BlueSky, meet Monch.
We met Monch just over a fortnight ago when OpGeek spotted them sitting on the lawn when he was doing the bins.
When they didn't move I gloved up and picked them up to check. They rolled up nicely, so we put some cat food out, and we've been feeding them every night since.

I think what this (widely shared among some people who follow me) attitude misses is that, of course, if you have a series of cowboy builders, you are going to be more and more irate as the process goes on.
The fact that every single PM this century has been more unpopular than the previous one shows that the electorate is impossible to please. We are simply predisposed to automatically hate every government no matter what. I don't know how that's sustainable long-term.

I find it horrifying how many people support the two-child benefit cap, knowing that it forces children to live in poverty. Sometimes the voters are morally dreadful and you need to ignore them

Speaking of @downrail.bsky.social, their volunteers got a surprise last week.
While shunting stock they spotted an eel that must have came up with the flood and got stranded as waters receded. They staged a rescue and got it back into the river.
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear orange hi-viz.

You may have seen some headlines about welfare spending going up to £406.2bn by 2030/31.
That is correct, it is the OBR figure.
Here is what you may not have seen.
Of the £406.2bn
A) £195.4bn goes to pensioners
B) £13.9bn goes on child benefit.
Facts matter.
