The UK shouldn’t tinker around the edges with joining the EU Single Market or Customs Union, do we want to be a rule-taker or do we want to be at the European top table making the rules. Let’s start on the road to rejoining. Brexit has utterly and completely failed.

New one on me! Two things went to university in Waves and there are a number of phrases that have come back including “whose coat is that jacket” and “now in a minute” - but not that one!

“He is, on his own account, not primarily a parliamentarian but a CEO – a framing that sits awkwardly alongside the role of being an MP elected by the people of Clacton to represent them in Parliament.”

Nigel Farage was asked whether he was ready to accept that Brexit was a failure – with figures of £90 billion lost from the economy and an 8% hit to GDP – Farage said: “No, we’re not living in caves, are we?"

"The Catholic Church of England and Wales said the Bible calls on people to 'welcome the stranger' after Nigel Farage unveiled proposals to suspend the asylum system for five years if he becomes PM"

The idea that it's just a few bad apples in Reform is such bollocks. You get every impression that the whole fucking orchard needs to be condemned.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

The Ravens only came for one short visit today. They must have been busy. This video is of Chips from yesterday. I think it shows his personality well. He is so regal and he is always alert and thinking but he also a bit of a goofball too! I just love him 😁

Completely agree x

Sun-dried tomatoes lose about 90% of their water under the southern Italian sun, which packs in sugar, umami and a surprising antioxidant boost

Spending my evening with some 17th-century wills, which means encountering the archaic word "sperate," as in the opposite of "desperate." (Sperate debts are debts you hope to collect, whereas you have lost hope in desperate debts.)

It is not a tunnel but there is definitely a light at the end of it. The Rochdale Canal at Mytholmroyd in a photograph by Tim Green. The Canal runs for some 33 miles between Sowerby Bridge to Manchester passing through the Upper Calder Valley. CC BY-SA 2.0

This image shows Bridge #10 on the Rochdale Canal, capturing its distinctive stone arch and the circular reflection formed on the water's surface.
