Reality there is always tomany 'sharks' for a decent person to ever be elected. Smarmy, fatuous - bang your in with a chance. Better still if you're a buffoon as well

All of this is utterly hollow and hypocritical when you retain the Fellowship of someone making the world less safe, less inclusive. Someone who performed a Nazi salute on the world stage, someone destabilising western democracies. Where is your line? How far will you enable fascism?

Way of the world. Greens obtained council in Bristol & everything they now do is wrong, seems its not so easy this being in power. Spouting idealistic great ideas from the sidelines is simple. Actually using constituents money, balancing budgets providing services ain't so easy to do

A Viz Crap Joke: A nightschool classroom, with a variety of middle-aged folks sitting at desks with an instructor at the front, with scissors, string, sheets of paper on his desk. There is an empty desk with similar equipment in the front row, facing the instructor. On the board behind the teacher are written the words 'Bookbinding Class'. A prospective student has tentatively come through the door and stopped, as the class appears to have already started. The bookbinding instructor is looking towards him with a welcoming smile, inviting him to join in, saying: "Come in. Make yourself a tome."

This is an image of Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales reflected in the mill pond, along with some trees, pink and grey clouds and sheep. The photo was taken just before sunset in January 2025.

Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire (and some sheep!) reflected in the mill pond just before sunset last month for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow.

Defence needs shoring up priority. There are too many points thrown away from being in front

A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

Donald Trump. An Apology.

Something most of us can agree on is, we are here to escape Musk. He’s a dangerous character.
And it’s not often I get political on here but this is something I feel very strongly about.
We need to stop him or Farage may well be our next PM. Fellow Brits, please take a mo to sign this.

Lovely Chris we have 5 foxes in our street but I wish they wouldn't make such a noise at 530 am when I have the bedroom window open. They have no thought for others

Tory Shadow minister Helen Whately just caught on #PoliticsLive telling total porkies. She just said the Tories over 14 years presided over a reduction in UK debt. 100% untrue. UK debt between 2010 & 2024 TREBLED: the exact opposite of it falling. Total Tory fiction on finances.
