Andy Burnham: If a majority of Scots want independence there should be a referendum Scotland is a nation - and every nation has the right to choose its own future. Our pledge is simple: choice, fairness and democracy must guide Scotland’s path. Add your name today: www.yes.scot/decide

La culture bretonne (et "régionales") ont toujours posé problème aux extrêmes et surtout au FN. 😤 Elles sont exogènes à leur idée d'une France sans différence. 🤪 Qu'ils ne s'étonnent pas si c'est en Bretagne qu'ils font leurs pires résultats. Ar Penn... qui tombe la tête la première !! 😬

A brand new Cornish language translation of The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson. https://cornish-language.org/product/rath-an-fordh-veur/
Life is not safe for the other animals, as the villainous Highway Rat gallops along the highway, stealing their food. Clover from a rabbit; nuts from a squirrel – he even steals his own horse’s hay.
Will he finally meet his comeuppance, in the form of a cunning duck?

This was a really poor statement by Burnham. He doesn't get to decide when or if there is a referendum. It's never "off the table" and the comparisons to Brexit and Scottish Independence were idiotic.

You email of a goldcrest, drawn by your window light, this fresh spring to watch you write. Like a detail from a tapestry or Book of Hours… —Tom Pow, “Goldcrest” from NARANJAS, @galileobooks.bsky.social 2021 #poem #poetry galileopublishing.co.uk/naranjas/
Goldcrest
Tom Pow

You email of a goldcrest, drawn
by your window light, this fresh spring
to watch you write. Like a detail
from a tapestry or Book of Hours

in which a harbinger of light
rhymes the flame within a monk’s cell.
Little more than a ten pence piece,
smaller than a wren; like one

of your gran’s burnished onions.
We crunched through a whole jar of them
in my student eyrie. Back then
you wore a fine gold crest yourself

(and sideburns like golden daggers!) –
though your colouring was closer
to brass. (The true gold lay elsewhere.)
The early bird flits from the shadows

in its forest of threads. And how
it burns; like the distant blessing
from a friend, at the precise moment
the industrious monk looks up.
