“While Nige has been brown-nosing Trump with his warmongering, he’s missed that most of the country doesn’t want to follow the orange narcissist into an illegal war with no fixed objectives other than continue till The Donald gets bored”

Farage and Badenoch are lying through their teeth. Why aren’t the media holding them to account?

Weird, my grandad was sunk 3 times in the Battle of the Atlantic and never used the word, "fun", to describe his experience. Perhaps he was doing it wrong.
🤔 In case you didn't know - here's a bit more about me and my work, my values, my hopes and fears as a creative in today's world: www.digest.andymarsh... - please share if you can. Thank you. ☺️
Too many people in power have not learned enough history to know that things are fine until they aren’t.
And when they aren’t, things move very quickly.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into his reckless war - even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
Looking’ good! Love the specs!
Peter Brookes.. today’s cartoon The Times
Privatization picking our pockets.
Another Royal Mail price hike: Form 7 April 2026 1st class postage price £1.80, 2nd class 91p.
When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.
RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets. Fines passed to customers. Execs get bonuses.
For anyone who would like the clip (including George).
I have questions
Some people see “those who forget history are bound to repeat it” as an opportunity.
There is hope for a future where we can work together for a common good. We will not agree on everything, but we can respect one another and compromise to progress.
This worked yesterday and must be the future for democracy everywhere.

‘Given the reports we are reading in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle about people using cavalry and crossbows, not to mention the bloody great arrow stuck in my eye, we are concerned about the extent to which the Battle of Hastings was a free and fair engagement.’
Harold Goodwinson: a statement.
‘We are losing our country. A coalition of feudalists and woke Frenchmen came together to dominate the battlefield. I don’t think they beat us, I think the archers were told to shoot arrows in my face.’
Excellent news.
Worcester Cathedral has launched its Peregrine Falcon livestream on YouTube earlier than usual, as the resident pair begin showing promising signs of nesting.

Surely, even in these febrile times, not leaving a legacy of our rivers as a literal *hit show should be something we can all agree on. Dirty Business has landed and it couldn’t be more damning. Congratulations to Channel 4. Let’s make some noise @riveractionuk.bsky.social
Map showing potential fracking zones in the UK
If elected, Reform has pledged to open up fracking in the UK. The map below shows areas thought to have potential for fracking. Reform says fracking will lower energy prices. The London School of Economics disagrees:

I loved the Hannay novels when I was younger and I just loved the name Sandy Arbuthnot. He speaks countless languages so must have spent time in various libraries!
Sandy Arbuthnot, Greenmantle. Would love that!
Are you angry watching #DirtyBusiness on Channel 4?
You should know what Thames Water is doing RIGHT NOW
Its creditors want permission to pollute illegally until 2040 ⁉️
24 Thames Water MPs have written to tell the Minister and @ofwat.bsky.social to say NO 👇👇👇

Libraries should be for everyone. That's why our Library of Sanctuary scheme is totally free. We do this work on a shoestring so no library ever has to think twice about joining...

“Children never start wars, yet they suffer the most from them.”
This was highlighted outside the U.S. Congress during Ukrainian Week in Washington by Yaroslav Oleksiv, the father of 11-year-old Roman, who survived a rocket strike on a clinic in Vinnytsia in the summer of 2022.
#lufc fans - anyone good with stats and can tell me how many/ percentage of goals we’ve conceded this year within 15 minutes of the final whistle?
Morning Ted, good to see you’re well wrapped up!
Absolutely insane story about a middle-aged woman from Hertfordshire who got arrested, shackled, and detained by ICE and held in a prison for eight weeks.... while on holiday... with a valid tourist visa... as she tried to leave the country.
At this stage, Avian Flu hasn’t been ruled out. If you see a dead seabird, please don’t touch it or move it. ⚠️
Report it to Defra (or Daera in NI) and log it on BirdTrack via the BTO website.

Every report helps build a picture.
A dead Puffin lies on wet sand, its black and white feathers darkened and slick against the beach. The bird rests on its side, wings folded, with its distinctive orange bill clearly visible against the pale sand.
Heartbreaking: Right now, thousands of Puffins are washing up along our coasts and further afield.
It is devastating to see.
These birds are Red-listed in the UK and already under serious pressure.
Mass deaths like this, known as a “seabird wreck”, can take years for colonies to recover from...
