Nestled in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, Miserden is a picturesque stone manor surrounded by beautifully maintained historic gardens that overlook the serene English countryside. The terraced lawns, clipped hedges, and bursts of seasonal flowers create a tranquil setting with sweeping scenic views across the wooded valley. The estate, part of a charming village setting, reflects the timeless architecture and pastoral charm that define the region. A peaceful retreat for walkers and garden enthusiasts, it perfectly embodies the allure of #Cotswolds #HistoricGardens #EnglishCountryside #StoneManor #ScenicViews.

"There are recurring themes, the most dominant of these is probably reining in the overuse of Parliamentary Urgency, including skipping or curtailing the Select Committees process.

Ideas to curb urgency include automatic expiry dates for laws passed without full process, governments needing to convince the Speaker that urgency is necessary, and select committees undertaking post-hoc reviews of laws that bypass them."

Former prime minister #JeanChrétien is warning that Donald #Trump is a #ThreatToDemocracy because the U.S. president "does not care much about the #RuleOfLaw," and that "could cause a lot of problems south of the border."

"#WesternSociety is built on the rule of law," Chrétien said in an interview with CBC’s #TheHouse. "When there is no more rule of law, it’s #blackmail on a daily basis, and it’s not working."
