This is our main form of entertainment at the moment: six fox cubs (plus vixen) growing up before our very eyes, just outside our kitchen balcony in central Brighton. Definitely better than television 🧡 #FoxOfTheDay #FoxesOfTheDay #FoxCubsOfTheDay

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

You've got to admire how Liz Truss' strategy to stop people from talking about how she crashed the economy has involved purposefully generating an entirely new news cycle about how she crashed the economy

There’s an antiques emporium in Norwich of such unfathomable strangeness every visit produces fresh gasps of bewilderment and terror. Recent finds: 1. Mounted photo print of depressed steam train driver (£1)

I love this map of places where sycamore gap tree saplings will be planted. They include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND and a plot in memory of a 15 year old girl killed by her ex-boyfriend. They stretch from the Orkneys to Cornwall. By @nationaltrust.bsky.social

Yesterday in London I came across someone who was photographing a homeless man without consent. I asked him what he was doing and he proudly told me it was ‘street photography’ ‘for his Instagram’. I asked him politely how he would feel if he was homeless and someone did this to him and he told me

Sorry to screenshot from the bird site, but I am deceased at this community note

Screenshot of a tweet from the official Sky News account:

Timothy West played the Tories’ wartime hero Winston Churchill three times, yet he was a passionate lifelong supporter of the Labour Party

Community note added which just says: This is called ‘acting’ - and a link to the Cambridge dictionary definition

On holiday in Exmoor recently I went to see the excellent film Lee at the equally excellent Lynton Cinema. Apparently Lynton is the smallest town in the UK to have a full-time cinema.
