Gosh, no punches pulled & a coruscating assessment.
I think that this sort of statement, from a U.K. university @uniofleicester is unprecedented.

I love irony. The idea that I need to turn my attention to flood prevention whilst I look out of the window whilst a hosepipe ban is still in place!
Residents and businesses are being urged to prepare as Wiltshire Council warns prolonged rainfall and winter storms could bring more flooding. Director of Highways, David Bullock shared how people can prepare and what the authority is doing to reduce the risk. @wiltscouncil

How much fraud would he have been able to commit, if he was thinking straight? Doesn’t paint the Civil Service vetting procedure look very good, indeed it makes Reform’s look like Developed Vetting of the highest order.

🧵 1/5 It’s that time of year when the Poppy myths and legends come out and we get told the correct way to wear our Poppy, on which side & where the leaf should point. It is all 🐂 💩

🧵 4/5 Don’t let anyone tell you where to wear your Poppy, or what to do with the leaf. Wear whatever colour Poppy you like (except white as that raises funds for a political party with no money passed on to charities).

🧵 5/5 Wear your Poppy with pride, remember the sacrifice of those who have died through conflict, whether in uniform or not. Just do what you are comfortable with. Rant over.

Replying to @BrittanyFerries
@BrittanyFerries @Condor_Ferries Does anyone pick up the phone? Having cancelled sailings from Poole to Guernsey it is impossible to speak to anyone regarding what alternatives you are making. An e-mail response states you will respond within 3 days. Not much use for a Fri sail.

A wonderful obituary for my old Chemistry master at Kimbolton School. I have happy memories of the most fantastic firework displays on the Mall. RIP and keep those Angels oohing & aahing with those heavenly fireworks.🎇 telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2…

Sadly, no one listened, they’re not listening now.
10 years later and it’s still one of the best attack lines in a presidential debate. And now everyone knows she was right.

Another odious & unctuous toad kicking the request into the long grass. Stand tall @wesstreeting show some backbone, leadership & moral courage & arrange a meeting with the Prime Minister. It’s the least you can do, or are you implying that you & he are afraid of the truth?
Thank you to MP Vikki Slade for urging the PM @andyburnham today in @HouseofCommons to meet our families But NO @wesstreeting we want a meeting with the PM, not your department over #chinookjustice

What a baseless, spineless, moral coward @andyburnham is that he cannot show sufficient integrity & moral courage to say yes, so kicks the can down the road to the @DefenceHQ. They have already shown their true colours & are afraid of the truth coming out.
We have heard that @andyburnham passed our request for a meeting to the MoD. To say we are disappointed, would be an understatement. We hope he changes his mind. Gaynor Tobias, whose husband was killed, makes a personal appeal to @andyburnham @10DowningStreet #chinookjustice

BREAKING: BRAVO! Volodymyr Zelenskyy is directly asked if he thinks that Trump is using him as a "scapegoat" for his failed presidency — and the Ukrainian President's response is PERFECT. This man is truly a gift to his people... "It's a pretty difficult midterm elections. His personal popularity is very low, diesel prices in the U.S. are very high, and the war that he started in the Middle East is not going the way he wants it. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems?" a reporter asked Zelenskyy at a European Council summit in Brussels. Take a moment to consider how you would respond were you in Zelenskyy's shoes. Trump has been relentlessly smearing you. He just cut a "deal" with Putin to flood the global markets with Russian diesel, pumping money into a war machine that is slaughtering innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children. Then, the Starlink service that you use to prevent Russian drones from striking civilian targets inside your country has its service interrupted, seemingly by the White House. Although he must have been raging inside, Zelenskyy listened carefully to the reporter's question. He then paused for over ten seconds, letting his silence stretch and fill with dramatic meaning. He then cracked a knowing smirk and the room erupted into laughter. He paused, leaned forward, still smiling and said: "This is my answer." "Thank you so much," the reporter said as the room continued to laugh. This is the perfect way to thread the needle. Zelenskyy managed to agree with the assessment that Trump is scapegoating him for his problems without having to say it out loud. He's not afraid to embarrass this disgrace of a President, but at the same time his ultimate responsibility is to the wellbeing of the Ukrainian people. He doesn't want to alienate Trump so badly that there's no hope for a reconciliation and a full resumption of American military support. This is how it's done. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Zelenskyy is a hero!

BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin... "I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?" "How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked. Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with. The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon. "The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?" "If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus." "Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded. We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is Putin's puppet!

Anyone have a copy of Baldrick’s recipe for Rat au Vin, or Rat Fricasse? It seems a shame to waste the fresh rations that Diablo delivered in the middle of the night.
