NEW I’m taking legal action over school VAT for my daughter’s sake - first legal action against government’s plan to charge 20% VAT on private schools ⁦@thetimesthetimes.com/article/4ac916…


Hopefully a genuine mistake . Another theory perhaps fed misinformation by the council or portfolio holder. Worrying if so.

174 years ago there was a huge storm in northern Scotland, and it uncovered something strange. From beneath the soil emerged a perfectly preserved village older than the Pyramids, and it even had furniture. This is the 5,000 year old story of Skara Brae...

Milan’s airport, Malpensa, started testing passengers from Beijing and Shanghai on Monday. The first flight from China brought 35 of 62 passengers who were @Covid positive, while on the second 62 were positive out of 120. Why is the UK, again, not testing flights from China?

Reminder that in 2008 the British Medical Association voted to cap the intakes of medical students and ban opening new medical schools.


Democracy and accountability need to extend to the well paid senior managers who should be able to justify in the public square how they manage budgets for e.g training and recruitment

When will top NHS managers tell us their plan to recruit and retain enough nurses and doctors? Why have they allowed staff relations to get so low? Why do they depend too much on expensive Agency staff?



Terrible snow conditions on the A21 near Lamberhurst last night. Had to turn back and nearly didn’t make it out.

I’m willing to believe Meghan might not belittle our national institutions and customs deliberately. It may be subconscious bias, reflecting the prejudices and power structures of the wealthier and more potent imperial state in which she grew up. But I hope she educates herself.

Meghan says “I thought it was a joke” when she was told she would have to curtsy to Harry’s grandmother, the Queen on their first meeting. In her interview, Meghan performs a deep bow with her arms outstretched and says “Pleasure to meet you Your Majesty” and asked “was that ok?”
