To everyone getting their knickers in a twist… All because @andyburnham.bsky.social suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement …do you perhaps need reminding of this?

Greed

Reform UK's Suella Braverman claims massive taxpayer-funded water bill at home equal to 18 baths a day www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Red Sky in the morning…..

Why don’t they just lay that new sewage pipe in Windermere actually in the bottom of the lake? Surely it would save a fortune in digging and speed things up massively?

Unacceptable even if they are down to 10 men! #safc

In the shadow of the Welcombe Hills monument this morning! #sunrise

Laura Kuenssberg is just the worst political interviewer- rampant bias, not listening, preset agenda- interrupting- just a horrible person.

Outstanding

So of course Laura Kuenssberg has Nadine Dorries to comment on what is going on in France!

Let’s have another look at the time Nigel Farage went to the US to bad mouth Britain, but ended up getting his arse handed to him by the US Senate.

A 1967 studio rehearsal of "I Say A Little Prayer" with DIONNE WARWICK, HAL DAVID and BURT BACHARACH.

Why is a retired banjo playing, public school nepo-baby on the BBC's flagship Newsnight commenting on the Red Wall? And why no mention that: Winston Marshall only has a political platform because his Dad is billionaire Paul Marshall... owner of GB NEWS and the Spectator.

I was on the telly.

Well said. How many of Tommy Robinson’s Sport’s Direct paramilitary division go and help or worship at the churches they claim they want to protect. It’s much easier to don a balaclava and shout at the RNLI. #HopeNotHate

Yeah, Nigel Farage wouldn’t want this video to be shared over and over of him lavishing poodle-like praise on Donald Trump.

People smuggler jailed for Sussex yacht crossing deported Ukrainian national Vladyslav Cherniavskyi, 38, was jailed for six years in March after pleading guilty to three counts of aiding illegal immigration. He was removed from the UK in September, according to some media. The people smuggler used…

Sometimes I get sent a video or photo of a dog and we have to drop everything. This was such a case. Left behind by his "owners" and in a bad way medically. I'm hopeful we can turn his life around. I called him Frank as I hope he puts on weight one day and becomes Frank the Tank

Standing up to the balaclava nonces. Inspiring.

@tugroupoflabmps.bsky.social 2nd policy- a £2 fixed parking fee for out of town shopping centres over a certain capacity to fund high street renovations. Why should you pay nothing at Bicester Village and a fortune to park in Bicester to access the high street?

@tugroupoflabmps.bsky.social hey folks l’ve been sitting on a couple of decent revenue raising policies - please consider these? 1. Motorway advertising- nothing within a mile of junctions but a good revenue stream- every lorry on the road is a massive advertising hoarding anyway.

Elvis Costello’s latest retrospective on how My Aim is True came about is a marvellous journey through the crafting of songs! There are 104 tracks on the album!!!! I thought Sandinista was long!!

It's like watching Bart Simpson doing a classroom presentation in front of Mrs Krabappel after zero preparation.

Hispanics working in the USA 👏🏽

How about a £2 per day fee for parking in out of town shopping centres to fund high street renewals?

NEW ANALYSIS: Record wind and solar save UK from gas imports worth £5.9bn during Hormuz crisis 🌤️ wind/solar generation up 14% in 2026 to date 🏭 gas down ~10% 🚢 >100 LNG cargoes avoided

Looking forward to Sunderland being awarded the 2014 League Cup as Man City cheated. If they hadn’t paid Vincent Kompany so much he would never have caught Fabio Borini and we would have been 2-0 up. #SAFC

NEW Stewart Lee column The collapse of compassion in post-Brexit Britain suggests it’s now time for Roman-style lethal spectacles. The alternative – stopping malign global influences from destabilising our society, say - seems beyond us www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

"I'm a mom -- an anti-drone radar. Life doesn't stop. But how can I let my child go out alone?" a Ukrainian mom says as she escorts her son to his training session during a Russian drone attack on Kyiv. @ Gerashchenko_en

Of course, it’s well known that clubs include footballlers in their payments systems over several years!

Switzerland sure has some purty places!

That’s some big bells!!

High Alpine Swing- Winteregg, Switzerland.

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

Pretty sure this is the highest altitude Pepper has reached at over 7500 ft above sea level! Lake Bachalpsee in Grindelwald. She always enjoys a ploddle no matter the altitude!

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

New immigration stats show that the numbers of asylum seekers in hotels is down to 16k - falling 50% in a year. Small boat crossings down 23% in the year to June. Numbers waiting for initial decision down from almost 180k to 40k.

Unbelievable! #wildfires #climate

Seriously? WTF is this doing in parkland in Stratford on Avon?

The Welcombe Hills monument in Stratford on Avon.

Vantage point. Above Stratford on Avon.

I just saw Game of Thrones: The Mad King at the Royal Shakespeare theatre in Stratford on Avon and it is a magnificent production worthy of any stage! An amazing precursor to the Game of Thrones saga.

Omg, other riders stopped mid-race to watch Mathieu Van der Poel’s win on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. 😆

Am I watching Rugby? #FraEng

Now let’s see England sit back and defend for 90 mins!! - COME ON!!
