The glory of the sausage dog is the mismatch between its obvious absurdity, and its look of profound self-seriousness. This mural, from Lao Tanghu 老塘湖 in Taiwan, captures this well.

I visited Tropical Bird Land at the weekend with my nephews. I must confess to having quite a lot of respect for these little guys (purely on the basis that a lot of people I've met who are into skiing have been quite insufferable 😂🙈).

Apologies to any friends here who are skiing fans 🤣🤣

A number of Scots are now being held hostage by Israel. The Israeli regime are beyond unhinged. This is terrorism and cruelty for the fun of it and because they know that they can get away with it.

Do you see how anyone can play this stupid game, and the line of whether it’s taken seriously and reported as a deadly crisis or not is whether reporters want to make a big noise about it.

Michelle Mone says she won't step down as Tory peer - and accuses
chancellor of 'endangering' her
Baroness Mone has written to the prime minister accusing the chancellor of endangering her life with her comments, citing the murders of Jo Cox and David Amess as evidence of the risk facing parliamentarians.
