What is the UK Govt's policy on Israel? A mere five days after claiming to suspend trade talks with Israel the UK has sent its trade envoy to Israel. Meanwhile the RAF continues to assist the IDF with its ongoing brutality & indiscriminate killing in Gaza.

Love this New Yorker cover “I wanted to pay tribute to the most celebrated cyclist in the nineteenth century—the first African American superstar of any sport—and to the epic six-day indoor cycling event in 1896 at Madison Square Garden’s velodrome, where Taylor competed” – Kadir Nelson

Lad in the gym just asked me for advice on building his chest (what do I know!?), then took his top off to show me his current chest (erm!), then fell backwards over his bench. Mate, you're in a gym, not a sit-com 😂🙃

Mary Bourke's series on becoming a carer for her husband is a real gem. But it did make me cry mid @gozwift.bsky.social ride which was awkward 😬 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

I inadvertently stayed in an Airbnb cabin in the grounds of this guy's "sprawling home on the banks of the River Cam". Disturbing enough in itself – but to think JD Vance could've scurried rat-like across the lawn!

If this guy's performance on today's #wato was anything to go by, he should never be booked by the BBC again. Vile lies, shouty evasion and zero value to listeners

Not religious myself, but am reminded that Christ has some strong material on strangers "the stranger who dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself"
