If an MP and leader of a political party has indeed been 'hacked by Moscow', this is a serious concern for the country, and and the only logical move for a true patriot is let MI5 check all their communications for Russian influence/espionage. Can't be too careful when it comes to protecting the UK

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Can we stop calling them border checks or border queues and instead call them brexit queues or farage queues so we can be clear why they are happening

But, doctors do know the joy of thinking they were on duty for some or all of the weekend and finding they've misread the rota and in fact they're off... (Related to the lesser joy of turning up to a clinic that has been inexplicably cancelled...)

I was 17 and halfway through my A levels. I can't tell you how many times I listened to this. I pored over "Mercy Street" and "We do what we're told"... I hope 17 year olds do the same today with the stuff they love. I wish I could tell them it's going to be OK, and be believed.

My new post looks at the latest in the Ebola outbreak We didn't need another VHF outbreak right now - and this one is much worse - Why is Ebola both interesting and terrifying? - What makes this outbreak different? - What does the future likely hold?

I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

It is a horrible thing to say but when I see this I assume that they're going to end up using their pet as a (not very good) airbag substitute.

The one who stays is the HERO.. .

All cars should be no bigger than Smart cars and have a max speed of 25mph. I don't propose this out of environmental or safety concerns, I just think it would be funny and upset a lot of people I don't like.

I suspect something along the recent lines of: Labour voters switch to Reform = 'We hear you and dear God do we share your concerns' Labour voters switch to Green = 'You are being very silly and should just GROW UP'

Voted. The surnames of the two Reform candidates local to me are precisely the sorts of surname that will be used to determine who goes into their Farage camps.

We should have a government policy of 80% of journeys being by foot, bike, or public transport within 5 years. And 100% of buses, cars, lorries, trains, and vans being electric within 10 years. Everyone will be happier apart from the oil companies.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

I can't work out why people modify their cars to make them sound knackered. I've driven enough shit heaps that backfired and needed a new exhaust. It definitely wasn't cool then, and remains that way.

I know it is perhaps niche of me, but I'm baffled how you can present an article like this without a map...

I don't understand why this isn't being reported as "Airlines ordinarily have a perverse incentive to fly half empty planes." BBC News - UK airlines to be allowed to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

This is it, this is what we need: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Last Zipper Day someone shared this exchange… I was on the train when a lady leaned over and said, “Excuse me, you’ve left your garage door open.” Embarrassed I zipped up and said, “I hope you didn’t see my Rolls Royce parked in there.” “No,” she said, “just an old Mini-Minor with two flat tyres”

So disappointing to see the lack of political will now in Birmingham for safer streets. After questions from Babiker Yahia, whose 4-year-old daughter Mayar was killed by a driver in April 2024, only one candidate (after quite a pause) backed 20mph limits on all residential streets.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Good morning Reece. Here is a timely reminder for all -

In my experience, very clever people have one characteristic in common - they don't think they're very clever. Donald Trump calling people low IQ or praising his own genius is a sure sign he's as thick as pig shit.

I grew up in Southend and am now really hoping that one my ancestors is in this picture...

Extrapolate this just a wee bit and it's good advice for life. Put away your shopping cart. Pick up your trash. Use headphones in a public space. In other words, think about your impact on others.

Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position

The pursuit of money, where you're chasing more despite having enough to last several lifetimes, should be categorised as a mental illness.

OMG... I feel like that could be it... he’s such a f****** dimwit

Trump loves things being named after him. Maybe one of the diseases his administration has relaunched?

I have just learned of "Occam's Kazoo" heuristic to understand the actions of Trump; basically the most likely explanation of his actions is the stupidest. (Original RT didn't have alt-text)

You know, I'm beginning to suspect that he's not a master negotiator, and, indeed, neither is he a master at the Art of the Deal.

With the price of fuel going up by the week, change lanes to avoid the impact. Bus tickets are capped at £20 a week. Walking and cycling short trips is free. Fewer short car trips also means less congestion, more reliable public transport, safer and better roads, cleaner air, and healthier people.

It seems wrong to sanewash what he actually said like this. (I'm obliquely reminded of how abused folk recurrently minimise what has happened to them.)

With three new rail stations on the Camp Hill line and two tram stops on the Eastside extension open in the last few days, we're taking the opportunity to ask for more stops please!

Jaywalking is just crossing the road in the UK and it should stay that way. The self-driving car companies may fuck off with that one

If you buy a high end bike off someone as a "steal" then there is a good chance it is a literal steal...

I'm going to hazard that she's still not far enough away to avoid one of the earthbound 4 billion or so blokes mansplaining something to her.

This obsession for American pickup trucks on UK roads is insane. Dave, you live on a fucking estate in Doncaster not on the prairies of Montana. Tax the bastards to oblivion

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

That’s one hell of a cover…..

I'm really not rating this Dalek Reboot - and their new catchphrase is rubbish.
