Trevor Phillips said on Sky News this morning that "everybody in the country who could read a newspaper" knew in advance of the Mandelson appointment that he was problematic
is this the same Phillips who interviewed Mandelson on October 08 2023 and didn't ask any questions about Epstein friendship?
Unimprovable headline

Formica pratensis, the black-backed meadow ant on Guernsey- mega-industrious ladies! They were in the UK but disappeared in the 80’s
These colonies have been flagged to ensure that they are not strimmed by council workers & this also helps to show the public where these charismatic ants live

Can we STOP pretending Trump has a plan?!
The imbecile has just increased Iran’s leverage,
Made life worse for all of us,
…all because he’s a thick AF egomaniac and Netanyahu’s little lapdog.
Has anyone noticed that wherever JD Vance goes, he just makes a mess.
In Munich he insulted European allies. In Greenland he turned everyone against Trump. And now he’s helped Viktor Orbán lose re-election.
Maybe better to spend more time on the couch VP.
Just now on Sky News: “A good night for Europe and a great disappointment for President Trump and Vladimir Putin.” I still have the ability to feel shocked when hearing words like that out loud and remembering that the current US and Russian governments are on the same side.
It’s hellish.
Waking up every day witnessing hell. While fully understanding we’re ‘just’ witnessing it.
Unbearable that millions of people are suffering it, losing their loved ones, experiencing trauma, pain, seeing their homes and lives obliterated.
2026 & evil men still rule the world.
The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men.
Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.
Chatting with an Iranian woman on the train just now who has family still in Iran. Secular and been in the UK a long time. Says that she now prefers the Iranian regime to American “support”. Quite the achievement of the current White House!
The behaviour of peers regarding the #AssistedDyingBill has been appalling. The House of Lords DOES NOT have the right to thwart the will of MPs and the public. Yet through time-wasting tactics, that’s exactly what a small handful of peers have done.

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen
(April 6, 2026) In this fully illuminated view of the Moon, the near side (the hemisphere we see from Earth), is visible on the right. It is identifiable by the dark splotches that cover its surface. These are ancient lava flows from a time early in the Moon’s history when it was volcanically active. The large crater west of the lava flows is Orientale basin, a nearly 600-mile-wide crater that straddles the Moon’s near and far sides. Orientale's left half is not visible from Earth, but in this image we have a full view of the crater. Everything to the left of the crater is the far side, the hemisphere we don’t get to see from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits round us. Image Credit: NASA
👨🚀 The #Artemis II crew are now further from home than any humans ever, and European engines brought them there 🚀.
🌍 The record of 400 171 km was previously held by the Apollo 13 mission 🌕.
Photograph of cloud patterns over South Wales, UK.
Beautiful cloud patterns over South Wales at the moment. I'm hoping it disperses late tonight so I can get some #astronomy done.
There is no need for this. Landlords can employ a professional cleaner and offset the cost on their tax return.
We do things in the interests of Britain, says Starmer
So why is the King going to the US?
There is nothing we will gain from it
Apart from abuse from the US President
FFS, tell Trump where he can stuff his celebrations
Anything else he will see as weakness
We need to grow a backbone
No dates in Wales, I noticed.
Map of the UK, showing the huge proportion of land used for beef, dairy and lamb production and the tiny proportion used for crops, next to a plot showing that 68% of UK calories and 52% of our protein come from the plants.
Maybe these need to be put on a few menus/supermarket walls. These are from the UK National Food Strategy, showing the proportion of UK land used for different things (huge for beef/lamb, tiny for crops), & where we get our calories and protein (68% & 52% from plants). The difference is staggering.
Is that an Infra-red photo?
"Sex slave' woman wanted for burglary A WOMAN who had five pitbull puppies cloned in South Korea is wanted in Tennessee on burglary charges, lawyers there said today. Joyce MeKinney, 58, was accused of telling a 15-year-old boy to burgle a house to raise cash to buy a false leg for a horse. She fled Britain in 1977 to avoid a trial for allegedly abducting a Mermon missionary and making him her sex slave.
Every sentence brings something new to the madness. Stick it on CEEFAX.
Reminds me of the time when a friend, who wanted to breed from one of her ponies, typed "Arab Stallion" into Goggle.
😂
If that cunt Nigel Farage wasn't in parliament for the energy debate why the fuck did #BBCnews seek him out in another part of the country for his flacid opinion?????
If he can't be arsed to attend parliament his opinion should not be courted.
WANKERS!
When are we gonna admit that billionaire‑ism is an illness?
They’re hoarders
No control, insatiable greed & their hoarding just drains every one of us
They cut wages, buy politicians & bleed the planet just to watch a number tick up that they’ll never spend
Sick in the head.
Announcement: After 5 years in the Geosciences Depart., I am leaving @boisestate.bsky.social in July. The past 14 months saw the dismantling of my entire research program and funding has been too slow to recover.
Help with job leads would be appreciated 💜 #soils

Forecasts are a bit conflicting. Met Office says clear sky here but Clear Outside AP says 100% cloud cover.
