It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺

“King and Queen will not meet Epstein survivors during US state visit.” Just the perpetrators… www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU. Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

NEW: Pope Leo XIV refused to back down after Donald Trump’s vicious attack today, saying, “I’m not afraid of the Trump Administration.” “I will continue to speak out loudly against war,” he said. “The message of the Church is the message of the Gospel: Blessed are the peacemakers.”

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

It must be a totally overwhelming result for Orban to concede on the night. Congratulations to the Hungarian people for choosing to believe that things can actually get better. And I hope Vance endorses more terrible leaders in the future. He seemed to push it over the edge.

Peter Magyar’s party has soundly defeated Viktor Orban in today’s election. Congrats to the Hungarian people for vanquishing a corrupt Putin puppet, and rejecting Trump, Vance and Rubio’s desperate and foolish attempt to tamper in your democracy.

Let's take a moment to remember this very relatable diary entry by Leo Tolstoy. #RetailTherapy

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🍿

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

This is hilarious because it implies that her husband DID call her while she was in space on the ISS to ask her help in looking for something. 💀🌌

What a game!! Well done Southampton. Terrific performance 👏👏👏👏 and the fans, ❤️❤️ Never mind Arsenal. Two more chances for silverware

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."

Keir Starmer urged to ban ‘cruel’ greyhound racing in England

Astronaut Ron Wiseman took this picture as they head to the moon with Artemis. All of us are on that right now....Think about that.....

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" ― Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut.

Holiday advice: It's pleasant to get a train to Europe. You just have to turn travelling into a core part of the holiday - lunch in Paris, dinner in Bordeaux, trip to Spain, week on beach etc. It's limiting, but very enjoyable & decent alternative to a flight you won't be able to afford by summer.

My favorite version of this Bridgerton dance trend. This dog is a natural!

Appalling

#enguru Dearie me. Just grim. VAR popping in and out as it fancies. 2 yellow cards and still on the pitch. 🤷‍♀️

Oh.

So in summary: all that nonsense talk about young people suddenly turning to Jesus was nonsense and church attendance remains in long-term, near-existential decline. Still, they got nearly a year of utterly baseless headlines out of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The world indoor athletics on tonight is wall to wall inspiration. 3 GB golds so far, building on one from yesterday. And the relay still to come. Restores your faith a wee bit.

Robert Mueller earned his place in history; Donald Trump just proved he belongs in a comment section. Character can’t be faked, and integrity can’t be bought. No matter how many buildings you put your name on. — Rest in peace to a true public servant.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Such sad news. A total inspiration. May she Rest In Peace ❤️❤️

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooke... What a guy!!

Hooray hooray hooray! Wales has banned greyhound racing and Scotland is set to do so next! www.bbc.com/news/article...

While we are absolutely committed to a new beauty regime, we reject the notion that punching ourselves in the face is part of the problem. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

This is a big deal. A lot of lives saved through this.

Attention BBC and Daily Mail newsdesks. It is being reliably reported that Reform UK MP Richard Tice dodged a £600,000 tax bill. Where's the media coverage?

We should be honoured to host, teach and learn from these people not exclude them. I'm ashamed of our government.

Re watching The Wire. In the presence of greatness. Love all the wonderful characters; good, bad and ugly. Barksdale, Stringer, Macnulty, Bunk, Keema, Rhonda, Bubbles etc. A masterpiece.

Right I’m tuning out of current horrors and stresses and will be mostly spending some quality time with Liza.

Even the reserve keeper of Tottenham Hotspur makes jokes about Kemi Badenoch's uselessness. #PMQs

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary.

#callthemidwife was beautiful tonight. Sensitive, kind and full of love. Will miss its comfort on winter Sunday nights. Especially Phyllis and Millicent. Love them!

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

How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far: 🤣 🖕 👌 👎

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.

A bit of blue sky and spring sunshine to gladden the heart Glorious! #lakedistrict

“The Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50. Some 49% of 18-24 year olds would back the Greens, as well as 27% of 25 to 49-year-olds - the top choice.”

When it’s all going to shit in the world, may as well take your dog and go somewhere nice for a few days. #greyhounds #lakedistrict

As boards of peace go, this one's got off to a poor start.

Just can’t believe that wanting to financially punish women who miscarry didn’t swing the vote for him. Stupid woke voters.

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped. Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

“In a battle between hope and hate, hope has won.” Congratulations to new MP Hannah Spencer! bylinetimes.com/2026/02/27/h...

I keep seeing this and I can’t really process it. FIFTY universities. Could close.

Swaggering moron, Tice, confirms again that Reform will scrap Labour’s improvements to workers’ rights. Know your place plebs. Reform is a party for rich, racist white men who want to remove your rights to protect their interests. Don’t be their useful idiot. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...
