been strangely overlooked?
This could genuinely break Starmer. He’s made his big Palestine pledge, but he’s also never met an international law he didn’t love.
