GB News, the channel of “reactionary rage bait”, has filed its latest accounts, showing a £22m loss for 2024/25 (and a £131m total loss since launch)
Yet another demonstration that there’s no shortage of funds on the right of British politics, says Sam Bright

Mandelson remains 'under investigation', but the treatment he's receiving is a stark contrast with the prison without trial for PA activists

Did you know that snails have teeth 😂 I didn't
nails have teeth. Between 1,000 and 12,000 teeth, to be precise. They aren’t like ours, though, so don’t be thinking about snails with ridiculous toothy grins. You’ll find the snail's tiny 'teeth' all over its file-like tongue.
Goodnight, Hookland. Sleep well. And thanks.
Goodnight from Sian Tapper, increasingly irritated that the ghost in her room has nothing better to do than wind her music box at random hours in the night. Goodnight from Andy Bail, suffering as the shrapnel in his leg attempts to align with True Faery North. Goodnight from Hookland.

And now for something completely different (thank god - or dog) 🐶
A bity of a show at Thurso golf club just as the moon was rising.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
This is insane.
Blair is the last person who should be piping up.

This is Mycena rosoflava. A species of agaric mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. It is a wood-inhabiting mushroom native to New Zealand.

An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda
The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.
Russia just crashed a five‑story apartment building onto people’s heads in the middle of the night‼️
The building is simply gone! It was homes, families.

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.
Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

Can someone explain to me why Trump says Ukraine is being unreasonable?
Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
President Catherine Connolly has said that the contribution of family carers, including young carers "too often goes simply ignored or certainly is insufficiently recognised"
"We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it."

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Cork City Ireland now
So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “A country that always defends human rights and international law, like Spain, earns the respect of the entire world, as has happened in recent weeks.”
