‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’
@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Yeah, Keir Starmer is an exasperated manager, Nigel Farage a golf club bore, Ed Davey an incompetent cuddly uncle but Kemi is every work colleague you’ve ever had who thought themselves to be superior to everyone around them, on steroids.
Badenoch is the most compelling of the current party leaders because of the gulf between who she believes herself to be (she visibly thinks she is a bold thinker) and the reality (incredibly lazy and partisan).

The last tomatoes are in the pot with olive oil and Pinches Salt blend (wild garlic, chervil and lemon balm).
In the garden my dahlias are saying goodbye (actually I went and said goodbye and thanked them for the happiness they've brought). They're slowly collapsing. Time to lift their tubers.

The ITV exposé on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

Your regular reminder that there are only 2 countries in the world with religious clerics guaranteed seats in government or parliament: Iran… and the UK.
Yet again, peers from across the House have called for the removal of the bishops. We agree. No seats should be given as of right to one religion or belief. The Bill to remove Hereditary peers is welcome, but should extend to Lords Spiritual too. humanists.uk/2024/12/12/p...
