These guys do a fantastic job at Ludlow Racecourse, sadly not for another year. Spread the word to see if anyone can throw a bit of business there way.

It's such a dreadful job market for graduates. My son has had rejection after rejection since graduating last year with a 2:1 in Geography, and he cannot get to the stage where he actually speaks to a person. It's heartbreaking.😢

Early NATO estimates suggest that Russia had 50,000 killed or seriously wounded in October. Almost as many in one mont as the US lost in Vietnam - says Mark Rutte @FutureAtlantic

BREAKING: House Republicans just successfully killed Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) impeachment resolution against Pete Hegseth (for now) by voting to refer it to the House Judiciary Committee in a 211-204 vote. The only Republican to vote with Democrats on this vote was Massie.

The victory of Democratic socialist Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race over incumbent Karen Bass has serious repercussions for @LA28, and means the local organising committee and its chair @caseywasserman will face more pressure than ever before in the runup to the @Olympics and @Paralympics. I discuss these issues in the latest edition of the #ZeusFiles at duncanmackayveritas.substack… @iocmedia @USOPC_News @TeamUSA @USOPC_CEO

Museum Amersfoort has cancelled a planned exhibition marking 300 years of the city’s synagogue, because of “the tensions surrounding the Middle East conflict.” Yes, you read that right. An exhibition about a *Dutch synagogue*, organized by *Dutch Jews*, was cancelled because of a war thousands of kilometres away. ad.nl/amersfoort/joodse-geme…

"Of course we all want the best for him"

Yesterday @EmilyThornberry revealed a Pakistani man who came to Islington to work as carer is "relieved" his family will all be allowed to stay forever. The family has now been joined by "a little boy with a rare genetic condition." She asked @ShabanaMahmood if the lad can have UK taxpayer funded benefits. Of course we all want the best for him but this begs so many questions. Is he their son? Did they just abandon him till now? How many other low paid carers are bringing relatives who are partly or wholly dependent on the state? It's completely unaffordable!
