Let a little sigh of sorrow at work today reading the news on Robert Redford. It was immediately followed by “don’t think I know him”, “have never seen THAT film”. You know where I am getting at #RIPRobertRedford

Meet Dimitris and Elias from #EastAtticaCruises, two friends hoping to change locals attitude on litter pick.
If you are around the #PortoRafti area of #Athens, #Greece, say hello and offer a helping hand. A cold beer will reward your efforts! #litterpick, #SeaWildlife #SeaPollution #AthensAttica

Not making any apologies for anyone but sacking John Torode from #MasterchefUK feels like a collateral and a life jacket for the Director General Tim Davies, amongst all the on going blunders and controversies. Get a grip #BBC

Wes Streeting: ‘half my colleagues’ in Commons using weight loss drugs Health secretary says the drugs are the ‘talk of the House of Commons tea rooms’ as he vows to widen access to jabs

Stopping taxpayer subsidies of drinks/food at the Commons could help those MPs with weight loss, too.

As an #AffectedPassenger today and with very little prospect of plans materialising, I am v interested in understanding why the total lack of business continuity plans are labelled as “unprecedented circumstances” rather what they are: sheer incompetence #HeathrowAirportClosed #HeathrowChaos

Whilst getting rid of the “too many managers” in the NHS may seem like a cut of bureaucracy, some tasks needed doing will ultimately fall on clinical staff. Agree it’s necessary but needs careful planning and actioning. We need clinicians to be clinicians

Feels more and more like Zelensky was invited to the White House to be ridiculed, not to sign any deal.

Polar bear lying on the ground with its front paws touching, looking directly into the camera, its legs bent at its side. In the foreground is snow covering the ground, in the distance you can see brown tree branches.

A flight to Athens, #Greece in August is currently priced by #BritishAirways at approx £500.
Have airlines lost all sense of reason? Who is responsible for regulating air ticket prices?

“What's this?”

Translation: I just overheard you criticising me, so l've come to investigate.

a long-haired, blond, snaggletoothed dachshund sits (or stands? it’s hard to say with doxies) on a front porch. she’s looking up, her long ears draping down the sides of her neck, and her mouth is a little diagonal slash, a perfect smirk that curls up on the right side of her face. her big black eyes are innocent, obviously.

This is Bella. She's a world-class jewel thief. Has just pulled off the most incredible heist, and she's smirking because no one suspects a thing. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday
