Lovely sunny day in Brum yesterday

Starmer at that press conference, giving every impression of a nervous chipmunk sitting next to an alligator that's just swallowed a hand grenade.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

10pm and it's still warm and not dark. The flowers look amazing in the twilight 🌸

Beautiful ❤️

Wildflower strips in orchards attract insects that eat pests, reducing crop damage and cutting pesticide use. The savings can be significant, especially in bad aphid years. 🌸

I can't believe that that this is a genuine post and the White House tweeted it. How crass and insensitive!

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... Gloriously bonkers. Sometimes you just need a bit of light relief 😀

PINNED POST (pls share to spread our pain) ✍️ Hey we're Alex & Sian and we've accidentally spent a decade drawing 20,000 footballers quite badly. If you want to see a certain player, just ask 🛒 SHOP: noscoredraws.com - where you can get prints & mugs & stuff. 100+ teams to choose from!

Unthinkable just 10 years ago: Almost 3/4 of the EU’s electricity in 2024 was from renewable energy sources and nuclear. Gas and coal electricity generation is at record low levels.

🧵 Birmingham City have WON League One so what better way for us to ruin a Bank Holiday than by spending the day drawing them. Questionably. This is Christoph Klarer. It'll be downhill from this point. Shares appreciated! Tell a Blues fan if you know one. Test your friendships! x

Pete’s in full bank holiday mode

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen has noted “a positive side effect” of the tariff uncertainty created by United States President Donald Trump: More world leaders want to do trade deals with the EU.

Early evening 🌸🌈

It’s National Pet Day today apparently so here’s a poem about one of my cat’s poems. It’s called ‘On ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’

“British politics is shackled to a corpse. Undoing those chains would leave everyone better off. A closer relationship with Europe is the quickest and easiest way… to generate growth” V good on our “zombie politics” and its deadening impact. @duncanrobinson.bsky.social economist.com/britain/2025...

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

FREAKOUT AT THE MUD PALACE Dennis retreated to his house in Taos, 'the mud palace' where he got lost editing The Last Movie. The distributors pulled out. The film flopped. He blamed the movie business. All quotes paraphrased from stuff Dennis really said. #HopperListeningParty

Trevor Philips, "Is the 10% tariff on the UK a benefit of Brexit?" Caroline Lucas, "Leaving the EU costs us 5% of GDP" "Trump's 10% tariff has an impact of 0.3%" "And this special relationship with the US is no better than an island with a whole load of penguins on it"

Highly recommend having a look at @gailmyerscough.bsky.social's wonderful designs 😍

no idea who made this but it’s genius

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

I’m so excited to be a part of @tim-burgess.bsky.social Merch Market. It’s going to be a fantastic event with bands selling their merch, live sets, DJs and much more. I’ll be selling my wares and a print I’m creating exclusively for the event. tinyurl.com/mr6fyxr8

Protests hit Tesla dealerships across the world in challenge to Elon Musk

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

We want to hear from female artists / girl bands - lots of fellas applying (which is not necessarily a bad thing) It’s going to be amazing - girls, shout up. Nudge / tag any female artists helpushelpbands.com

Goodness me, that was a mad few minutes in extra time but so good to see Wales equalise 😍
