This is our main form of entertainment at the moment: six fox cubs (plus vixen) growing up before our very eyes, just outside our kitchen balcony in central Brighton. Definitely better than television 🧡 #FoxOfTheDay #FoxesOfTheDay #FoxCubsOfTheDay

You've got to admire how Liz Truss' strategy to stop people from talking about how she crashed the economy has involved purposefully generating an entirely new news cycle about how she crashed the economy

one of the most thorough skewerings I’ve ever seen during PMQs
Keir Starmer says Kemi Badenoch in eight years as an MP never mentioned grooming gangs in the House of Commons - not once - even when she was children’s minister
Badenoch insists she has raised the issue “in speeches” but is unable to deny the charge #pmqs

There’s an antiques emporium in Norwich of such unfathomable strangeness every visit produces fresh gasps of bewilderment and terror. Recent finds:

I love this map of places where sycamore gap tree saplings will be planted. They include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND and a plot in memory of a 15 year old girl killed by her ex-boyfriend. They stretch from the Orkneys to Cornwall. By @nationaltrust.bsky.social

This may look hand made but it's not. Strong winds during #StormDarragh over Exmoor have created this. Beautiful.
