  1. @Dolphinchaz thank you!

    We usually see them regularly around this time of year, south of you in , but they seem to prefer at the moment, a little further south from me. 💙

  3. This woman should be dismissed.

    She won't be, but she should.

    How dare she demonise people in this way? Where is her evidence for this assertion?

    Vile, vile creature.

    So much for 'change'. Kendall is piggy-backing a 'Tory mantra. The narrative needs to change, rather than fueling the 'undeserving' agenda.

    What about tax avoidance/evasion? Why aren't these people demonised? 😡

    Weather update.

    The day started dreich... this is 11.40 in #WhitleyBay which is 3.38 miles from #SouthShields as the crow flies (8 miles from the #Toon / #NewcastleuponTyne).

  6. How do you know you're getting old?

    I usually enjoy #SaturdayKitchen but today's screechy episode was not at all to my taste. Three 'effervescent' guests talking over each other was too much for this old gal.

  7. This is what over a decade of 'Tory mismanagement has done to national life. That schools need to host foodbanks should be regarded as a national scandal, yet it passes unnoticed by the media. It's a DISGRACE!

  12. "Compared to other countries, the UK does not spend a particularly high proportion of its national wealth on health care, while a decade of historically low funding increases has left services facing huge pressures and a workforce crisis. Like... how much is spent on health is a political choice and politicians should be honest with the public about the standards of care they can expect with the levels of funding provided."

  13. To those who are determined to change the system, please note:

    "There is little evidence that one particular ‘type’ of health care system or model of health care funding produces systematically better results than another. Countries predominantly try to achieve better health outcomes by improving their existing model of health care, rather than by adopting a radically different model."

    It's ridiculous to expect first rate care on the cheap.

  14. I watched the Channel 4 programme tonight 'NHS in Crisis? The Debate'.

    Unless I blinked and missed it... Oh just at the very end Matthew Taylor has mentioned poverty...

    I was about to say no one has mentioned austerity and the impact on the population, though there was some talk on the need for prevention rather cure

    Krishnan Guru-Murthy squeezed in as much as he could, but it really needed a longer programme.

  15. @GertrudeZane

    Thank you for taking the time Gertrude. (I had thought I should 'search' but you saved me the trouble.) I never found Converse comfortable, so I guess that's one reason I don't know the names... and my daughter always preferred Vans.

    I'm excited for November now... which is quite the turnaround from the hopelessness I had been feeling. (Whatever happens in the US affects us all at some point.)

    I wish we had our own #Harris_Walz combo in the UK!

  16. 'Northern Lights' over Charlie's Garden, Collywell Bay in Seaton Sluice.

    Will add more tomorrow (well, today actually).

    We drove up to Cresswell - disappointing, though a lovely evening. Dropped down to Newbiggin... saw a bit of a show, but nothing special.

    On the way home my daughter said "Look at that beam!" I pulled in when I could and it was amazing... it was almost like a rainbow in the dark. #WhitleyBay #SeatonSluice #NorthernLights

  17. I liked of 's contribution to 'Newsnight' following the poisonous Kendall's stoking hatred towards the vulnerable. Bit late posting this, but until the narrative changes it's still worth mentioning.

    Listen from 11.11 onwards

  20. @alexadeswift @therightarticle Starmer has already 'burned his boats' as far as I'm concerned.

    I wouldn't trust him in any situation. I don't think any "arse kicking and dragging" can fix a lack of integrity.

    He needs to go. Not that I'm suggesting it will happen. Unless in power he makes a bigger mess than Sunak in which case heaven help us all!

  22. It was excruciating watching Anneliese Dodds doing the media round this morning, with her squirming semantics.

    Nothing can justify admitting Natalie Elphicke to the Labour Party.

    She said she learned of the move 'when everyone else did.'

    If this is his handiwork, the charmless wonder should offer justification.

  27. @junesim63 first universities are (ridiculously) transformed into 'businesses', propped up in large part by the exorbitant fees charged to international students. (Don't get me started on the change in student attitudes as the fees increased, but that's a whole other topic.)

    Then the idiots in charge decide to change the business model without consultation or alternatives.

    'Tories REALLY don't know what the hell they're doing!

  28. This is painful to watch.

    Hearing the 'Tory representative whine on about how much money has been provided is immaterial.

    However much it may be, if it's not enough, then it's not enough!

    If citizens aren't healthy and supported then the country can't thrive. It's as simple as that.

    It's all about choices. And they've chosen to siphon off £££s to cronies rather than invest in the population and necessary infrastructure.

  29. Amongst the key findings:

    "The UK has some of the least generous welfare across the OECD: the UK ranks in the middle of OECD countries for welfare spending... and third lowest for welfare value (per cent of average wages)."

    Do Labour seriously think they were elected to cut the welfare bill (starting with the winter fuel payment)?

    Perhaps they think as soon as a person becomes disabled they should be euthanised? It's looking that way.
