Old mossy lawns around University of Liverpool’s city campus yielded some interesting #fungi. Particularly the black cups next to old tree stumps. Any help with ID would be very welcome #fungifriday

Young Conservatives. I've always suspected that they're born 45 years old and this does nothing to dissuade me.

You could only do the 'and' in Brian Blessed's voice? 1/10 for effort.

I love the way that he uses someone else who's extremely rich as evidence that they're not all in it for the money. That's exactly how rich people get rich, by saying 'no thanks I'm rich enough, I do have principles you know '.

It's not concession at all. Maybe he has a low tolerance threshold for dickheads?

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Why didn't she draw the very distinct line between the actions of a murderer and protesters? The question suggested that the murders were related to protests when there is no link at all.

Badenoch, Jenrick and whoever else has come up with, or endorses the idea of an ICE tribute act on these shores is a domestic terrorist.

As somebody who admits that she admires Thatcher she might be craving her Orgreave and Battle of the Beanfield moments.

Absolutely. Yet we don't hear anything of the sort from Mahmood or anybody else in a position of authority for that matter.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Tommy Robinson doesn't exist. It's the stage/drag name of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who is a fascist thug with multiple convictions and a face like a melted boxing glove.

There was me thinking it might be one of the Lepiotas. I think even if it were the most edible mushroom known I'd give it a wide berth given its age.

You need to make sure you don't mix up your Pine Warblers with your Blackburnians or people won't take you seriously.

Is any pressure being applied to Netanyahu to stop murdering innocent civilians in order to allow a time of reflection? Or would that be un-British?
