A black and dilapidated wooden jetty at low tide.
It's not quite the seaside, but it is sea-adjacent: a jetty in the Teign Estuary. I wouldn't fancy walking along it to get on a boat though.

A clump of tree ferns.
I saw a little plantation of tree ferns last week - would that be a 'copse', I wonder? They are strange and exotic creatures, and only grow in a few damp, sheltered, and warm spots in the UK.

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.
Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.

"Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide." [A.E. Housman]
Easter is gone, but the cherry blossom is still with us - and it has been looking lovely this year.

I don’t know what happened, but I bet this eagle is about to speak with a manager…

Zelenskyy makes a big announcement: “We have already reached 10-year agreements with three key countries: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. We already have requests from 11 countries – the Middle East and the Gulf, plus we’re also gradually turning our attention to the Caucasus.

👏 Neil Kinnock: “The special relationship has to ultimately mean rejoining the European Union – or to be more accurate and forward-looking in a changed and changing Europe, it has to mean joining again.”

Fun fact that lying UK journalistic hacks won’t tell you because they hate Labour: Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. #UKPolitics
In short Rayner had to resign due to concerted media & political pressure over a single stamp duty mistake. Millionaire Tice bankrolled his party through deliberate, dodgy, tax-avoiding corporate tricks and yet the media pressure is limited to a few outlets.

@iandunt.bsky.social on our brand new report 🇪🇺
"Customs union is a distraction. Only full membership offers a compelling vision of Britain's future."
"Rejoining the EU is the cleanest political argument and the strongest economic argument but it has a weakness."
And this, my friends, is why I persist in using a flash drive instead of using the cloud.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
The revelations about Tice's tax affairs just keep piling up.

Great.
The Hungarian election winner, Péter Magyar, is eyeing a special relationship with Poland’s prime minister, Donald Tusk to draw on the neighbouring country’s experience of repairing relations with the EU after years of illiberal rule.

Schwarz-weiß-Foto eines schmalen, gewölbten Fußgängertunnels. Der Eingang besteht aus einem runden Backsteinbogen, flankiert von grob behauenen Steinblöcken. Im Inneren sind die Wände mit glatten Fliesen verkleidet und mit gemalten Blumen- und Schmetterlingsmotiven verziert. Eine lange, helle Leuchtstoffröhre verläuft mittig an der Decke und beleuchtet den Tunnel gleichmäßig. Der Boden ist mit Ziegelsteinen gepflastert und führt zu einem dunkleren Ausgang am anderen Ende. Die Aufnahme betont starke Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste und die unterschiedlichen Texturen von Stein, Fliesen und Licht.
