@nationalhighways.bsky.social For the love of God put some signs in A4421 from Bicester to Finmere telling people to go a different way, til the HS2 works are done. Did about half a mile in 40 mins then had to turn round and go back!!!

Loving Rachel Burden’s style on brekkie TV - gorgeous colours!

‘Let’s put tariffs on Teslas’ – Lib Dem leader Ed Davey www.channel4.com/news/lets-pu...

Let’s see what f*ckwittery the orange dictator is about to unleash…

Solar & wind currently supplying 2/3rds of the UK’s electricity ⚡️ (1300-1330hrs Wed 2/4/25) electricinsights.co.uk#/homepage

I absolutely love the growing romance between Freddie Jones & Lizzy Vereker in Rivals. Most of the others are bonking just because they can but these two were meant to be together ❤️

Really don’t want to be in the office today, very tempting to book a random day off just to get this out of my system.

BREAKING: Inflation in the UK fell from 3% to 2.8% in February - figures from the Office for National Statistics show

Hybrid workers ‘take fewer sick days’ than those in the office Working from home survey found a third of hybrid workers were not off ill as often and 68 per cent suffered fewer stress-related physical symptoms www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

Hegseth: Hold my (several) beers

New #TedLasso season announced 😍 What do you think of our A.F.C. Brickmond minifigure set?

What a 💩 world: hateful mysogenist has content hosted by major streaming platform, conspiracy theorists denouncing last nights astronaut repatriation to be duplicitous, ‘leader of the free world’ and dictator’s puppet claims credit for something that was already planned.

“The government has announced the most devastating cuts to disability benefits on record. These plans should shame the government to its core” says SCOPE

This is absolutely shocking. Surely instead of cutting benefits for disabled people, the moral thing to do would be to introduce a wealth tax on the very wealthiest people in our society? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Bloody hell. The mags are going to be unbearable. Ant & Dec and She-Ra are going to be even more unbearable than usual.

Oh well…so much for THAT theory 🫤

Isidor dropped back to the bench but Mundle & Mayenda both starting…please let this work, M&M on together in theory should be lethal!

Well blimey. Banned from the Memories of Murton Facebook group because someone DM’d me demanding to know why I was a member (because she doesn’t know me & none of her mates do…WTF?!) and I had to temerity to complain.

Nice work in Tottenham

"What on earth is going on?" @mrjamesob.bsky.social was so surprised by Donald Trump's turn as a Tesla salesman, he wrongly assumed some of the photos were faked.

"Donald Trump is literally running a Tesla ad in front of the White House to help Elon’s failing stock” www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-te...

SAFC 1-1 PNE 80 mins of dross then 10+9 of the ref letting PNE get away with murder, interrupted by a moment of Mundle genius. Cirkin & Mepham did well not to lose their rag - that ref well & truly lost control, lucky not to get a bench clearance! 🤣

🚨NHS dental charges to rise by 2.3% from 1 April 2025. These are stealth cuts, that won't put an extra penny into a service on the brink. Send a message to Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting. 👉 https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/scrap-the-nhs-dentistry-price-hike

So explain to me how the proactive decision not to buy something is “illegal”, Donald?

Started the day growling. Stupid kids using estate roads as their pathway, someone rearranging my careful meeting plans because they think they know best & someone who needs & got a job posting endless memes about being tired & what a bind work is!!!

‘Making us a joke': Elon Musk slammed on his app after insulting Poland foreign minister www.rawstory.com/musk-poland-...

Worth 20 mins of anyone’s time - the PR view on the Zelensky/Trump/Vance clash, ‘planted’ reporters & the role of King Charles in the whole thing. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Location-spotting with ‘Inspector George Gently’: main character drives along the coast road to Seaham…minutes afterwards arriving in Seaton Carew.

Wind & solar currently providing almost half the UK’s electricity right now. Stand up all those who are anti-renewables? And the orange felon who tells us to ‘get rid of the windmills’!

A video is circulating online with claims it shows President Zelenskyy uttering an expletive when asked about President Donald Trump’s latest comments on Ukraine. But the clip has been edited to mislead, and the Ukrainian leader says nothing of the sort.

Still making up 💩 Apparently the EU was formulated specifically to take advantage of the US.

Following Elon Musk's open support for the AfD, Tesla sales in Germany were down 76% in February, compared with a year earlier Mirrors steep decline for sales in other European markets. 🇩🇰⬇️48% 🇳🇴⬇️49% 🇸🇪⬇️42% 🇫🇷⬇️26% www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/b...

The main farm products the US imports from Canada are rapeseed, colza & mustard oil & bovine (cattle) meat, & from Mexico, dates, avocados, mangoes, tomatoes, & other fresh fruits & vegetables. Learn more about US, Canada, & Mexico trade relations: www.piie.com/microsites/2...

'Free Speech' latest.

Life is a series of disappointments.

Wish the media would stop the wanton criticism of Meghan Markle now. Recent political events have shown that there are people far more deserving of criticism than her. And they live in the White House. She ran a lifestyle blog pre-Harry, the Netflix prog is a natural extension.

JD Vance writes off the UK as a "random country" that "hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years", when its fought alongside the US in multiple recent conflicts. What will it take for the UK Government to realise these people are not our allies, and never will be

Why does this photo remind me of Orwell’s “1984”? 🤔

This is a great listen - deep but good! Now starting to binge watch ‘Amol Rajan Interviews’ to fill some time during an enforced rest period as his insights about them in the podcast got me intrigued. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/g...

Deafening silence from Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden so far…

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Coming up to 48 hrs since I damaged my knee ligament: getting daring, pottering around house minus crutches 👍🏻 First attempt going upstairs: slow but do-able. Coming downstairs: less easy…got stuck halfway & ended up bumping down the rest on my bum 🤣
