Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Left the groceries, including cream and yoghurt, in the car in the sun for 6 h - everything quite warm! Put shopping bag on work surface and it fell off, smashing two eggs. What next? - food poisoning?

A Cornish sunset over the gentle, rolling waves. When I took this shot, it felt like the sky was a thousand miles wide and the ocean was a reminder of my insignificance in the big scheme of things. Humbling and beautiful. 😊

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
