Yipee! Gonna sit up to watch them face humiliating defeat. Deserved & long overdue ousting from power, a power they so long abused.

Bravest of the brave. I am always filled with wonder at how people who live in constant pain & ill health are so feisty & so resolute about not letting it define them or prevent them from doing stuff. I know I wouldn’t be capable of such courage.

Golden Oriole. What a blissfully medieval name. Hope it’s as beautiful as its name.

Do you just “know” all the individual bird’s songs? I have no memory for the chirrups, trills & tweets. I just about recognise the golden notes of a blackbird on the top branch of a tree.

I would stake him out on the burning desert sand with approaching soldier ant column until he can cite one positive benefit of Brexit for the British people.

This is getting ridiculous - how can Farage constantly get airtime with no one pointing out to him & viewers the Brexit he championed has by almost every economic & financial measure been disastrous for the UK?

If that outrages you as much me RT this widely

This never ceases to shock and appal me. How can any country allow their children to attend school with this threat looming over every classroom? How can parents bear to drop off their little ones? Kids with access to guns. “The right to bear arms” was a necessity in the 19thC not now.

When you order anything involving bacon THEY SHOULD ASK YOU HOW YOU WANT THE BACON COOKED like they do with steak. Nobody would say “I’d like undercooked so the fat is thick, chewy and makes me BOAK”. *BOAKS 🤮

There was an Alexander Dumas novel called the Black Tulip. Set in the period in Holland when tulips cost more than gold. A fever for rare bulbs like a gold rush but about tulips.

Vita was right. White is sublime in a garden. The purity & pristine gleam against greens, make it brilliant whichever flowers are used!

Göbekli Tepe, a giant temple built 12,000 BC at the end of the last Ice Age, is another monument that completely turns common ideas about the origins of human civilisation on its head. Who built this temple? Were hunter-gatherers suddenly able to erect a huge monument?

The UK media is giving a tiny party like Reform unprecedented coverage - way more than the larger Lib Dems and Greens get. Lots of reporters at the NEC today. This is exactly what happened with Trump in 2016.

Wealthy families had cold slate floors spread with thresh (straw). As winter wore on they added more thresh but when they opened the door it would blow outside. A piece of wood was placed in the doorway and called the “thresh hold”.

Forfeited the right to govern us. 14 years of lies, corruption & incompetence. 14 years of divisive culture wars & inciting the hatred for ‘others’. 14 years of punishing the poor. 14 years polluting our seas & rivers. 14 years of underfunding the nhs. And IMHO the worst crime against us all Brexit.

It is. Truly wonderful. William Blake was spot on in this verse from The Auguries of Innocence. It is in the smallest details that we perceive the miracle of our lives here.

Staying up all night to watch those smug fat cats be humiliated as the results are read out. Hope Rees Smug loses his seat so he can’t lounge along the front bench sneering his contempt at the plebs anymore!
