Exactly, what a menace David Attenborough is. He threw eggs at my window once. Whereas maintaining a diversity desert solely for the super rich to massacre birds is far greater for society.

Albo goes up in my estimation after bring a four pack of Albo IPAs to crack with Starmer at Number 10.

Can't see Starmer though getting an eponymous beer any time soon though.

Tasting notes: the Albo IPA is actually a decent brew, west coast style.

So the anti-immigrant protestors are pushing a 'protect our kids' message, but with 40% of the Southport rioters already involved in domestic violence, can you see who is the real threat to our children?

A quick stop in Canberra on the way to the snow. In my increasingly middle age, I come to appreciate Canberra more and more

My word @apple you make signing in to Apple TV impossible. After making me create an ITunes account I have given up. Too many steps just to watch some TV

Bungle brings largest metro tunnel build to a grinding halt Two giant boring machines have been at a standstill for at least six weeks due to fears they will dig too close to a Parramatta building’s foundations.

What did they expect from a man in a bear suit?

Rod, Jane and Freddy would have been a much better choice.

Trump denies approving Iran attack plan but will make decision β€˜within two weeks’ President denies report in Wall Street Journal and says newspaper has β€˜no idea’ of his plans for Israel and Iran

How can one person unilaterally make decisions that potentially impact millions in countries thousands of miles away?

Woodside boss says young people β€˜ideological’ on fossil fuels while β€˜happily ordering from Temu’ Meg O’Neill tells energy industry conference that individual consumers’ role in driving emissions is β€˜missing’ in conversations about fossil fuels

Ah, the old blaming the consumer bollocks. Shift the blame from the billionaires responsible for CO2 emissions to everyone else.

To make jetlag even worse, we're all up watching #Eurovision this morning. Though #Sweden did cheer us up

Some cracking #trailruns whilst in the north of England. Largely non-bleak as well!

Great surprise, Albo increasing his majority was not the result I was expecting. Is it a sign that populism, trump-lite politics and anti-net zero stances aren't quite the vote winner anymore, or just that Dutton was shite?

A rugged loop up Cautley Spout and The Calf today with the family. First decent climb for the youngest, hopefully first of many

I'm no moneyologist, but I'm pretty sure that investment and markets like certainty - clear and consistent goals.

I just love it when Donald Flatulence's sycophantic followers all say that this is part of his plan. The chaos is all part of his genius.

Of course.

Seem to be plenty of dogs who don't like runners. Bitten again by a shite of a dog this morning whilst running, never the dog's fault.
