Lincolnshire Council is spending £8k a year to transport a schoolgirl to a state school after Labour’s 20% tax on private school fees forced her out. Mother Sarah Lambert calls out the government for failing to consider the real impact of their policies.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. – at Annesley, England

Remembering Margaret Thatcher, who was born #onthisday in 1925. Her portrait was commissioned from me in 2009 by the then PM Gordon Brown, to hang permanently in 10 Downing Street.

It was a Special Pencil Case. There were pencils marked “B” for Bear, and “HB” for Helping Bear. There was a ruler for ruling lines for the words to walk on, and Blue Pencils and Red Pencils and Green Pencils for saying things in blue and red and green. ~A.A.Milne

Eeyore turned round angrily on the others and said, “Everybody crowds round so in this Forest. There’s no Space. I never saw a more Spreading lot of animals in my life, and all in the wrong places. Can’t you SEE that Christopher Robin wants to be alone?” ~A.A.Milne #SaturdayVibes

Pooh opened his eyes with a jerk and said, “Extremely.”
“Extremely what?” asked Rabbit.
“What you were saying,” said Pooh. “Undoubtedly.”
Piglet gave Pooh a nudge, and Pooh, who felt that he was somewhere else, got up slowly and began to look for himself. ~A.A.Milne #NoddingOff

Today we are remembering Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on what would have been her 97th birthday. Thank you for all that you have taught us, for being a steadfast leader and dear friend. You are sorely missed.

The path through the heather to Top Withens.
On July 30th, Emily Brontë's and Kate Bush's shared birthday, it seems appropriate to post a Wuthering Heights related pic.

Labour justifies closing a person’s bank account and leaking to the media, because they don’t like the person.
It’s just like their vilification of former Labour voters who voted for Brexit.
Labour doesn’t respect you, and won’t protect you if you disagree with them.

Two useless stats to end a soggy day.
Today's washout was the 1st XI's first no result in 32 games since an unfinished home game v Fakenham on Aug 21, 2021.
It was the first game to fail to start since a washout at Ingham against Norwich on May 8, 2021, 46 games ago.
STAT.

Happy Independence Day folks! Remember Brexit has already helped deliver all kinds of benefits - from new free trade deals to the fastest vaccine roll out in Europe. We are doing things differently - from genomic editing to regulation of financial services. 🧵1/3

On this VE Day, we think of all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, 1939-45, for freedom and the fight against tyranny.

Today, on what would have been her 97th birthday, we remember Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Over the course of her reign, Queen Elizabeth II remained an emblem of stability, tradition, and selfless duty, demonstrating an unrelenting dedication to public service.

#GaryLineker says open our borders and let them all in. To go where exactly? No housing, schools, doctors, wrecking tourism industry by taking over 500 hotels. Disease? Terrorism? Crime? Rape? All costing billions. Blokes a lunatic.
