Five years ago, we brought home an acorn from Grasmere, and planted it, not really expecting much but we were hoping for a tree of remembrance. For four years it sat in the corner, quietly doing its thing, until this year, when it has decided it's actually going to become a tree! We are hoping to move in the quite near future, and our tree will finally get its 'forever home'. I'm very proud of the little fella, so thought I'd share.

Today:

"Farage now turns his focus to the issue of the NHS, which he calls "the big one" and an issue that needs a "genuine radical rethink".

"We're not getting bang for our buck," he says, adding that there's a growing level of disenchantment that the service is not fit for purpose.

He says the UK should look at how other funding models work, such as France."

In other words - he wants everyone to simply pay for it when they need it.

Exactly as I have been warning about for years.

Farage is on record many times as saying there should be no free healthcare in the UK and that you pay for it, either at the time or via insurance.

No. No. No.

Are they actually nuts? Every political party is allowed a 5 minute broadcast, so I thought I'd watch Reform UK's to see what their policies are. This was the opening image - fair enough. But after a minute, I thought it would move on to having someone explaining their policies, but no - just this still image, no sound, for 5 minutes.
