For the love of god, why doesn’t someone at #Starbucks teach their staff how to make coffee? This is like luke warm, brown water. #coffee

Today's breaking news. #DailyTelegraph readers must have a very strange view of what's important in life.
The front of the Daily Telegraph website for 22 July 2025. Two royal stories, two about Rachel Reeves, one about Afghans 'tricking' the system and non-doms.

The grammar police have started arrested people for signs like the one I held on our last demo. It'll be an interesting test of the law, because "I support Palestine. Action is needed now" is an expression of opinion. It would make no sense without the full stop. www.instagram.com/reel/DMTrNXu...

Watch as an activist is arrested in Glasgow for displaying a sign reading 'genocide in Palestine, time to take action' 'We're not terrorists', he said as he was taken away by police

Morrisons aren’t going to win any clear labelling awards here. Not surprisingly we thought this pack contains 100% British Butter. It’s such a cynical move. #morrisons #clearlabelling

Bear in mind that if you held up a sign saying "I support genocide", you would not be arrested under the Terrorism Act.

A Pinsta pinhole photograph of fishing boats shot in St. Ives harbour, Cornwall. The images of the boats are blurred, because of the movement of the sea captured by the long exposure.

Here's part of a post I wrote back in March 2017. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it now... "It's very easy to be cynical about politics and politicians, I've certainly been guilty of the that myself." (1/3)

Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom. press.princeton.edu/ideas/bookst... #BookstoreDay
This essay traces the long and turbulent history of American booksellers who have faced censorship, harassment, and even violence for defending the freedom to read. Through vivid anecdotes and historical cases-from undercover stings in the early 1900s and legal battles over “obscene” literature, to FBI surveillance of Black bookstores and bomb threats against feminist and LGBTQ+ shops-the author illustrates how bookstores have repeatedly become battlegrounds in the fight for civil liberties and free expression. Despite intimidation from both government and private groups, booksellers have pushed back, shaping legal precedents and rallying communities to defend First Amendment rights. The essay ultimately calls on readers to recognize bookstores as “arsenals of democracy” and to support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

I've signed up to @carolecadwalla.bsky.social Substack, which I'd recommend. She mentions this clip from 'The Thick of It' filmed at The Guardian; it's still bloody brilliant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLqX...
