yes, selling weapons to Russia, Russia destroys Ukraine, Trump has won another war. Simples.

I'm also assuming, if it's a paying streaming service, Trump will take 15%.

dear god! Was it Oscar Wilde who said "America has gone from barbarism to decadence without civilisation in between". I wonder what is going to happen to the victim of the botched execution, now virtually a vegetable.

I dare not suggest an air fryer. I can now fry churros for 50 clad in a Dior evening gown, with elbow length gloves.

this, presumably is a foretaste of how we will all be living after Russian bot attack. Channelling lighting to make a decent cup of tea.

✨ It wasn’t until I first saw the Saxon crypt at St Wystan’s, Repton, that I understood John Betjeman’s words: ‘Holy air encased in stone.’ I’ve never felt the past so close, or found such comfort in feeling rooted in a longer story. A real hidden gem, a must see.

lord, my patents had one of those, Kept warm through dinner parties fuelled by Mateus Rosé, by a small nightlight. The result was not a joy, but tremendously sophisticated for provincial England in the 1960s.

I guess the only comfort, and it is a fragile one, is that Reform, to date anyway, always cock it up.

The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!

well, to be fair, it is still that - lack of access to factual info. Or lack of will to access it.

yes, and interesting to dig deeper into which part of society actually benefits from "economic" growth.

I had to listen twice to make sure I'd heard it properly. So unusual to get a Today journo explaining to Jews/women/black people what they should do.

yet again this weird concept of "growth" is cited. Growth in what?

The Cat Righting Reflex is the official name of the process cats use to automatically correct themselves mid-fall and land on their feet. It develops between 3 - 9 weeks of age, and is responsible for the greatest wikipedia gif of all time.

no you're quite wrong, it's because Septimus Severus and Caracella were not white from South Africa, add to that various non-white generals and you have the seeds of destruction of the Greatest Empire Ever(until my plan for the US).

yes, ditto, one of the pleasures of rambles in the hills! this is on the edge of an abandoned quince orchard (of which there are many). I did not know that about pears, so thank you.

The poire campanette is a tiny wild pear (called le certeau further towards the Haute Alpes).   It measures no more than 3” high, pink and yellow with freckles. If you know where to look …

A “woke” (squints) hedge fund manager, Chris Hohn spelling out the reality “It’s case of decarbonise or die…if you don’t embrace green technologies there will be no jobs because that’s the future…the more we use fossil fuels the more it will drive up prices”

correct me Nige, but was it not, inner alia, the fair EU working practices that you were so keen to abolish to free us from hideous domination by Brussels. Would much rather be overseen by billionaire grifters.

yes, but it lacks that horrid sycophancy of the rich and tasteless which used to be (and may no longer) a feature of that organ.
