Camilla really is a bitter little pill…. Andy Burnham’s hobbity utopia will spoil faster than Liz Truss lettuce www.thetimes.com/article/b068...

It’s obvious when you spot it. inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

It’s reassuring that these skips on wheels are illegal in the EU and UK…

Just a reminder to people saying they don’t care about critics because they are going to make their mind up for themselves: that’s exactly what critics want you to do.

Revisiting this book for the umpteenth time as I complete my own current project. Perhaps the best collections of essays on the early 20th century ever written.

*Spits coffee out…. 🤣 #BookSky

It was with heavy heart that I attended the Bessberro Commemoration yesterday. I was proud to be part of this fantastic traffic and parking team, helping families, survivors, friends, and visitors to park safely at the site.

🇷🇺⛽️❌Ohh… still no gasoline. Russians waiting in line at a gas station in Anapa, Krasnodar Krai.

The answer is a sledgehammer…

Leave it to foreign news outlets to take action and to keep us informed. Thank you, BBC. You ROCK!!!

And then there was just Felicity.

At the People’s History Museum, Burnham gives Labour people hope they might just have a future | John Crace

Even the Telegraph can’t hide the truth anymore. Once that happens you know that the game is up for Brexit. #BankOfEngland #inflation #economy #BrexitBrokeBritain #RejoinEU

Trump can read?!?

An email arrives concerning a UK retailers "viral sandwich". That frankly sounds dangerous.

Once again caused to wonder what the hell is going on next door?

Breda O'Brien doesn't know why women sometimes choose abortion. There are, of course, myriad reasons, but the fundamental one is the need for bodily autonomy. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

I love nature because it is so honest. It never deceives me. It never jokes. (Henry David Thoreau)

We ought to go further & force American tech to sell their UK / EU operations. We can no longer trust America or its politicians to deal with the UK / EU fairly.

So much to love about Pico waving the Irish flag, not least that he, a proud Irishman of African heritage and as Dublin as can be, embodies the kind of Irishness that the far right can't abide but is a thriving feature in communities across the island.

I have no regrets about studying History for four years but I heartily endorse Giles Coren's welcome of Andy Burnham as the first ever PM with a degree in English. (First Cambridge graduate since Stanley Baldwin...) www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

I’m beginning to believe he really doesn’t get it that he’s a laughingstock worldwide.

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

The irony of a Tesla being hit by a mass transit train covered in a pride flag during Pride month.

Oh look a proper grownup being sensible and straight with us. What a refreshing change… John Major interviewed by the Independent. He called on govt to be “honest” about the devastating damage of Brexit, saying we should join the Single Market in the next 5yrs. app.independent.co.uk/2026/06/26/3...

Trump: “You have to respect the president. If you don’t respect the president, you’re going to have a problem.” Funny, I don’t recall this clown calling for the same considerations for Obama and Biden.

Farage’s mask has slipped. He’s rattled and losing control Michael Crick: The Reform UK leader committed the cardinal PR error of giving away his weakness and sensitivity removepaywalls.com/https://inew...

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

I am not among the worried ...

And, please note: No one voted to leave the Single Market. Even swivel eyed loony Brexiteers said we wouldn't leave it. It's ironic that it was Thatcher's only decent legacy, and her cult trashed it.

On the 10th anniversary of Brexit, we now know: Cameron had no plan regarding the referendum Johnson, Gove, Farage, no plan Teresa May triggered article 50, no plan And people wonder why our economy is in the shit. The time has come where Labour start spelling this out and plan to join SM

From Moscow to Siberia, the lines in front of gas stations in Russia are growing. The gas station masquerading as a country is increasingly out of gas.

China sells an SUV for $28,000 That has A 10 year 621,471 mile warranty! It has a 1.5L turbo gas motor batteries and EV motor! AWD 600hp 700 miles on a tank 106 mpg In USA not available!

If it feels good, do it...

Wow, he’s talking about the President of the United States….

This Book Was So Prophetic. It Should Be The New Bible.

David has outdone himself here, I think. not sure how he'd ever top this as the most catastrophically stupid thing he's ever said

Factoid: Another nod to the SD1 & another hat tip to the Rover Vitesse, one of BL’s best ever cars. Reviews referred to its ‘4-door Aston’ character from Day 1 which was ironic given that Aston Martin declined BL’s efforts to use the ‘Rapide’ name for the car. (📸: CAR Magazine)

Europe has the best electric cars...

The US is so paranoid about Chinese tech, they've forced Polestar to withdraw from the US. Polestar is the best alternative to Tesla with high quality sedans, not to mention the excellent Android integration. What an absolute mess and self-own by the government. finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

Trumpism haș so much to answer for. I am becoming mildly allergic to American posts. Many are just too parochial and the food is usually quite beyond the sort of thing you would happily post as a European...

Amongst the myriad unattractive characters in #TheArchers, Helen holds a special place... (Even beside her brother, the walking, talking spreadsheet. Pat and Tony are dull creatures but how did they end up with kids like these?

This is shocking stuff supported by @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu’s @eppgroup.bsky.social, which includes @fine-gael.bsky.social! Shame on them! Migrants are human beings and should be treated with dignity; the EU needs migrants; if it didn’t support so many wars, the number migrating would be less.

@lizplank.bsky.social's realization while watching World Cup: "Every single one of these countries gives new moms some kind of leave after they have a baby... Literally all 48 teams come from countries that figured this out. Except the one hosting the whole thing. Us."
