Antoni Gaudí looking on the completed and blessed Tower of Jesus Christ in approval. Well done, Barcelona!

PhDs will be written on how this happened and what it says about Britain.

This is quite a photograph. A young David Attenborough with 2 children. The boy is now the King and almost 80. The girl is Princess Anne, a couple of years younger.

Happy 100th Birthday to David Attenborough! 🎉🎂 #Bristol is highly regarded for its BBC Natural History Unit and its long association with David Attenborough’s documentaries. So, with that in mind, here’s a tribute to one national treasure from a local treasure, Morph, complete with camera, safari suit and wildlife. 🦜🥰 #DavidAttenborough @AmazingMorph

Dear David Attenborough, Congratulations on reaching your 100th lap around the sun, young man! Thank you for sharing the wonders of our world with such care and curiosity. Here’s to many more years, slow and steady wins the race! With admiration, Jonathan the Tortoise

"Vote Reform... or else." UK voters don't like bullies.

Pledging to do nasty things in places that vote for your opponents is the worst form of Trumpification of UK politics. British voters will see through this.

Significant. Lawyers for Reform UK donor Ben Delo say that referring to his criminal conviction is a breach of privacy law, with no "public interest". If highlighting the criminal records of those bankrolling UK political parties is not in the public interest, what is?

The lead article in #LePoint from #France (“The Great Heist”)is an extensive investigation into the intersection of Trump’s second term and his and family’s private business interests. The report argues that the White House under Trump has shockingly been transformed into a "cash machine" for the #Trump family and their associates. Key themes of the article include: 1. The "Crypto-President": The report examines how the administration’s shift toward pro-crypto policies coincided with the launch of Trump-branded digital assets and "World Liberty Financial," alleging that regulatory decisions are being influenced by the President's personal holdings. 2. Insider Trading Allegations: Le Point investigates "troubling" market fluctuations that occur immediately following the President's social media posts or policy announcements. It suggests that a small circle of "insiders" may be profiting from prior knowledge of these shifts. 3. Real Estate & Private Clubs: The article details how foreign delegations and lobbyists continue to frequent Trump-owned properties (like Mar-a-Lago), creating a system where access to the Commander-in-Chief is effectively a commercial transaction. 4. The "Trumpification" of Washington: Beyond the money, the article describes an "aesthetic of power," where the President’s personal brand—symbolized by the gold coin shown on the cover—is being merged with the official symbols of the American state as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. The tone of the piece is highly critical, framing these actions not just as ethical lapses, but as a systematic "heist" of democratic norms for private gain.

how are you charging me money for me to print off the ticket at my house?

This afternoon, The Queen received Madame Gisèle Pelicot at Clarence House. Mme Pelicot was awarded the Legion of Honour in 2025, following the incredible courage, grace and dignity with which she waived her right to anonymity in France’s largest rape trial. Mme Pelicot’s courage to speak up on behalf of all victims has won her global admiration, and earlier this month, she published a memoir. The Queen has worked to support survivors of sexual and domestic abuse for many decades, and wrote to Mme Pelicot following the trial in 2024.

Matt Weston has tonight won Great Britain's 13th gold in Winter Olympics history. Here is a list of all 13, going back more than a century. #WinterOlympics

Troops from European countries are arriving in Greenland to defend the territory from us. Let that sink in. And now Trump is setting tariffs on our allies, making you pay more to try to get territory we don’t need. The damage this President is doing to our reputation and our relationships is growing, making us less safe. If something doesn’t change we will be on our own with adversaries and enemies in every direction. Republicans in Congress need to stand up to Trump.

Imagine how quickly the Ukraine war could have been ended if the US Military had supported Ukraine without two hands tied behind its back.

“If you didn’t want your photo digitally altered and turned into sexual content you shouldn’t have posted it online” is the social media version of “if you didn’t want to be raped you shouldn’t have worn a short skirt.” Women are not responsible for the predatory actions of men.
