I hope you are all sending in a complaint about this.

Excuse me?

When threatened, the Pipe can spray holy venom up to 25ft..,

Check out reviews and website legitimacy elsewhere - many of the FB shops are recently set up, sell Chinese cheap clothes, and are faked to look like UK based upmarket clothes shops.

FT similarly report "A US official denied a report that Washington had agreed to unfreeze Iran’s assets".

The BBC are reporting that the US have denied this.

..and sometimes the weather over Morecambe bay can be quite different from 10 miles inland. Its still pissing down here.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Since Russia has lost access to Starlink they have started to lose territory. We shall see is this continues.

They are not, at the moment. Ukraine has been recapturing land.

Well, having just heard on BBC a clip from his speech where he said Orban has done the most of any european leader to help stop the war (ie unspoken- side with Putin!) You know what side he's on. Orban is blocking EU funds to Ukraine.

Absolutely brilliant (re, Trump)

Its funny.. but not. I am going to enjoy the outdoors and the glorious spring weather today, just in case tomorrow turns to shit, and the world changes irreparably. Sigh.

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

Flight of fancy Sir, I was interested to read David Scowcroft's letter about how much he and his wife are enjoying sex in their eighties (Apr I). My wife and I are both in our eighties and when she recently asked if I'd like to go upstairs to have sex I replied that she'd have to choose one or the other as I couldn't manage both.

Must be a contender for best ever letter to the Times

It is the wound in Time. The century’s tides, chanting their bitter psalms, cannot heal it. Not the war to end all wars; death’s birthing place; the earth nursing its ticking metal eggs, hatching new carnage. But how could you know, brave as belief as you boarded the boats, singing? The end of God in the poisonous, shrapnelled air. Poetry gargling its own blood. We sense it was love you gave your world for; the town squares silent, awaiting their cenotaphs. What happened next? War. And after that? War. And now? War. War. History might as well be water, chastising this shore; for we learn nothing from your endless sacrifice. Your faces drowning in the pages of the sea. Carol Ann Duffy, ‘The Wound in Time’ (2018)

War. And after that? War. And now? War. War.
History might as well be water, chastising this shore.

-Carol Ann Duffy, The Wound in Time, written on the occasion of the centenary of the first World War.

Wooahh.. what a poem for today. Thank you for sharing this.

Sigh .. we should be discouraging usage! How a crisis reveals true nature of parties. You are being very irresponsible

He was due to do a press pool sometime near 9am EDT- has that not happened?

Listen to it - it was chilling. Sunday program R4 from about 8.25. Discussion between Trump's Evangelical Pastor Lorenzo Sewell and Massimo Fagiolo (Catholic theologian). "The bible is a book of war. God is the God of war" Iranians are likened to pythons and wolves that need to be eradicated.

There was an Evangelical on R4 this morning explaining that war & destruction was Gods will and challenging any criticism by telling people to read the bible. It was quite eye opening!

was he seen before 11?

Not a chance... the Uk does not have a magic money tree, and fuel price rises will help reduce consumption. If any subsidy, I would prefer a subsidy for public transport.

A very interesting article from the Telegraph, of all papers! Showing the UK is in a better position to cope with the Iran shock than is claimed by the IMF etc. Well worth a read. I would really appreciate some energy expert views on whether this analysis. @snellarthur.bsky.social

This is well worth sharing.. very interesting if correct! Thank you.

I complteley agree... as long as we double down on renewables as well. It might not add much to supply but it will add something.

Be warned ‼️
This is very rude and borderline unacceptable- but they’re trying to make a powerful point.

hahha!! Yes.. its quite near the knuckle! But powerful too.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

You knew this was coming. 🤣
