www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... Not the UK’s war. Trump started this it’s on the US to deal with the mess.

After months in the ground I’ve called it a day for the swedes. They clearly thought they were carrots!

Got sidetracked and overcooked the potatoes 😢

Unlucky enough to catch that warmonger Hegseth on the news. What’s all that waffly prayer thing at the end of his pentagon speech? Isn’t there a division between religion and state in the USA?

I really don’t understand why anyone would invest in crypto currency, the likely hood of being scammed is massive #Radio4 #MoneyBox asks “how can anyone stopped being scammed” simple answer - don’t buy crypto

With all the awful things going down in the world I’m so grateful to have a little plot to go to grow some veg and de-stress.

Make it stick.

Dubai’s influencers discover you can’t curate a war observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Water companies have a cheek, they fail miserably to perform their jobs, take our money and use it for dividends to foreign owners while neglecting our water systems - often poisoning us and in thankfully rare cases, causing death (allegedly). www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

This 👇👇👇

I have nothing but contempt for anyone who chooses to holiday or live in Dubai cos “Britain is broken”

Now we have the "patriots", Reform and the Labour Party protecting women and girls, here's 5 things us ladies can do now: 1. pick up male hitchhikers 2. say no 3. walk home at night 4. trust the police 5. continue with our tapestry making and pressing flowers x

Catching up with Monday’s #TheArchers Don’t like Zach much

Hard not to think that allegations of sharing government secrets is dealt with rather differently to allegations of crimes against girls. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

Little My, character in the Moomin books by Tove Jansson first appeared in 1950. She is small, determined, mischievous & fiercely independent, & based on the author herself in a kind of characteristic self-portrait #WomensArt

Jason and the Argonauts is the best film ever. Apart from Withnail and I.

So George is trying his hand at blackmail now? That won’t end well. And when Emma finds out who clocked him she’ll be apoplectic to levels previously unseen. #TheArchers

No sh1t, Sherlock 😅

This

I’m confused, did Stella propose while they were still at the vets? Thought they’d gone home but then Paul pops up like a little house elf from behind the sofa 🤷🏼‍♀️ #TheArchers

Catching up with #TheArchers Never been a George fan but now Esme’s giving him a chance Josh needs to stay in his lane. Her experience working with ex-cons gives the character some substance. 🤞crossed for G’s redemption. Unless of course he loses it with Josh’s sniping and ends up lamping him one.

Love that #TheArchers SW’s are channelling Spinal Tap’s Stonehenge set design cock-up in the Peggy land art storyline debacle 😂

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Wait, what? We’re expected to pay to watch this drivel? They should be paying us. #Melania #Trump

Hallelujah, Emma has had a personality transplant and is talking sense. I hope she stands her ground on this one and doesn’t flip flop into becoming George & Amber’s childcare fairy grandmother (if the pregnancy comes to fruition) #TheArchers

Friday night at home assembling heat attack lasagne after large margaritas and a cosmo, the recipes for which the SO spent Christmas perfecting…not sure I’m in any fit state to operate the oven. Fuck yeah! That’s two fingers to the fatigue but I’ll pay for it for a week but Fuck Yeah!

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Hilarious photograph - Trump perfectly posed as the the knuckle dragging numpty that he is 🤣🤣🤣

That was not a rampage #TheArchers

I don’t think George will self harm; more likely to violently lash out as he’s paved the way recently by attacking Ed twice #TheArchers

Really don’t have any time for George he has always bean a horrible bully and he still is. Don’t understand why Emma etc have always tolerated his sarky back chat and treated him like a little prince. They’ve created a violent misogynist with delusions of his own importance. #TheArchers

So not surprised about the David Walliams news just amazed it’s taken so long.

So a West Country Christmas Tractor Parade went past my house today! Most of them just had lights and tinsel. Joy’s expecting a lot from busy farmers if she wants complicated designs IMO. This is the tail end of it with Father Christmas on board 🎅 🚜 🎄 #TheArchers #TheArchersXmasBingo

@elizabennet.bsky.social we have a small victory, the @guardian.com has changed the photo for the Christmas lunch article. It’s now a family sitting down to a traditional Christmas dinner including Christmas crackers 🥂 🥳🎄🍽️ www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

Hey @theguardian.com picture editors, this is a photo of a Thanksgiving dinner not a Christmas dinner! Where are the roast potatoes?! There’s a pecan pie and and a pumpkin pie and only mashed potatoes shown so it’s definitely not a typical UK Christmas Dinner. Details matter!

My crazy black cat went missing 3 & 1/2 years ago and has just been found living rough about 2 miles away. A local animal sanctuary called me this pm. I’ve been through all the emotions since she went missing and am so grateful someone took the effort to spot a stray and get her rescued. #Caterday

Very sad to hear that Martin Parr has died. He was an absolute legend and a fantastic mentor to my partner.

'December' from Eliot Hodgkin's 'The Months', 1950. The first Christmas roses, seasonal greenery, a dainty indoor cyclamen, a shop-bought anemone, a clementine from Spain and two shy early violets, with their promise of spring.

An amazing, moving play written of course by a refugee welcomed to England. The irony of the words of one character was not lost on the audience where I watched #Leopoldstadt (hollow laughter at the state of Britain now). #TomStoppard

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... Genuinely heartwarming article celebrating 4 unsung heroes; number 5 is passable, not sure 6 deserves a mention!

My day in a nutshell

A. I can’t believe that no one is shouting at Ruairi for organising the holiday from hell. B. You sure about calling her Peggy, Phoebe? #TheArchers

There are absolute numpties dressed as medieval knights getting ready to protest outside a hotel housing refugees in Bristol today. Tossers.

The new Amber doesn’t have the vulnerable edge the original actor brought to it. The character now sounds much older and less compelling. The old Amber irritated like mad, this one is just 🤷🏼‍♀️ #TheArchers

I might be a bit feverish but I’m getting Mad Woman in The Attic vibes about Amber’s mum #TheArchers

I hear you Susan, bread making is so therapeutic. #TheArchers

4 years ago today I had surgery to remove most of a brain tumour. Still in rehabilitation and sometimes the days are hard going but I’m very grateful to be here.

The dialogue is cringy though

Watching Down Cemetery Road and Bristol is doing a good job of standing in for Oxford.

Time to get rid of the entire royal family. Don’t forget that Charles was good friends with Jimmy Saville 🤮

My partner has just got to the top of the waiting list for an #NHS #ADHD assessment. He was referred 7 years ago. Nearly missed the narrow deadline for responding as communication methods don’t take into account people with ADHD can be very disorganised 🤷🏼‍♀️
