I am HERE for my regular* Olympic national uniform watch at the flag parade, and it's the winter one so look out for superb coats. #WinterOlympics

(*except for the ridiculous 2024 decision to put them on boats where TV cameras could barely see them. In the rain)

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

"Pull factors" on steroids.

Bannon's involvement in Brexit was well documented, but nobody cared. The right wing media wants to carry on the Brexit charade at any cost so will continue to con people gullible enough to believe Brexit was ever about the interests of the people.

Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13)

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

for connoisseurs of local journalism traffic farming, this is the latest frontier – you reprint ancient facts from Wikipedia and present them as news, in order to create curiosity gap headlines that appear in Google Discover / Apple News

My favourite thing about Mock the Week being on TLC is that you now get adverts..

...which are seemingly just @daraobriain.bsky.social advertising Mock the Week.. whilst in the middle of watching Mock the Week

We've got some very special moggies in at the moment, and they're going to need lots of vet care -- especially poor Antonio who's got to have an eye and some teeth removed, and Jinx who has lost almost all her fluff.

Please could you help us?

I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

Just one week left to back Trackside Transformation on Kickstarter.

If you’re interested in railway stations or interwar architecture, it won’t disappoint.

As someone who lives in the West midlands, WMT have proper got their act together and run a very good service compared to 6yrs ago. Not perfect, no, but it rarely dies (unless you're on the Shrewsbury line)

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Another delay for east London’s Beam Park station as business case is reworked A decision about whether East London’s long-delayed Beam Park station will be built is now not expected until later this year.

Still in awe of this. Labour councillors, Labour MP, Labour mayor, Labour government. They promised they'd build it both before and after the general election. They added it to their "Homes Accelerator". Building homes is their flagship policy. It is all nonsense. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/ano...

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.

You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Receipt from sainsburys today (24 Jan 2026) advising gift cards cant be extended by just doing a balance check or redemption after 25 March 2021

I wonder when Sainsburys will amend their wording about their gift cards expiring on their receipts.

It's coming up to five years since it was relevant now...
