realtallstuhull Reform UK are apparently going to send out an 8 page flyer to 15 million homes. Not that I'm suggesting that you send them back, so they have to pay for the return postage. But if you are, you might find this useful.

Judging by the surge in RNLI donations I suspect attacking RNLI volunteer heroes will simply accelerate the decline of Reform UK in the polls ... meme via Andrew Miller

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

Has anyone asked Farage why someone ringing the doorbell at his daughter's house leaves him incandescent with rage, but a mother sobbing her fear over her children's future in Piddington makes him laugh?

Once again, the Reform party is the lead story on the BBC and, what a shocker, it is not a damning take on yet more sleaze in our politics. At what point does Chris Mason expect us to stop paying the license fees and send the money straight to Reform?

Any politician calling to leave the ECHR is lying about what that will achieve. It won’t solve any problem or improve our lives It will make us worse off and remove our rights. Just like Brexit.

(3/3) Dolly called and asked if there was any way to help with this tragedy. Abumrad replied she was on a vaccine research team but it was expensive and they were still seeking grants.

(2/3) had been in a small accident and was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center for a checkup with Dr. Abumrad as an attending. They became fast friends and Dolly here and there would call her to ask her questions about things she heard in the news. Years later, when COVID's death toll was climbing,

(1/3) With Dolly Parton's passing, I want to put good words on the wind for her. Feel free to quote reply with your own. Dolly became the single largest donor for the Moderna COVID vaccine because of a chance encounter and friendship with a Vanderbilt researcher Dr. Naji Abumrad years earlier. She
