Turns out that my husband and I struggle to live in a dog-free house, so meet 8 week old Suki. Several weeks ahead of schedule; she cannot ‘replace’ Cleo, but ‘Goodness!’ she is such a blessing & a salve, and due to her confidence & charm a complete distraction. We are besotted.

What a surprise! Ridiculous bunch of people who feed off a diet of misinformation/disinformation and ignorance, fed to them by unscrupulous, desperately horrible people.

Recently, I have tried to make a conscious effort to feel less politically angry (I have been exhausted by it since Brexit); unfortunately, and probably as a result of the Trump/Musk/Vance horror, anger has only been replaced by depression. I think I need to return to anger.

This mum of four & retired teacher finds the Elon Musk thing with his son a little disturbing and creepy. It all feels a bit ‘off’.

when writing about the rise of British populism it’s worth bearing in mind that voters still prefer Starmer to Farage… ….and even prefer Ed Davey to Farage

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Excuse the ‘pity post’, but this little girl (shown at a few weeks old and then at almost 15) died in her sleep a couple of weeks ago & ever since it has felt like all the joy has been sucked out of me. Unutterably sad.

May I remind Keir Starmer, the present occupant of 10 DowningStreet, the Foreign Sec David Lammy and the chancellor Rachel Reeves that Trump's attack on Canada is an attack on a member of the Commonwealth of which Charles III is (nominally at least) monarch. 1/2

I’m kind of unamused by the glitching during the Scotland national anthem just now at the beginning of the game. Do better BBC. #SixNations #ScotlandItaly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏉🏉🏉

Fascinating (but not unpredictable): two exact same messages from the same person on here & on the ‘dark side’ (ex-Twitter). Look at the ratios, & if you can bring yourself to, go on & look at the comments. Twitter exists solely for nationalistic, racist hatred & fear these days - tragic. #SadiqKhan
