NOW 325 DAYS since our nuclear test veterans - national heroes - requested a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss how he will honour the commitment Labour made to them in opposition.
How much longer must they wait?

beaver's return
![Comic by Stephen Collins for the Guardian. Script as follows:
Scene is a British WOODLAND by a RIVER. A NATURALIST is stood next to a cage, and TV NEWS REPORTERS are filming him and the cage.
1
NATURALIST:
And now It is my great honour
2
NATURALIST:
to reintroduce the first wild beaver
back into Britain
3
[Cut to the BEAVER’S CAGE. Its door is open and the Beaver is leaned nonchalantly up against the opening, smoking a cigarette.]
4
BEAVER:
Well, well, well.
5
BEAVER:
Look who's come crawling back.
6
BEAVER:
Got a rubbish ecosystem have ya?
7
BEAVER:
Not happy with the *critical anti-flood infrastructure* engineered by the flippin *badgers*?
8
BEAVER:
I almost didn't recognise you without one of my ancestors on your head…
9
BEAVER:
First you wipe us out… now you ask us to come back and build dams for free…
You actually expect me to be *pleased* don’t ya?
NATURALIST:
I'm so sorry I…I…
10
BEAVER:
“Ooh la la, the Brits have come crawling back…”
Do I look like *Michel flippin’ Barnier*?
11
NATURALIST:
I-if there’s some kind of… *remuneration* we could offer I-I’m sure…
12
BEAVER [throwing cigarette to the ground]:
Unlimited pond weed, two tickets to Abba Voyage.
NATURALIST:
Done.

I wouldn’t normally highlight this - but I think it is important to understand the sort of mind Peter Hitchens has - he lacks empathy - if he doesn’t experience it then it is made up and can be dismissed. An arrogance devoid of imagination and sadly prevalent in our world.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

I have spent a lot of time in Rutshire recently listening to the first 5 Jilly Cooper novels that I read as a teen. So much joy and ‘bonking’ but not sure how to balance that with the ‘of it’s time’ subject matter - lack of consent, lusting after school girls, drink driving and racist language.

Anything by The Cure, REM, The Pixies or TMBG (and more) and starting the intro in my head to the next song. I miss this for my wee ones.
i’m an album girly
playlists are cool
but listening to an entire album in order, the way the artist intended? that’s where it’s at for me personally

It feels different here but the follows from men in Drs scrubs or military uniforms have started….I wonder if they want to start a long distance love affair that will be riddled with unfortunate and expensive (for me) incidents?

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

I’m absolutely thrilled that it is snowing in Devonshire today - I’m glad I still have capacity for joy in uncertain times.
