Яeform MP Sarah Pochin is so concerned about the impact of second homes on communities that two days after asking a question about it in parliament she bought one on Anglesey / Ynys Môn. Good scoop by my erstwhile colleague @willhaycardiff.bsky.social willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/reform-mp-...

Reform UK MP buys £800k Welsh second home just days after questioning their impact

Is this a case of politicians saying ‘do as I say, not as I do’?

I read the Cornell documents, and they paint an extremely grim picture of a group of men who saw Jane Doe not as a fellow human being, but as a vending machine dispensing bro points they could cash in with their buddies. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

I’m sure many have drawn attention to the advice given by the Oracle of Delphi to King Croesus of Lydia, that if he should send an army against the Persians, he would destroy a mighty empire. Just not in the way he hoped

Maybe these need to be put on a few menus/supermarket walls. These are from the UK National Food Strategy, showing the proportion of UK land used for different things (huge for beef/lamb, tiny for crops), & where we get our calories and protein (68% & 52% from plants). The difference is staggering.

Map of the UK, showing the huge proportion of land used for beef, dairy and lamb production and the tiny proportion used for crops, next to a plot showing that 68% of UK calories and 52% of our protein come from the plants.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

At risk of getting tedious, once more, can we not use the phrase "child porn"? The accurate phrase is "child sex abuse material", which I know is two words longer, but it's what the NSPCC begs us to use, for many good reasons.

It's ridiculous that the Government *still* haven't banned the sale of peat. Peat bogs are still getting dug up and used for compost and in horticulture. Ministers say they'll ban it 'when time allows'. Get on with it already! Sign the petition: actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

Sign the petition to end peat sales!

No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.

For those that have followed me from Twitter you will recall I put out many threads on the lunacy of the plan by Rishi Sunak to make the excise tax system for Alc be based on the strength rather than volume. This subtle change was devastating for the wine industry with yet more UK Brexit red tape.

The Krinitsa winery, just down the road from Putin's Gelendzhik palace, is estimated to be worth over 27 billion rubles ($330 million), making it Russia's most valuable winemaking operation. Plans are...

This is just getting ridiculous. Nothing that has happened (or is reported below the headline to have happened) this weekend remotely justifies talk of an explosion or mass protests. The media are confecting a crisis, and, in some sections of it, hoping to provoke one. 1/3
