@elonmusk That's hilarious.

Civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when.

@nickfshort I love the IWM, it's a fabulous institution (not so sure about IWM North), but I tried doing business with it some years ago and it was like trying to wade through treacle. Tbf, that was true of many public sector bodies - unfortunately.

I still can't believe this crazy decision.

Volunteer RNLI crews from Skegness, Bridlington, Mablethorpe and Cleethorpe along with Coastguard currently responding to a major incident in the North Sea. Remember that when politicians tell you not to donate to them😡 #NotAllHeroesWearCapes 🦸‍♂️

This British Science Week, we're shining a spotlight on a true engineering marvel - the Newcomen Beam Engine! Built in 1795 by Thomas Newcomen, this incredible machine is the oldest working steam engine in the world.

Canada, we bloody love your low-effort genius. Very, er, English, if I may say so.

🌏 From Kenya to Kiribati, Canada to Cameroon: wishing everyone from the 56 nations of the Commonwealth a very happy Commonwealth Day today! The day will be marked with a service at Westminster Abbey, the launch of The King’s Baton Relay and the countdown to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games and the presentation of the inaugural Commonwealth Peace Prize.

I have always loved the illustrations from the National Portrait Gallery at Charing Cross tube station!

@InfoAgeStrategy Point taken - but to be fair you do omit the decisive part the Soviet Union, notwithstanding being an odious regime, played in the defeat of Nazi Germany. It was a long time ago, though; and Putin should not be allowed to win.

I tied these ribbons to the railings today outside what was HMP Holloway. There is no other sign at the site to remind people that a thousand suffragettes were imprisoned here and some were tortured. #InternationalWomensDay

Fact of the Day: The famous B17 "Enola Gay" has been renamed to fit in with DEI guidelines. "Enola LGBTQ+" was the first fighter jet to drop a 8008.5 kiloton semi-nuclear bomb on Bradford (Lancashire) during WW1 on the 31st Feb 1926 Photographed from a Canberra

@ewarren @LloydDoggettTX @GregCasar Other points of view must be respected, but Trump, Vance & Co are dangerous, worrying, people. They are right that Europe should pay more for its defence. But they are turning allies into adversaries.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his co-president Donald Trump think this country should work for billionaires and everyone else should just bow down. I joined @LloydDoggettTX, @GregCasar, and over 3,000 people in Austin, Texas to deliver a message: We are not bowing down!

@elemntor Just getting started with Elementor Pro and trying to submit a support ticket is an absolute pain! I've tried several times - you don't make it easy, do you??

@DrNeilStone Who's Donald Trump?

Donald Trump said no one has heard of Lesotho. Who here had heard of Lesotho 🇱🇸 ? ✋
