Doomscrolling, mostly.

@Glyndle I don’t normally take a colander into the upstairs bathroom, but hey ho.

@subfossilguy Here is a photo I took of the Mer de Glace in the spring of 1990. It was still a sea of ice.

No he is not. Farage, finally, is being treated as a politician rather than a cheeky chappy commentator. He got away with so much for so long he thought he could do anything for ever. The main problem for him is that nobody thinks anyone ever gives a politician five million quid for nothing. His excuses have made it worse. And however hard Jenrick protests you just need to scroll through posts of Reform senior figures since Ann Widdecombe’s murder to see they have indeed been seeking to exploit it both to shift the narrative/avoid continuing questions over the money, and to claim they are treated unfairly by “the establishment” (basically anyone who isn’t a Farage fan) They would be wise to let the police do their job without making it harder than it already is.

@TheRealJamieKay Definite yes, but wear a bib.

@TheRealJamieKay A side portion of statins.

@subfossilguy I took these photos of the Bossons glacier in August 1988.

There’s an isolated thunderstorm that’s formed north of Milton Keynes.

As there’s clear blue sky around it in all directions, it should be visible from 50-100 miles away.

Share a pic if you can see it!

Watching a robot fall over is almost as funny as watching a real person fall over

Fun factoid. Last prime minister to come to power by winning an election and leave power by losing one - what you’d think was the way these things are meant to work - was Edward Heath over half a century ago

Honestly, bond markets do not "go into hissy fits" - they can destroy an economy and its democracy. Makes me sick to my stomach that politicians don't understand this after Greece and Truss. Even Lenin understood bond markets!

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

@LukeTryl This pretty much amounts to the idea that the winner will be the one who most successfully deludes the British people into thinking there are easy answers to difficult questions. Myself I am much more in favour of the 'tell them the truth' approach.

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

In the name of public service, and as ex-economics editor of BBC Newsnight, I offer to do a zoom call, tonight, with any Labour MP who wants to understand why bond markets do not "fall into line" with governments. 1/

If Starmer goes that would be 5 different PMs in five years, despite two of them having historically large Parliamentary majorities…

Impossible to plan, strategise and deliver even medium term economic plans, let alone long term thinking going on elsewhere…

[Faisal Islam @faisalislam]

Euston, we have a problem.

[David Williams @dr72w_david]

The sheer idiocy of these 70 Labour MPs and their knee jerk reaction to a bad set of elections. You don't do this in politics, acquiesce with our enemies, and bring down a decent, landslide winning PM . Been a Labour supporter all my life but this stinks #Labour

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Yes, why would light travel 299792458 times the length of some arbitrary rod in Paris in 1/86400 Earth days?

La photo que je rêvais tant de faire ! Samedi dernier, l'air était limpide et permettait d'avoir une superbe visibilité. L'occasion d'admirer le coucher de soleil sur Lyon, le Groupama Stadium et le Mont-Blanc au fond 😍
La photo a été réalisée depuis les monts du lyonnais.
