I know some of you wanted the Chancellor to fall back and use a precedent that hasn't been used for over 180 years to deny Farage the option to step down as an MP...but her reasoning to grant it is sound... ...who is she to stop Farsge spending the summer arguing with a bin?

Final scene of our 'office' for the day. Meal and drinks at Rock water. Day spent in Hove.
Our 'office' for the day! Work summer get together today and tomorrow on the hottest days of the year so far! Thankfully tomorrow we are in a more traditional office space!
So, as has been common through the last weekz through Friday and into the weekend, the line from No 10 is the PM will not resign, will fight any leadership contest. They also say there is no scheduled statement for tomorrow. 1/2

This table from wikipedia showing 9 new medical schools from 2021 onwards is very promising! Hopefully the new dentistry schools announced today can be followed up with more in the years to come.
Quick summary of where the dental schools are in the UK. Surprising how they are skewed to the North and Scotland and there wasn't one at all in the South East region until today's announcement, despite a population of 9.5m.
10 million That is how many free breakfasts have been served to over 300,000 children across 1250 schools, saving families moneuy and ensuring kids are well fed and settle in school so they are ready to learn when lessons start. 5 million The number of hours of free child care... 1/4

Really fed up about the divisionary comments from Burnham, trying to set the 'north' against the 'south' or 'London'. It's no better than some of the tactics by Reform. So here is a game.... Which are each of these pictures from? The 'poor' north, in and around Makerfield... 1/2
Yes! Britain continues to break clean power records with households across the UK continuing to embrace solar power, as the government accelerates its clean power mission! 269,000 solar installations were completed in 2025 - 37% up on the year before. 255,000 of these were rooftop solar! 1/2
