I'm always proud of the work we do @WistonLodge but watching this from last year reminded me what great experiences we give our visiting groups. If you want a fun weekend or a day out with friends, get in touch.

It's an absolute car crash interview for Starmer. Martin Geisler left him without a name, exposing him as a totalitarian. Democracy dies with Labour.

Gove found guilty of non-declaration of free football tickets for him and his son. Says it was an oversight. But it happened three times so it was three oversights.
Try three 'oversights' with the DWP as a welfare recipient and see where it gets you.

Huge news! History is made as @scotgov passes the new Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill.
Scotland has now banned snares, licenced grouse moors and muirburn, and placed restrictions on wildlife traps.
A fantastic result and well done to all those involved!

⚡️ 66% of the public want energy in public ownership, but the Scottish Government thinks they know better.
It’s time to change that.

An alert for Scotland and reminder that the Land Reform Bill as scheduled seems to be keen to fill the pockets of big landowners.
Fascinating programme today on how Vietnam or President Nixon's re-election campaign affected the diet and health of America.
