What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @sport.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

Heavy rains in Phuket triggered flash floods and mudslides, affecting over 100 households. As more communities are hit by worsening climate disasters, people are left to pay the price of the crisis that they didn’t cause.

Never heard of it so those 2 letters were a huge clue. Also, set off in the wrong direction initially! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Loconundrum #226 ⬜⬜⬜ 🚂🚂 ⬜⬜⬜ 🚂🚂🚂 ⬜⬜⬜ 🚂 🟨🟩⬜ 🚂 🟩🟩🟩

Flávio Bolsonaro has been banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports following his presidential election defeat, amid investigations into suspected influence-peddling, money laundering and other alleged financial irregularities.

Feels like a metaphor for Elon Musk

A bad week for Trump and co?

Thank you to the hundreds of devoted supporters who were there to cheer me on at the press conference today.

🥳💙

Going forwards again, could this be it? 🙏🏻

Just reversing back into Euston! Chelsea FC I really don’t know if you’re worth all this grief, especially when you can’t beat Spurs (which has been almost a given over the last 30+ years)! 🤬

Spoke too soon! Departed Euston at 14:45 and already at a standstill. Apparently overhead lines have come down. May have to go back into Euston and come out on a different line. One positive outcome of this is that I may get all my money back!

Trouble is we don’t have him anymore! 😕

Euston is heaving, luckily got a seat in the waiting area. 20 minutes to departure and praying that everything goes to plan. Though it doesn’t look like it will leave on time as boarding is listed as 14:29!

Another oil spill, this time off Umm Al Quwain in the UAE. How long will marine life and coastal communities keep paying for our dependence on oil? Governments must get moving on renewables. Protect the Gulf’s waters and the people who depend on them.

Serbia’s student-led movement has delivered a historic election upset, ending 14 years of rule by Aleksandar Vučić’s party. Millions celebrated across Serbia and Europe.

Just what we need! 👇🏻

Oh my gosh, great write up and recommendation of a heartbreaking story with a happy ending. One to add to the pile! 👇🏻

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Elon Musk comes out as a far left socialist

Thank you. Here's an example of one of the correct versions: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

It would be great if people could share my wife’s GoFundMe. She has been wonderful in the most important roles in life – as a mother, grandmother and a teacher. Please donate if you can. Thanks gofund.me/5e34e0fa3

Our unstoppable march to power contin... WHAT THE FUCK?! 12 points behind Labour?

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Well, the best laid plans of mice and men…! Friend meet up cancelled due to her ill health, Diwali celebrations cancelled due to inclement weather. Took a leaf out of @gillybee66.bsky.social book & went to V&A East for Music is Black exhibition. 👌🏻

He’s right, sensible advice being derided by those in a position to mock. Water is my downfall, as I don’t like to drink from plastic. But food, torches, candles, matches, first aid kit. Gutted I got rid of my camping gas cooker though. 👇🏻

I remember visiting that place with my parents a long time ago, and noticing that a number of visitors were in fact pilgrims (they weren't hard to spot, believe me). Razing it to the ground felt like the best option then, and still does now.

It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.

Feeling a bit rough this morning after being up all night comforting Richard Tice, who was crying hysterically.
