Just discovered #RoseWednesday & couldn’t be happier! Rosa ‘Eyes for you’ brings me so much joy with its bright pink new blooms fading down to dusty apricot with maroon eye. Let’s keep #bloomscrolling ! #roses #gardening #smelltheroses

@lbc.co.uk @mrjamesob.bsky.social the reason they won’t bring him back is a scare tactic for their entire population. If even the innocent are not free from persecution then the rest must conform to the powers above.
As someone who grew up in the Soviet Union its not unfamiliar

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

#BBCLauraK not talking about Ukraine to Kier Starmer but instead seeking a gotcha moment on Trump. Can we finally get some serious journalism instead of this? Why the fuck do we care what Peirs Morgan thinks too? Shit show of a program today

This is what the UK government must do to stop Musk undermining our democracy. An excellent piece & list of actions by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social:

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Shame that every other word is "Musk" on #BBCLauraK. Regardless of political beliefs, I just hope we can all just unite with a very British "don't stick your oar in, mate"

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen

The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

If you bring central London to a halt to campaign against catastrophic climate change you're treated as a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

But if you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

The glowing coverage handed to the hugely wealthy people leading the campaign against inheritance tax reforms shows who has a voice in the media and who doesn't
