So if there’s a peace deal in Gaza, does that mean that the whole Netanyahu clique can now go on trial in The Hague?

Here in France, you offer them your mother’s first born son, promise not to use your teeth, beg them to hurl you against the wall and they just throw the parcel over the gate from a distance.

And the current estate agent has confirmed that all marketing will be withdrawn by this Saturday, at my request, so that we can start with a fresh listing from 26 October. Light at the end of the tunnel, at last.

The new estate agent agreed to my modified terms, which is a great start.

I just had a long chat with the new estate agent, the same agency I bought the house through. They seem much more clued up and on the ball than the current lot. Fingers crossed.

Artus Quellinus is not a well-known name, but in his day he was compared to Pheidias or Bernini. In Amsterdam, Antonia Boström welcomes the chance to see what made him the greatest sculptor of the Flemish and Dutch baroque

The mighty sculptures of Artus Quellinus

The Flemish master brought mythic grandeur to the town hall of Amsterdam with his dramatic carvings, writes Antonia Boström

Great! We no longer have to pay tax and national insurance, right?

Andrew Hesselden @andrewhesselden.bsky.social · 1d

The devastating logical conclusion of this kind of argument is that anyone daring to cross a border (including British people) deserve to have all of their future national insurance rights or safety nets removed.

It’s why EU membership mattered.

I am mainly interested in shared learning. Explain to me why this improves the user experience, etc. That has always been at the heart of how GDS worked. No longer, apparently.

To he honest, they are all good at the initial chat. In this case, the terms are even worse. Fine if they sell the house, but bankruptcy if they don’t. Not at all clear whether photography and a virtual tour are included, for example.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA
