As @TransparencyUK 's Duncan Hames says “the public have right to know who was fast-tracked [to VIP Lane] and on whose say-so. "Five years of resisting disclosure has been a prolonged and unnecessary failure of transparency, and it has only deepened the damage to public trust"

The government spent five years trying to keep these names secret. We spent five years refusing to let it.
That’s what reader-funded journalism makes possible. We don’t give up on a story, and we’re not finished with this one

Democracy for Sale's @JennaCorderoy first asked for all names of VIP Lane firms and politicians who referred them in 2021
The government refused. It took years of appeals, a tribunal ruling and an intervention from Info Commissioner - but now we have them. So what's there?

You’re allowed to rest.
Sit under the quiet sky, let the world wait a little and just be. You’ll come back stronger when you’re ready.

"I dislike making conscious decisions. I prefer to wait until the matter decides itself or instincts prompt me. Just as the right key slips easily into the lock and turns smoothly and sweetly, so, without effort and forcing, should one know what to do." C.R.Milne #decisions

Every single year, autumn takes my breath away. I always write it off as the harbinger of the dark days of winter and forget just how perfect it is, with its gentle, unassuming beauty. Walking on this quiet path, all around me was the drip of mist from the leaves, a soft light that fell so slowly, and gold, gold, gold, everywhere I looked.

On a still morning, sitting by the froth of Burbage Brook as it tumbles through Padley Gorge, you can't help feeling that you've somehow fallen into a different world ... perhaps when you tripped over that tree root. Here, there's no haste or pressure, no noise but the constant rush and bubble of water and the occasional fall of a leaf. I find that I always stay long, long after I've taken the shot, losing track of time, just watching and listening and breathing it all in, so grateful for such places and the chance to fall into them.
This is the view that will be bringing autumn peace to your wall throughout November if you managed to snap up one of my 2026 Peak District Calendars. My 2027 Calendar is still available but I'm now running low on stock - so if you would like one for only £10.95 + UK P&P please see the link in the comments below or in my bio. Thank you.
