Brazilians might as well have spiritual connection with balls.

The notion of a non-native species that's been there for 200 years is unexamined bullshit. The very notion of a non-native species, as often employed by naturalists and shooters alike, is itself pretty dubious. https://t.co/wUyQxpDRxu

Sadly, you can either buy jobs in Britain or you can focus on increasing defence capacity. They're not really compatible. https://t.co/JjglysQv0k

"I'm the cook": Cue publishers fighting in upscale London/NY neighbourhoods for the book and Netflix option rights. Time for a reliable Nepalse perspective on the whole industry in any case. The Western stories, in this case at least, are manifestly unreliable.

BREAKING: Dawa Sherpa, A Nepali climber who went missing above Camp III on Mt Everest since last week, has been found alive after a miraculous survival and making an extraordinary descent alone from high on the mountain

He was discovered this morning near Crampon Point by an SPCC garbage management team while crawling toward base camp suffering from frostbite and severely weakened. Details to follow.

Peter Lovett - My step dad is 102 in October. This day 82 years ago he was landing on Juno beach with the Canadians. He stayed there for 6 weeks on Juno, doing his duty. This man is a legend. 🇬🇧

Super idea. Politicians and civil servants intervene in businesses, pick 'winners'. Oh wait, didn't Tony Benn try that? https://t.co/zF3Svb5pwq

I am deeply saddened to learn that Lily was among the Navy personnel who lost their lives in the helicopter accident yesterday in Devon. Lily was a force of nature, the only serving female Commando, and inspiration to other young women - and frankly to me as well.

When I met her in Parliament in May 2025, I put the following post out on LinkedIn with the photo below.

"Her journey ... is one of courage, persistence, and service.

Lily is doing a fantastic job helping young people understand what life in the Armed Forces is really like, and why service matters.

We need more stories like hers in the public eye."

The names of the three individuals who sadly lost their lives this week have been released in full: Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lil-Mae Fisher, PO Owen Green. My thoughts are with their families and loved ones at this terribly sad moment.

In a statement carried on the Royal Navy website, Lily's family say of her:

“Lily-Mae was an extraordinary woman, daughter, sister, and partner. To say she was full of life is an understatement: she took every opportunity to push her limits, achieve more, and bring out the best in those around her.

“We are so proud of everything she accomplished. She has left an immeasurable hole in our lives, and in all the lives she has touched and inspired. The family kindly ask for time and space at this difficult time.”

@Auchijeffblog Can I ask you something unrelated for research purposes? Do you think there are people alive today whose father was alive in/near Benin City in 1880?

[Eric Joyce @ericjoyce]

@TheBeninBlogger Excuse the odd question, but do you think there might be people alive today whose father was born in/near Benin City around 1880?

The image of Cambridge students misrepresents the issue. We choose to have a mass university sector and it's the less well-off who are paying for it through negative/poor returns. We should either give low SES students grants and free tuition or close low-status institutions.

[Eric Joyce @ericjoyce]

It looks like less well off people are intuiting quite accurately the facts of lower SES students going to lower status universities, foregoing earnings, not getting graduate jobs then never catching up with those who entered the job market at 18. https://t.co/qVLIFSUR2E

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

[Eric Joyce @ericjoyce]

@michaelwhite Very true. I remember Jon Cruddas being exercised about Ed's "outrageous" challenging of his brother. Like it was Esau and Jacob and the Labour Party was the former's birthright. One consequence of the Blair-Brown wars was that all the best folk got killed in the crossfire.

[Eric Joyce @ericjoyce]

@michaelwhite You're quite right, Michael. Starmer has the same problem. In government, D Mili always talked as a kind of technocratic guy who couldn't really talk to humans, and he's still doing it 15 years later.

[Eric Joyce @ericjoyce]

@michaelwhite Gosh, I got exactly the opposite impression. As robotic as ever and, also as ever, talking nonsense about Ukraine joining EU.

[Eric Joyce @ericjoyce]

@pjhroberts @michaelwhite Often said, but not true. Unite was priced in from the start. Against all odds, David just didn't have the human skills to persuade enough regular MPs to vote for him.

This senior Scottish police officer has virtually fluorescent hair. It's so tidy and smart his barber, who deserves full artistic credit, should get this picture into his shop window immediately.

The ACC has described the lengths Murrell went to trying to cover up his offending.

Also defends how long the police investigation took.
