Four Seasons Total Landscaping is now stocking the new book by Liz Truss. We have copies in both the kindling and mulch sections. Oh, and there's some in the bathroom.
The Bank of England bailed out Burnham and sabotaged me. Read all about it in Bank Job.

My morale improved when I looked at your polling numbers. Does that count?
Has your life improved in the last 100 days? In any way? Have your bills gone down? Do you feel richer? Safer? Has your local community improved at all? For the average person, the answer is a resounding NO. Burnham is making tweaks as broken Britain slides further into terminal decline. He’s a talker, not a doer. He hasn’t changed the country one bit so far, and isn’t going to. We need fundamental change - and that's what I will bring. In our first 100 days, we will: Put the Royal Navy in the Channel and stop the boats forever. Begin the mass exit of over 1 million people who illegally entered Britain. We will make it impossible to live here illegally, so many will leave voluntarily. But, make no mistake, the deportation of those who don’t will be enforced. We will increase your tax-free personal allowance from £12,570 to £15,000 to keep money in your pocket. We’ll reduce your annual energy bills by £250. We’ll charge NO interest on loans for nursing students, lift the cap on medical school places and cut student loan issuance by 20%. If my ministers fail to deliver, I'll sack them. Simple as. The stakes have never been higher. It's time we have a government that acts like it.

Restore Britain is an unashamedly pro-shooting party. It is a vital part of rural Britain, helping supply British game to local butchers, restaurants, pubs and households. It supports gamekeepers, farmers, rural businesses, food processors, hospitality jobs and more. It pumps millions and millions into parts of rural Britain that are entirely forgotten by Westminster - very often at times of the year when otherwise local businesses would perish. We want to see more British game on dinner tables, at home but also across the public sector. Let’s serve more game in our schools, hospitals and other public sector institutions. Why not? Rather than importing cheap meat from the other side of the planet. Use what we have here. A Restore Britain Government will proudly celebrate the food produced in our countryside and the people whose livelihoods depend on it. Something urban MPs, the vast majority of them, will never understand. Restore Britain supports responsible shooting.

A "donor" is a benefactor. A "donation" is an act of giving. What Elon Musk is doing is leveraging the power of his enormous wealth to influence voters to bend to his agenda. I think you need a different word, dear @wapo
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history. Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

Weird dude
🚨 Mikel Arteta: “I'm going to put sensors on the touchline! There are managers that have the record in the league, 36 times in 10 minutes, leave the touchline… and no yellows”. “So I'm clipping ALL of that. So I have a massive storage of images now”.
