Where is Starmer's statement of support for Zelenskyy. No excuses. No equivocation.

No-one could imagine Trump speaking to Putin like that. Which is one of the reasons that just happened.

Free speech is going to be such fun when Trump gets his state visit to the UK, isn't it?

Well, the so-called special relationship does rather smack of an abusive one, and has for a long, long time.

#Ukrainecast - the war 3 years on What was going on in the corridors of power when Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine took place? A senior US diplomat & UK politician look back on the third anniversary & look ahead to what happens next www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

The world's richest man - perhaps the richest man who has ever lived - gloating about shutting down aid for the world's poorest people. All while posing as the champion of the common man. The great lie of populism in its most naked and morally putrid form.

I know I’ve been going on about this for a long time now, but it’s something that just seems so ridiculous. In a league where all clubs are losing money, to deprive two of the 18 games of some huge selling points just doesn’t sit right. Thoughts here… www.northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Yup.

#GavinAndStacey behind-the-scenes details, which were revealed during a Q&A. Sonia (Laura Aikman) stayed in different hotels than the crew to protect the plot. She even didn't tell her parents she was in it, who are tuning in to the finale tonight alongside her

Not long to go now!

It has been quite the year, so as a distraction from all that here are my WTF TV news moments from 2024 ✨

Four years since I first posted this on the other place and my life became much stranger.

The River Nene almost touching the bottom of A428 Bedford Road bridge this afternoon as viewed from Northampton Active.

Bit damp round here this morning.

For those too young to remember John Prescott imagine Angela Rayner except she's male/overweight plus Starmer and Reeves are really good at politics but hate each other + she has to stop them fighting all the time.

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans. #Newsnight

Every time there are stories suggesting that 'tonight's a great night to see a meteor shower', I always make sure I avoid seeing the celestial display. I've read Day of the Triffids. I am not going blind if we're being invaded.

Surely someone somewhere has built a tool for automatically finding / suggesting how to find accounts I watch / read from over on the dark side, if they also exist here. Any recommendations? Don't want to be doing it manually!

Have come across to here today from you-know-where, hoping for a better experience. Hello!
