Canons of Hexham Abbey translated the bones of some of its saints to a space by the altar #OTD in 1154. The remains of Acca, Alchmund, Frithuberht and Tilberht were placed in a shrine coated with silver and gold and studded with gems. Eata was placed in another. 📸Paul Turner

“We’re at a crossroads in history” Starmer truly has stepped up this week, even his harshest critics can surely admit that. He’s come into his own as a diplomat and it’ll likely do Britain good in the long run. I’m starting to feel much more more hopeful about the UK under Labour’s leadership now.

Bus number 916 was parked at a precarious angle when it was photographed on 16 January 1973 - but as it's #MysteryMonday, our question is - where was it? Reply if you think you know, and we'll confirm the answer later.

This is a first, AFAIK. Eco-holiday firm @bywaytravel has created a map-based booking page where you can create your own holiday or short break by train to whatever cities on whatever dates. Give it a go! www.byway.travel/map/?utm_sou...

Impressive global leadership by Keir Starmer. Without a doubt his strongest performance since becoming PM. A serious leader needed in such serious times. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

I know Starmer is hardly Captain Charisma, but what a relief to have an actual grown up in the room in such dark times. Can you imagine Truss or Johnson trying hold all of this together?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Colm McCarthy has been proven wrong about rail in Ireland again and again and again. He was against the DART, he was against the Luas. He has opposed every successful piece of public infrastructure we have - but he STILL gets a platform to spout his contrarian nonsense.

This is classy. I think Starmer has got it wrong on where we should stand relative to Europe and the US but this is one of the first times I've admired him since he became PM.

Today we saw only one true world leader in the Oval Office. The world leader who visited Bucha in 2022 to see at first hand the shocking slaughter of Ukrainians by Putin’s troops. Trump and Vance should be ashamed of themselves, and so should their supporters.

Dodds is one of the most reasonable, loyal, unshowy of politicians. She faithfully accepted her demotion from the job of shadow chancellor in 2021 and since then she had been a “just-get-on-with-it” slogger for the Labour cause. Not now. ✍️ Andrew Marr

We live in Britain, and there are now profound questions to ask our government. There's no conceivable bridge between Europe & this US administration. Whether we escape tariffs is a laughably parochial question. Yesterday is now an awfully long time ago.

The agreement from Wes Streeting regarding a completely new GP contract in more than 20 years is historic. This isn't just about money for the next 12 months, it will shape general practice for a generation. Nye Bevan made many compromises in the run up to 1948. They were undeniably worth it.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

The irony of #Trump (a Vietnam draft dodger) lecturing Zelensky who refused to desert Kiev and #Ukraine in its darkest hour is not lost on most people. The USA is finished as a world leader.

Starmer’s grip and grin with Trump ain’t aging very well. Not saying we shouldn’t have gone to the US, but stark reality is that U.K. needs to massively reverse out of the ‘special relationship’ - as quickly as possible

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
