The English bluebell has known many names over the years, including ‘cuckoo’s boots’, ‘Lady’s nightcap’, and possibly our favourite, ‘witches’ thimbles’.

Sir Kenny Dalglish. Totally deserved for his football work, his charity work and for holding a grieving community together in its darkest hour and for calling the Establishment, media and authorities to account over Hillsborough #lfc #SirKennyDalglish

I’m so sad about Amber’s departure from government - she was a huge asset - brave, principled, thoughtful, humane, considerate and always thinking of the impact of policy on the vulnerable - I hope Amber will be back soon - we need her

In today’s materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around.
