Pretty nice day out in London. Dishoom for lunch, Othello for a bit of culture and a mini pub crawl round Covent Garden. Quick champagne at St Pancras before our train home.

Whole thread, but I love this calendar 😆
We all know we’ve entered the “they’re banning Christmas” season now poppy rage is over on social media.
But I didn’t expect actual newspapers would take the confected outrage by anonymous far-Right Twitter accounts and turn them into “news” stories!
But here we are in 2025🤷🏼♀️

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

I cannot help myself imagining these trees as a married couple. Decades spent together watching the days pass, the seasons pass & the years pass. Alone on this small hill, overlooking some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe, if not the world.

Samuel Danks Waddy - the Jeremy Hunt of his time.
These are dark and brutal times and I’m not in a good place. But I was reminded, in something I was reading, of the political career of Samuel Danks Waddy, Liberal MP for Sheffield 1879-80, and for a moment there was relief from the gloom.

LoveHoliday hell. They don’t release hotel collection times until 24 hours before departure. Turns out they have an old flight time which was changed months ago. But they won’t guarantee a new collection time because I’ve not given them 2 days notice that the flight they booked for me was changed.
