Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

I expect lots of lower level staff and reporters will face the brunt of this while Allister Heath writes columns about how anyone trying to resist a takeover by our AI overlords is suffering from the woke brain disease

Full story: The Telegraph is making up to 100 job cuts as it cites an ambition to transform into a β€œglobal, AI-powered” business, almost four months after its takeover by Axel Springer pressgazette.co.uk/news/telegra...

It's horrid out there so I've had a lazy morning in front of the telly (trying to sort my knitting 🀯) and saw that Channel 4 has Six Feet Under on demand. Loved it when it came out, and I'm loving it again now. I'd forgotten just how good the characters are and how quirky it is. #TV

43 years ago tonight I was at the 7pm performance of this, it remains in my mind one of the best concerts by one of the best bands of my lifetime. Link is to a recording of the concert on Soundcloud. share.google/ztKBz0gP1QWV...

Inspired by last night's Great British Bake Off's self-saucing pudding challenge, I dug out my trusty BeRo book and made the tried and tested (many times!) lemon pud πŸ‹. Delicious and dead easy πŸ˜‹ @ricrus77.bsky.social, picture as requested. Waiting for your bread and butter pud pic! #GBBO #puddings

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.

A woman weeps over the genocide in Gaza as she waits to be arrested as a terrorist for holding up a piece of cardboard. Parliament Square today.

A lovely afternoon at the allotment, sun shining and a kind allotment neighbour let me have some of his wood chippings. Redoing my paths this Autumn, so it's brilliant to have this for free πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ #allotment #kindness #happy

Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Just been outside to put the bins out and it's freakishly warm. App is showing 16Β°C but it's definitely warmer than that. Feels a bit weird for here in October at this time of night πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran’s US tour after publicly calling for a free Palestine. He responded by donating his entire $1 million in tour earnings to Palestinian organisations.

NEW: Celebrity Traitors debut draws almost 9m viewers and more than half of TV audience - almost 3m MORE than last series. It got *83.5% share* of 16-34 age group watching TV in that time slot. The show provides an increasingly rare national TV moment. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Well after reading this, there’s hope for a new album a bit sooner than in another 12years πŸ˜‚ And, maybe, all the band being involved too πŸŽΆπŸ’ƒπŸΌπŸŽΆ #echoandthebunnymen #ianmcculloch

Having another lovely, sunny morning at the allotment. Re done a path; the satisfaction of gathering and disposing of the roots of couch grass, horsetail and bindweed πŸ₯³. Another job ticked off (love a list!) Now for some more weeding of the old gooseberry bed... #allotment #lists #happyplace

Just spent a sunny 3 hours at the allotment. List of jobs done - put a small path on the top bed to make access easier. Covered the empty half-don't want to weed it again this year! Tidied my shed, tho' didn't find the saw I was looking for πŸ€”. Music =🐰🍎😎 obv! #allotment #sunnyafternoon #happyplace

I'm now seriously thinking of rejoining the Labour Party. Andy Burnham is EXACTLY what this country needs. Let's hope it all comes to fruition 🀞. Then we will have a fairer and more caring country (and eventually, hopefully, we'll get back in the EU where we belong). #andyburnham #labourparty

Chris Mason on BBC1 news .... the negativity around Andy Burnham's speech.....had to switch off (as I often do now πŸ™„) Watched ITV and Robert Peston was a breath of fresh air, embracing the bravery and fantastic news in Andy Burnham's speech. #BBC #ITV #chrismason #robertpeston
