One Flew Over The Cuckooโs Nest at the Old Vic is magnificent. Theatre that picks you up & shakes you about. Glorious.
Do other gardeners have a little extra love for those plants that they were *almost* certain had completely died, but kept tending to out of sheer bloody-mindedness, that then somehow come back? There is nothing like noticing that first miraculous tiny green bud.

A classic...
Brighton doesnโt have flags all over.
Some "Turning Point" child turned up at one of my kids' universities today doing a "debate me" thing.
Pretty much the whole campus turned out to laugh at them because most young people aren't racist wankers.
Hungary and Slovakia have lifted their veto on the โฌ90 billion package.
Alongside the aid, a 20th sanctions package against Russia is set to be imposed. Final procedures are currently underway, with an official decision expected within four days.
Following Hungary lifting its veto, the European Union has approved a โฌ90 billion loan for Ukraine.
The reason racism is rampant in Scotland is because we lack class consciousness.
We have a lack of class consciousness because Thatcher decimated the unions on purpose, to realise the individualist, neoliberal dream.
Countering that means doing everything in our power to rebuild community. โค๏ธโ๏ธ

Makes sense. Nothing makes you more operational effective than a bout of flu racing through your battalion.
Over the years of his unfortunate relevance I have sought in vain to find Nigel Farage defining what he likes about this country - and itโs astonishingly difficult to do โ which is weird really because he is without a doubt the most influential and best known English nationalist of our era.
Ecotalkโs re wilding site in Sussex, only just became home to a Colony of Beavers and now this - a Parliament of baby Tawny Owls too. Bloomscrolling instead of Doomscrolling - thatโs what our customers are doing..:)

Philippa Perry: Sleep makes the world safer. Thatโs why itโs so alarming that Trump is up all night
โWhen we are tired, we are terrible drivers, we become more certain and less wise, and the filter that says โmaybe donโtโ goes quietโ: @pperry.bsky.social on the problem with Trumpโs middle of the night social media outbursts

Starmer's authority is bleeding away because the behaviour he is exhibiting actively discourages loyalty inews.co.uk/opinion/feck...
I understand this, though I do think the "red flag" thing is being slightly misinterpreted. These are forms used for the purposes of informing a decision taken by more senior people. They have to tick green, amber or red. The senior people obv have to take red seriously (even if borderline). But...
Which is exactly why Starmer has now changed that process, he was horrified too. It is a defence, nobody can be held responsible for something they didn't know. Lost amongst all this is Mandelson was a Privy Councillor, he already had access to high level security information.
No matter how much I read, I just cannot fathom the idea that civil servants should *not* tell ministers that their choice to be US Ambassador has red flags from Security Vetting.
That's *not* a defence of Starmer - and Robbins may have been applying the rules correctly. But the rule seems insane.
Must admit, watching PMQs earlier, I thought Lammy and Reeves had the expressions of people whose brains were sending endless messages to their faces that said 'Do NOT f***ing move'.
Useful corrective here to all that crap questioning the patriotism of young people

This is great.

Crazy world - Farageโs bitcoin adventure is run by a guy with a bad track record in bitcoin.
And chaired by ex Tory Kwasi Karteng - the man responsible for Liz Trussโs disastrous mini budget and resultant ยฃ40 billion costs to the nation - from one month in power.

I see we're on day four of the score settling over BJ losing his job because of Sir Beer's Korma

Anyway, I see many of you have very strong views as to the two or three things that definitely prove Starmer is indecent, so I'll just leave you to discuss them - and wish you the best of luck with your choice of Saint Saviour, who definitely has never done or said two or three questionable things.
Starmer is a decent person who just doesn't have what it takes to do the job. That's the unglamorous truth. The trouble with building moralistic scaffolding around it, pretending he's The Devil just to make ourselves feel a bit better, is that after he's gone, what will remain is our own dishonesty.
