Serious question- does anyone want two 20 year old red foot tortoises? I’m moving house and won’t have a garden for them. Happy to deliver them within a reasonable distance DM with any questions. (They actually belonged to my son but he’s cleared off to live in Australia and left them behind…).

Has it escaped the notice of our government that Trump effectively threatening to bankrupt our national broadcaster - whatever you think of it, it’s paid for by UK citizens - is a hostile act. I haven’t heard them push back yet. #bbc
