Well played Greens, well played. Could imagine many in the Labour party cheering for their win right now, and it's potential to save the soul of the party.

Lost species to be released as Labour seeks to stave off Greensโ€™ election threat Push for good nature news before polls with reintroduction of white-tailed eagles, pine martens and beavers in England

Mind-blowing how bad #Labour is at politics, so no surprise that they think taking Green voters for fools is a sustainable strategy www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Surprisingly stressful yer #curling. Glad that's it for another four years. Not sure my liver could take it.

Not into football, travel a lot, easiest to say I'm from Manchester, once was. Always asked City or United? Neither, I answer.

My question back? Oasis or Stone Roses? Correct answer is always the latter because Oasis are bellends who made toxic masculinity a life goal. I'd vote Spencer. ๐Ÿ’š

The fate of the 2,787 people arrested for terrorism offences for peacefully holding signs saying โ€œI oppose genocide. I support Palestine Actionโ€ in silent vigils will be decided this Friday.

The long-awaited Judicial Review ruling will be read out at 10am in the Royal Courts of Justice.

I enjoy it when they fall upon their swords and, occasionally, the daggers of others but I cannot fucking abide the term "it's been the honour of my life".

Utter pish.

Yorkshire water situation: December 2025 summary

'Steep groundwater level increase at Wetwang'.

This incessant rain is tedious AF but for those of us old enough to remember August 2025 this degree of #Yorkshire reservoir and groundwater recharge should perhaps bring a hint of cheer.

Seems the jury disagreed with the police's allegations, the ones echoed by the Home Secretary to protect the UK MoD's relationship with Elbit Systems.

What a rotten abuse of the power of the state.
