Two billionaires who live abroad are planning to sidestep the Government's £100,000 cap on overseas donations. It's clear we need to kick big money out of our politics entirely with a donations cap. Please sign the petition. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/194728/...

Should the world’s richest man, Elon Musk have a slice of the UK energy market? I don’t think so, which is why I added my name to the petition to Ofgem demanding they reject Tesla's application to supply energy here in the UK. Join me and add your name too?

I don't think I know a single fan who believes the issue with MOTD is that it shows too much football.
Match of the Day should show fewer Premier League highlights and more analysis, says BBC chairman Samir Shah.

The BBC has a deal to show highlights of top-flight matches until the end of the 2028-29 season, with Match of the Day broadcast on Saturday evenings and MOTD2 on Sunday evenings.

Shah told the Sunday Times that many fans had watched Premier League goals and action before Match of the Day is broadcast.

Shah said the show "should not be built around highlights".

He added: "It should be built around analysis and examination of the match to give viewers a deeper insight."

Nice to guess right! Had to lose TAA or VVD to fund and make way for Slot. Figured TAA would be pulled early so less risk of losing clean sheet points. #fpl

I have joined several of my @libdems.org.uk colleagues in writing to the Transport Secretary to voice our concern about the proposed expansion of Heathrow. The environmental costs of a third runway put both our planet and our community at risk. Labour could see this in opposition, why not now?

A third runway at #Heathrow in the midst of a climate emergency is a vile act of vandalism. Rachel Reeves is happy to burn the planet for a tiny (probably elusive) increment of GDP. How does this benefit us? Article coming later today.

I remain opposed to a new runway at Heathrow airport because of the severe impact it will have on noise, air pollution and meeting our climate change targets.

hunt through bag
look in drawer
 
feel coat pockets
peer in pot
rifle desk
find them not
 
shake out shoes
lift up hat
inspect fridge
ask the cat
 
scour the shelves
peek in purse
turn out cupboards
swear & curse
 
go to shop
buy new stamps
put in wallet

Today’s poem is called ‘This is Not the Poem I Had Hoped to Write’.
This is Not the Poem I Had Hoped to Write
 
This is not the poem I had hoped to write
when I sat at my desk and the page was white.
You see, there were other words I’d had in mind,
yet this is what I leave behind.
 
I thought it was a poem to eradicate war;
one of such power, it would heal all the sores
of a world torn apart by conflict and schism.
But it isn’t.
 
Lovers, I’d imagined, would quote from it daily,
Mothers would sing it to soothe crying babies.
And whole generations would be given new hope.
Nope.
 
I had grand aspirations. Believe me, I tried.
Humanity examined with lessons applied.
But the right words escaped me; so often they do.
Have these in lieu.
