Sculptor Antony Gormley calls Norfolk solar farm 'cruel' The development would cover the equivalent of 1,500 football pitches in the countryside.

Solar panels have rights too, y'know.

Oh yes.

Irony. Us British, we're good at it 😉

The letters inviting them probably haven't arrived yet.

Eggs and money stolen from North Yorkshire boy's roadside stall Sam, six, collects eggs each day to leave at the roadside, but his honesty box was stolen last week.

This, my friends, is why we are not allowed nice things.

Mason's disappointment is palpable.

My kitchen was ruined by a Ribena bottle exploding - it cost me £20,000 Carolyn Jensen woke up in the middle of the night to discover a bottle of Ribena had mysteriously exploded leaving her kitchen looking like the scene of a bloodbath

But my lime plastering, Scandinavian woven chairs and [checks notes] speciality scraped and polished concrete floor.

I think some water may have seeped into his bonce when he was windsurfing during the last General Election campaign.

I vote for these ones.

It’s wonderful to have a PM that’s right a lot of the time. And when he’s wrong he apologises.

That should be the minimum of what we expect. But we lost the benchmarks over the last 15 years.

Keir Starmer now is the benchmark. And no one matches up do they?

& the winner of America & Israel’s Iran conflict is.. China.

The coveted job of PM is huge it includes global/national considerations affecting 69m citizens, their welfare, safety and finances.

When auditioning for that role future hopeful Leaders need to demonstrate they can do the job.

Why do ours just demonstrate perpetual outrage/culture wars?

Trump's likely declaration of victory in Iran is a reminder of the episode of #Seinfeld when Jerry ditched his girlfriend but she decided not to accept it.
Trump may claim a win but what happens if Iran refuses to believe they lost and carry on the war?

It’s cloud cuckoo land to think a PM won’t mess up from time to time.

It’s how they deal with the mess up that shows you who they are.

Starmer was ruthlessly efficient in handling the Mandleson situation.

There are bigger things to worry about right now.

Utter madness. Whatever next?

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

It was not enough for Elon Musk's minions to gut the Social Security Agency.

An ex-DOGE engineer allegedly took SSA's master databases of personal information to a job in the private sector.

DOGE was never about fighting fraud. It was about exposing Americans to more of it.

Thank you.

Having only logical positivism to fall back on, Elspeth was at a loss for words.

We have no idea what the situation will be in September. However, a higher price brings in more VAT, which could replace any revenue list by delaying the duty increase.

They should put a monkey on the £50 note and a pony on the £10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.

You don't think it's appalling that people are allowed to wander about without an album of national heroes about their person?

On a day when we should be concerned with what’s happening in Iran what are they worrying about? Whether a badger should replace Churchill on the back of a bank note. And as I don’t use cash anymore I couldn’t even tell you which denomination. 🤣🤣🤣

Although Keith on the Pottery Throwdown is sometimes less discriminating.

Zack Polanski stood by breast enlargment hypnosis claim A newly unearthed interview from 2013 casts doubt on the Green Party leader's claim to have apologised.

"Now, Zack is focussed on the issues that really matter to people: bringing down bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services."

Translation: "Zack really wishes you wouldn't keep bringing up his past".

My neighbour asked me to mow his lawn when he was ill and I was 12. I wondered why his mower looked and worked different to ours but didn't mind. I'd almost done a full stripe down the lawn when he yelled at me to stop. It was a rotavator, not a mower.
