Trump historically wore Brioni, an Italian luxury company that makes suits in Italy. Here he flashes a Jos. A Bank label, a US company that long offshored its production to China and Bangladesh. They carry an associated label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in US. Curious he didn't choose that.
Donald Trump in a navy suit. He's opening the jacket, so you can see the label. A close up of the suit label says Jos. A. Bank.

Why we don't stock certain books... An example is this book. The retail price is £22.00 but you can buy a copy in Tesco for £11. We can't blame you for doing that. The price to us from the publisher would be £12.10 as they discriminate against small shops on discount.

US confirms for first time it has deployed space weapons. Planet earth bristling with deadly weapons, now space too. Others will do the same to nullify the threat or gain advantage. No end to the madness. Ultimately, no one is safe in the death race.

Watercolour of two blowsy poppies, with dark maroon bases to their petals fading to pale pink, with a yellow centre visible in the middle of the nearer flower. Surrounded by deeply incised pale green leaves and three stems with poppy seed heads, round with a yellow 'crown' on top.

It seems inconceivable that only a decade ago, this was just species-poor grass. Now it's a wild mass of trees, flowers, flying insects and birdsong. That's the transformative power of rewilding.

Often, when I'm out walking the farm, I'll just sit awhile and drink in the changes. Like in this spot where the foreground is rapidly transitioning from species-poor grass and bracken to megadiverse habitat, crammed with inverts, birds, and other wildlife. Rewilding is a soul tonic.

After 45 years of neoliberalism the UK isn't self-sufficient in food, energy, drugs, auto, steel, bricks, cement, semiconductors, and more. The state cannot guarantee clean rivers, safe wastewater disposal, affordable energy, timely healthcare, good housing, decent roads. Taking back control?

Rachel Reeves warns other budgets may be cut to lift defence spending. Hitting the old, sick, disabled, public services doesn't produce a resilient society. How many will die? Govt created £895bn QE to rescue banks, why not the same to rebuild society? 2010-2025: HMRC didn't collect £500bn tax.

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

When life was chaotic, or overwhelming, Heron knew how to find the peace he needed to get him through the day.
He’d learnt that stillness of the body created stillness of the mind. It took him a life time of practice, but it was worth it.
Plus, he was amazing at musical statues.
