RIP Andy Kershaw. I’m sorry you never quite outran your demons. But thank you for the good stuff, of which there was a lot…

If the #JCB Family of Multi-Millionaires are so hard up to pay proper Inheritance Taxes, why are they able to donate SO MUCH MONEY to #Reform Party?
Oh ... so they have expectations of #Reform helping out the Multi-Millionaires?
Right. Noted.
"Party of the People", eh?🤮🤮

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.
Bydd Tom Jones yn canu yn A Coruña yn un o gyngherddau y ‘Jacobeo’ ym mis Gorffennaf. Cynhelir dathliad y Jacobeo pan fydd gŵyl mabsant Iago’n disgyn ar ddydd Sul. Mae’n flwyddyn arbennig hefyd i’r sawl sy’n cerdded y Camino de Santiago.

It’s not just selfish -it’s a complete breach of the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 when the US and others encouraged Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for these countries guaranteeing Ukraine’s borders.
The US is duty-bound to assist in Ukraine’s defence or its promises mean nothing.

So sad to learn of the passing of Moya Brennan of Clannad. For me, her singing was the bridge between the old traditions of Irish music and something new and vibrant as contemporary sounds and influences came into it.
Her instrument was her voice, and it was stunning.

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake..
Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted.
Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.
In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money.
Their "patriotism" is always a con.
Time to impeach. He's done.

@jayrayner1.bsky.social thank you so much for your glowing review of Arabic Flavour in Aberystwyth: it was what prompted us to eat there while visiting the town. We had the kind of meal which genuinely made me exclaim happily between bites.
Do Americans know that their Vice President was in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally to be reelected, instead of in DC during a war in which Putin is helping Iran target Americans?
This, but I also want to be taught how to raise my fears about a loose dog without the owners either dismissing my concerns or yelling at me like I'm a public danger for being afraid of their pet (yeah, mate, YOU can't see the scars on my body from a dog attack, but they are there).
Madness. Here’s hoping for another famous u-turn very soon @europeanmovement.co.uk
I grew up on a farm where we regularly had to fix our own tractors. I also briefly worked for John Deere and watched as they tried to justify why people shouldn't be allowed to do that. Get absolutely fucked Deere, right to repair forever and ever
