School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

So the rain is falling and the wind has brought a ton of leaves down but the view outside my back door is still pretty colourful 😊

A striking Jackdaw against a dark background

A beautiful Mallard's head against a dark background.

🪶🦉 It's easy to overlook the birds we see everyday but in the right light they can be just as beautiful as the more exotic species.

I was at Nostell Priory too. There was a flyer on each seat at the Cornwall Coliseum show so a group of us decided there and then to make the long journey north. Great memories

One of Martin's greatest solos. It was also a fantastic tour.

Oh do fuck off ! It's not a disaster, it will happen AND the Tories started the groundwork in 2023

Amazing that an album this good isn't even in their top 3 😁

Anderson doesn't write many love songs but when he does.... 👌

Ed Davey, "It's so frustrating, so infuriating that Nigel Farage gets such an easy ride from the media"

"As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others given Farage so much time and attention"

"But they never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done"

"The damage of Brexit"

Dartmoor was putting on a show today, black skies, sudden torrential squalls then glorious sunshine all in a few minutes. The B3212 stretching out yo Leather Tor on the left and Sharpitor on the right.

Having a snerdle day sounds more fun than a duvet day 😁

Modbury? Didn't even know there was a venue there 😳

What are the Boris Files and what do they reveal about former PM’s conduct? Leaked material from Johnson’s private office raises serious questions relating to his time in No 10 and since he resigned

EXCLUSIVE - Today the Guardian is publishing the Boris Files

A trove of leaked data from the office of Boris Johnson.

It reveals how Johnson is using the relationships forged in the UK’s highest elected office to facilitate his personal enrichment.

Possibly my favourite of the 40th Anniversary sets, the extras on this are brilliant.

Is he dead ? 🤞

I'm sure my daughter won't mind me sharing. This is how her dog Juniper greets her in the mornings.

Here's a fact for you all.

Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.

Not ONE.

This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.

But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

I don't think the Common Pheasant gets enough love, spectacular bird.

Martin Barre performing at the Cropredy festival 09/08/2025

I saw the Martin Barre Band perform this and many more at the Cropredy festival 6 days ago, he's still phenomenal!

No-one better through the 70's. To think Anderson had a filthy cold during this performance 🤔

They were bloody noisy last night. My daughters poor doggo has to be sedated to get through it 😢

I didn't ask sadly, it was more about the logistics of getting a suitable orchestra in to a studio that was available. I would imagine any solo contributions could be recorded later in IA and MB home studios.

There have been a few false starts but this seems promising. I spoke to Dee a few months ago and she was very hopeful that it would all fall in to place this time. Here's hoping 🙏

My dad served on HMS Cleopatra from 1944 to 1946. It was also a Dido- class light cruiser.

I much prefer this to Lend Me Your Ears which seems a little rushed and opportunistic in comparison.

Still going through the hundreds of photos I took in The Farne Islands a few weeks ago, I think it's almost impossible to take a bad photo of a puffin, such beautiful birds. 🪶🦉
