Priti Patel, Michael Gove, Gavin Williamson, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson and Robert Jenrick have something in common. They all were found to have breached the ministerial code but didn’t resign. So if any Tory has anything to say about Angela Rayner’s resignation remind them of it.

Radio 4 doesn't seem to be reporting Nigel Farage's US congressional committee appearance. Which is odd, considering they can't usually get enough of him.

If only Angela Rayner had followed the Telegraph’s advice. Then they might not call her a hypocrite.

“I made my appearance at 8 o’clock on the morning of August 21st in the year 1920. Pooh was only a year younger (given as a 1st birthday present) and my inseparable companion. As you find us in the poem ‘Us Two’, so we were in real life.” ~C.R.Milne #HappyBirthdayChristopherRobin

The British pediatrician D. W. Winnicott once wrote, “There’s no such thing as a baby. There is a baby and someone.”
I’ve always loved the quote, because it so simply encapsulates our situation as the newest members of the human species: We enter the world with fine tuned powers of observation, ready to learn and engage.
But without at least one significant adult (and hopefully many more) ready to dedicate to our need for connection, it is impossible for our development to optimize.
Or as Urie Bronfenbrenner explained:
“Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.”
You won’t run across any better example than this gorgeous video shared to IG by amyjoannswart.
It’s hard to tell who’s more crazy about the other. And that makes for a lucky little one, indeed.

Sometimes I wonder where my dead son Eddie is. I've written a book called 'Where Are You Eddie?'. It's a picture book for children illustrated by Gill Smith. Yesterday I read it to some people in Liverpool, and Gill was there. I hope it helps people think about this stuff.

Five years, ago this tweet👇broke the #CareHome scandal
The govt had INSTRUCTED hospitals to send people “who may have COVID19” to care homes WITHOUT TESTING
They KNEW about asymptomatic transmission in early 2020
@PaulBrandITV reported on the story on @itvnews two weeks later
The smoking gun of govt care home policy?
Govt advice from 2 April.
“Some of these patients may have #COVOD19. All can be cared for in care homes.”
“Negative tests are not required before transfer/admission to the care home.” #coronavirus via @Goldbug40 gov.uk/government/publicatio…
