Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops Ed Miliband is helping to turn the country into a nation of 'solar zealots' and Josiah Mortimer is enthusiastically along for the ride

“We will become a nation of energy producers; millions of little green power stations. Is that utopian? I don’t think so. It’s already possible, and it’s already happening on a small scale. The challenge is scaling it up.”

Being on holiday in Disneyland would be my literal idea of hell. Maldives looks lovely but you've got to negotiate cancelled flights, long airport waits, not to mention messing up the planet! Love days out - rare with my partner's work addiction, but all the more appreciated for that.

*Kent Builders!

Never forget ....release all the Epstein Files!

I'm sure @nigella.bsky.social would have a good recipe for poaching in their own greasy juices.

James Bembridge, Reform Party election candidate, truly hates the NHS. If he and Nigel Farage get what they want, and win power, can you afford private healthcare?

Good luck! Hope you sell well xx

WHO ARE THE TOP TEN DAVE/DAVIDS?

King and Queen will not meet Epstein survivors during US state visit The legal implications of Charles and Camilla coming into contact with any survivors of paedophile financier Epstein make a meeting impossible while there are ongoing UK police investigations

For anyone hesitant about navigating Tadcaster Rd to the many creatives with studios thereabouts, the @yorkopenstudios.bsky.social organisers have put up a whopping great banner! Head towards it and fan out! There Will Be Signposting incl to Venue 15 where you'll find me & @singfoodie.bsky.social

Essential pre @yorkopenstudios.bsky.social preparations at Majestic Wine - talking for an entire weekend leads to thirst, which requires dealing with. Thankfully this is the sort of mission which the Urban Arrow Shorty was designed for. Venue 15 over 18-19 & 25-26 April.

You would never be able to sit out on that balcony for fear of gulls pinching your breakfast 😆

Negotiating a tricky twiddle then landing on a note at least a tone flat 😂😂 The kazoo is positively modal

"Abandoned Cottage" - tissue, ink, acrylic and collage. It's sealed with several coats of clear acrylic mat varnish so the ink won't fade and is actually landscape format.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

Effin annoying it was. Never heard of it. Effin is a five letter word, just saying

Lee Mack and David Mitchell have been cracking me up on Would I Lie To You. One episode everyone was on the floor

Another one ready for yorkopenstudios.co.uk visitors who don't want industrial decay on their walls (niche I know but) - printed A4 & mounted but unframed & very affordable! Venue 15 along with the contrasting colourful work of @singfoodie.bsky.social over the 18-19 and 25-26 April weekends.

He is insane.

And this is an open declaration of intended genocide.

If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

A swift one from the phone, while out walking near Bramham this afternoon with @singfoodie.bsky.social - great to feel warm sun, see bluebells, watch kites and buzzards overhead. And all sorts of interesting stuff up above them...
