There is probably a word in German for getting your bedsheets dry on the line in a November day in Lewis, only to have a malicious bird crap on them.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

If these fungi aren’t called witches nipples, they should be!

One of the most remarkable images out of Spain yesterday is from this town in Aragón.

That's a lot of water, but the dam — which was ordered built by the Emperor Augustus — held firm, just as it has for the past 2000 years.

If @TIME is wavering over who to name Person of the Year, may I suggest Gisele Pelicot? Her bravery and resolve are exemplary, and every last one of her rapists deserves to rot in prison until death. I hope she can find some semblance of peace, however small, when the trial ends.

50 yrs ago who would have dreamed it would be the Labour Party that oversaw the end of Port Talbot, Grangemouth and the NHS?

If you are hanging on to memories of the old party pls let go. All you are doing is delaying the emergence of a new party to represent the working class.

📣 Today, the Scottish Parliament voted to demand the UK Labour Government reverse their cut to the Winter Fuel Payment.

🥀 Scottish Labour MSPs were the only ones to vote against it - including Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

Well, Scotland - let's take a look at what you could have won...

@msm_monitor Another observation: in 2023 electricity supplied from Scotland to England totalled 13.27TWh. Wholesale prices currently around £100/MWh, so this is worth north of a billion quid.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten the first rule of Superinjunction Club.

Private equity owner of Autoglass to borrow money to pay €4.4bn dividend.

Debt-funded dividends hollow out companies, increase interest payments, reduce scope for investment; accompanied by higher prices, staff/wage cuts, asset stripping.

Indeed. Business fraud thirty times higher than benefit fraud: yet so far, no plans for hotlines to ring if you suspect a company is having a laugh with millions of our pounds.
