Which candidates oppose the inordinate power of the ultra-rich, and which ones accept or encourage it?

We celebrated today our 14th anniversary of moving to the UK as a family! We did it in the most British way we could find: an afternoon tea 😋 🇬🇧 (Ok, and champagne too…)

I had an interesting evening yesterday, advocating for more 20mph zones at the Earley Town Council. I think it was useful. Thank you @20splenty.bsky.social for the very useful material!

🚲 There’s a new crowdfunder to support Kidical Mass rides across the UK, and it’s one of those small things that quietly makes a big difference.

Okay folks, I'll give you the ultimate cheat sheet to French food. Everywhere you go you'll be proposed something sounding like "des croubitchoux à la gableuse with a little glass of bounette". Every village has its own very local specialty. How to decipher that ? Very easy.
