I love that CBeebies have some electoral analysis for my toddler.

It's easy to forget that Sadiq Khan personally sets the drinks prices in every bar in London. Thank goodness Lucy is on the ball!

Pleased George is safely back. 😻

George the cat, nicknamed Metro cat, due to him laying on copies of the free newspaper at West Wickham station, was taken by a woman who stuffed George into her coat last Thursday. George has been found after entering someone's home via their cat flap. metro.co.uk/2026/02/25/b...

The UK’s Ministry of Defence is now looking into whether Epstein used RAF bases.

Born 26 Feb 1928, Fats Domino was a US singer-songwriter & pianist. One of the pioneers of rock & roll music, he sold more than 65 million records. His first single "The Fat Man" is cited by some historians as the first rock & roll single & the 1st to sell more than 1 million copies. #FatsDomino

Impressed by the leadership legacy of Baroness Boothroyd, OM PC, who died #OTD in 2023. A member of Parliament from 1973 to 2000, she became the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House of Commons in 1992 (serving until 2000). "Madam Speaker" knew how to command the room with grit & grace. #UK

The number of US nationals applying for British citizenship is soaring - up 42% during the first year of Trump’s second term. #TrumpFlight

The idea of someone reading Trump's mind is very funny. It would be like reading a colouring in book.

No, actually it was you who spent €50 on a small wrap of bicarbonate of soda from some little dickhead in a blue coat in the Temple Bar area of Dublin last night. Obviously I wouldn't do something that stupid.

In Ukraine trauma of Russia's war transformed balloons from toys into triggers.

New Statesman on Your Party's internal elections: "Turnout was 61.8 per cent, with 25,347 people casting a ballot." That implies a total membership of about 41,000. At YP conference just a few months ago the party boasted of having over 50,000 members. Suggests a big membership exodus since then.

A study shows that sperm swim more quickly in the summer - these Olympic athletes keep getting younger

Wow

Well this certainly seems pretty fucking pathetic.

It’s JUST over Norfolk. Tough titties to the rest of the planet.

Lots of us may know people who - when reaching the end of their lives - felt they wanted to end it first. Those are the people the Assisted Dying Bill is supposed to help and protect. And I've heard almost nobody make that point.

Just to be clear, it's now 8¾ years to save the west.

The best type of pie :)

OK, what have you done with Onslow?

I don’t think anybody will see this post because Bluesky is broken. But rest assured this is a problem the platform inherited from the Biden administration

Assisted Dying 'likely to fail' in the most benign political circumstances for years, and when parts of the British Isles are now adopting it. Sometimes we are a pathetic country. There is no dignity in dying.

I drew a cover for 'Olenka' by Budi Darma, translated by Tiffany Tsao. It's out in July but you can preorder it now. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760272/olenka-by-budi-darma-translated-with-an-introduction-and-notes-by-tiffany-tsao/

Poor old Peter. Can’t catch a break.

What a pane.

Oh that's good. He's ordered the taxi already. Long way back to London.

Hmmm. The young Proust spent a few years translating Ruskin, despite not being able to read English. His mother and a friend made word-for-word translations and he then turned it into beautiful French prose. MumGPT.

A rare photo of Chappies the Gum-Nose Terrier, who appeared out of nowhere one day last June, barked that I don’t use enough magenta, and ran off.

'If a Pakistani men is living in Bradford say, and cannot string a sentence together in English, he should go home.' A sentence one simply must get right.

Trivia question of the day: Guess how many UK politicians were eventually ordered to repay misclaimed expenses after the 2009 parliamentary scandal (No googling)

Art of the deal is one thing, art of delivery another.
