It’s been a while since I was here but I’ve got a new laying queen following a split, which is always a cause for a small celebration. She’s on this frame. Can you spot her?

#RecipeOfTheDay is Hot Cross Buns! Admittedly, they’re rather ramshackle Hot Cross Buns – but I really think homemade ones, however inelegant, taste so much lovelier than impeccably shaped shop-bought www.nigella.com/recipes/hot-...

💥 Well how about that. After years of Brexiteers saying we had to leave the EU to avoid being forced into a European army… … it turns out that Brits are fine with the idea. With the UK explicitly included. A plurality of Tory voters support it - and even a fair chunk of Reform. How times change…

You can be sure that if he’d paid anything approaching a reasonable amount, he would have disclosed it and all UK news outlets would have surrounded it in great fanfare. The fact that he has kept quiet speaks volumes

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will tomorrow permanently disconnect from Russia’s power grid. Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail. This is a victory for freedom and European unity.

Many moons ago, I volunteered with Kid’s Company. It is such a shame their good work was brought to an end by scurrilous false accusations.

30y gilt yields the lowest, or least high, since January 3. Not sure if I missed the headlines saying a chunk of fiscal credibility had been restored?

Yes I wonder if the guy who's spent the last three months supporting far-right groups was doing a fascist salute it seems so unlike him.

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

If you're disturbed by what's happening in the USA right now, and in particular, how it's being reported so blandly and unquestioningly here in the UK, this is essential listening. @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social on point, again. open.spotify.com/episode/0edO...

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Anyone else think it’s ridiculous that the Bidens are hanging around to have tea with Trump when 4 years ago he buggered off to Florida rather than be gracious. Trump clearly doesn’t care about protocol so why entertain him because protocol requires it.
