Was a very enjoyable R4Extra prog recently with Harry reading his account of childhood in and love for Swansea; not least as it provided him with his wife!

UK and France strike new £662m small boats deal The three-year agreement will see at least 50 riot-trained police officers drafted in to tackle violence and “hostile crowds”.

Amazing BBC can’t report Richard Tice not paying his taxes, Farage breaking MP rules 17 times or his minders roughing up a disabled pensioner who complained bc he wanted to park in a disabled bay that had Farrage’s car in it..

But they can report this👇🏼pro far right bollox on a daily basis 🤬

I hope no taxes paid by citizens from the other UK nations were spent on this nonsense.

That is right and almost inconceivable that he thinks he can recover trust in him.

Forget Trump, Starmer and Mandelson here is something really interesting!

Sooooo. Natural Justice so last Century

And why Margaret Hidge looked ridiculous in her defence of this being just what people do for “friends who have lost their job” on Newsnight. Might just about be true if it were a job for which Doyle was qualified but not where he wasn’t where many others were.

Will Mandelson sink Starmer?

No problem! That is my point. It is common so why bring it in as noteworthy adjunct to Pip’s anxiety?

If there isn’t one why bother having her at the clinic having a mammogram and being chatty with Stella. Ok she has hit 50 etc. but……

An Invention of Collective Nouns   A reckoning of spreadsheets. A distraction of smartphones. A prattle of podcasts. A mispronunciation of scones.   A clique of photographers. A heard of precedents. An enjambment of poets. A grope of presidents.   A pile of haemorrhoids. A bunion of personal trainers. A bout of estimations. A condescension of mansplainers.   A stroke of geniuses. A spot of adolescents. An embarrassment of Richards. A collection correction of pedants. Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘An Invention of Collective Nouns’.

He might be too busy dealing with Tracy’s health crisis?

ANA KASPARIAN: “Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, was literally Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign manager. It’s a HUGE problem.”

Israeli assets have infiltrated every aspect of the United States government.

Another intriguing painting by the Dane Vilhelm Hammershøi showing his wife Ida from behind in the exhibition @museothyssen.org in Madrid: This is Resting (1905, @museeorsay.bsky.social, Paris). Read about the show on our blog: art-exhibitions.blogspot.com/2026/04/let-....

Minority view but the footage of the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz makes them look very agreeable. Sunshine, blue skies and seas.

Todd Blanche is an idiot. Just saying….

Starmer didn't appoint Mandelson; Mandelson appointed Starmer

#TheArchers It sounds to me as if the Anguses were worth rearing if they were such high value cattle. Worth more than Helen’s cheese.

Whoop whoop!!

Just like no professional rugby union player should be Olly, Jonny, Freddie etc..

Btw the Daily Telegraph had an article in December 2024 examining the IHT implications for the various farms in Ambridge following the Govt’s proposed tax changes. Can’t remember why but suggested Brian had made some sort of cock up in respect of the land and the partnership. Can it be found?

And didn’t PM say the job offer was “subject to vetting”? Robbins has said that was in the formal offer letter delivered after the announcement of the appointment.

The BBC Archers website has a list of farms in Ambridge and how they are owned.

My view entirely. Lindsay Hoyle is not a nice man and far too keen as Speaker to be demonstrative and in the limelight.

Didn’t Olly Robbins’s just contradict the PM’s statement that job offer to Mandelson was made “subject to vetting”???
He said that was the formal job offer letter language after the appointment been made and announced.

And why would that be Mr Blanche?

He is nothing like a journalist. Accepts feeds and leaks without examination or even questioning why unattributable gossip is real political discourse.
