I wonder why Labour have not made more noise about their delivery, since day one?

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

A brilliant bit of writing. Serious and credible!

I gather that the German car industry will step in to fix any problems with the EU if we were to leave the ECHR.

Lordy, this by @iandunt.bsky.social is amazing. I wish I had this clarity of thought and articulation. Word economy too. If, like me, your attention is short and you rarely read linked articles, I implore you to read this one, please! iandunt.substack.com/p/id-cards-a...

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The ability to constantly challenge who you are, we know, will be abused. Especially if you look, sound or act differently from average. The potential of a Reform Gov with that power from day one is scary.

If you like dramatic landscape photography, Sophie is worth a follow!

Strong Rees-Mogg vibes here, who suggested the Grenfell victims should have had more common sense. Empathy bypass. I detest these people!

Well:

Glimmer of good news?

Tip tip for customer service organisations: Make sure your call queues are as annoying as possible by making the hold music as loud and distorted as possible. Ensure there are regular fades to very quiet audio, ideally speech announcements, to cause many false alarm and prevent the customer 1/2

To everyone at @ledbydonkeys.org just a message of love to say well done for the work in Windsor last night. Remember to say nothing without legal advice. I hope the CPS don't prosecute this public interest event. If they do, I for one am willing to contribute more towards legal funds.

This made me chuckle. Or is lol the modern parlance?

Do you recognise any of these people? Wanted by the Met after the violence on Saturday news.met.police.uk/news/appeal-...

A major roundabout near us has about 8 Union flags hanging from lampost. *Every* single one is hung upside down! It they don't know which way up to fly it and hanging them randomly, the chances of getting it wrong 8 times is 0.4% 1/2

Well my first sourdough loaf was a bit mediocre. Happy with texture and taste, but it's very flat! The overnight rise was very good - more than doubled in size. Followed Paul Hollywood method to the letter. Any suggestions?

You'd think an impressive installation like this would be a great thing to unite the country. Yet many replies I've seen on various posts are full of right wing vitriol thinking that left wing and other right-minded people would be offended or "owned"! County's gawn maaad!

The perfect appointment!

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is staggering. To put it into context 1200GW is 40 times the UK's current peak electricity demand. Note it is "only" installed capacity, so it won't operate at that level all the time. But still truly impressive. We need to catch up, or risk becoming a dinosaur country reliant on fossils

Superb superb diagnostic of Brexitism from @chrisgrey.bsky.social which explains the trouble the UK is having moving forward. The psychology is interesting. This is the triumph of id. It the politics of feeling over fact. 1

Genuine question. Middle England BBQ meets horrific prejuduce Normally fairly balanced neighbour expressed opinion to puncture migrant boats (and by insinuation drown them, because at the same time he's wondering why "the french" let them leave France) I froze. Can't make a scene. What to do?

Absolutely brilliant writing!

Cooking BS recommendation. Ingredients: - Oven tray with 1tbsp olive oil - A ton of home grown tomatoes, chopped if big - A good amount of garlic cloves, crushed, unpeeled - Some new potatoes sliced 1-2cm - Loads of oregano or basil or whatever, chopped - Sea bass fillets 1/2

Hugh Bonneville started his live ITV London News interview on Downton Abbey by talking about Gaza.

Pleasantly surprised by the lack of St George flags on a 4 mile walk in our area. One out of 5 meat bridges had a small one, a few scruffy ones on the allotments and a couple of sign posts. One proudly flying on a proper flagpole at a memorial which felt sort of "right" for me. 1/2

A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is. The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.

Perfectly articulates my unorganised thoughts and concerns:

@sangitamyska.bsky.social Second skeet I've seen from you in recent weeks. Good to see you back Sangita. We may not be allowed to know how Global treated you, but we support you!

Rugby. MALA Make America Lose Again! 😁

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent. Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

I wasn't sure whether or not to sign this petition, but Naomi made some good points on her LBC interview. It's not just sour grapes against a nazi, it's also a national threat to the stability of our electricity market, maybe even the supply itself. We'd be nuts to let him enter our energy market.

Previously I had respect for Antonia. This is awful. I wouldn't have expected her to spew this sort of hateful ultra-right mistruth.

ITV News. Has there been a change at the top? The last couple of days the story selection seems weird, and strange BBC/Reform way of talking about refugees. Different anchor too, although I have nothing against Paul Brand. But general news curation in last few days is problematic, imo.

Today's offering to the bread god! (Not really, I'll eat it all)

Awful

As I continue my quest to "de-americanise" my life, I may have come across a chink in my armour. The gardens at The American Museum in Bath are fabulous!

Well done BfB

A real anti-immigrant hate-fest underway on @benkentish.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk this morning. No balance. Just an in-built assumption, unchallenged that immigration is "bad".

Fascinating! I foresee that battery storage will strongly increase (which combined with strong battery price decreases means ~100x more batteries in the coming 10 years) and this will support solar+wind and reduce grid investments. www.iea.org/reports/worl...
