“In this moment, I realise that the man wheezing in the drizzle next to me is Chaucer himself – master of narrative, presiding over the raucous tavern of national myth, author of his very own Canterbury Tailbacks.”

Brilliant writing from the man who brought us Marc ne-Francois-pas & The Secret Tory

More fundamentally, if you've set up an economic system that doesn't reward people for doing good then you've profoundly fucked up.
'Conservative commentator' Mercy Muroki: "If you're going into a career in medicine, you shouldn't be doing it for the money... you should be doing it out of love of being a doctor."

Apparently, if you choose a career that benefits society, you should do it for free. 🤡~AA

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

The thought of Farridge’s “particulates” nearly put me off my toast.
Otherwise: irrefutably and searingly biting.

Weird that he is suing them for defamation when he called January 6th a "day of love" and said there was "nothing done wrong at all."

While Wales pays into rail projects in England, our own network is left behind.

A 45-mile journey in Wales can take over 6 hours - because the UK Labour government refuses to fairly fund or devolve Welsh rail.

The New Yorker is on a roll. The bard of the Canterbury tailback does nothing to deserve such sharp eyed and witted attention. A nicotine stain on history, sepia tinted nostalgia for high tar fags to match the gobbets of tar underfoot on the shingle.

I'd tax people on whether or not they're willing to do gigs in petrostates with abysmal human rights records.

'The so-called ‘hero voters’ Labour targeted in 2024 did not actually turn out for them in any great numbers. So not only are Labour fighting the last war, they are fighting it with a battle-plan that didn’t actually work. It’s Labour’s very own winter invasion of Russia.' 👏 @benansell.bsky.social

Wrestling legend Mick Foley just announced he’s parting ways with the WWE because of their connection to Trump:

"I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy…." 💪

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

She hasn't thought about this, Lineker was a striker not a defender.
If we lose an imaginary war with Russia, Gary Lineker and the woke left will be to blame - well that's a perfectly sane take Allison

Yet more birds of prey getting depressed, killing themselves, removing their satellite tags, then disposing of their own corpses. It's hard to believe, but the statistics don't like.

Either that or the shooting industry is involved. But that's a stretch of the imagination too far.

The two options seem to be anti-depressants for raptors or stop game shooting. I would be in favour of the latter. 😀

A small number of people involved in game shooting are determining what birds of prey we are able to see! It must stop. @raptorpersuk.bsky.social

THREE satellite-tagged White-tailed Eagles disappear in suspicious circumstances in England, Wales & Scotland - two tags had been cut off.
