Good morning ☺️ My favourite garden at the 2026 RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the Bat Conservation Trust's nocturnal garden 🥳 It was a joy to bump into @tomallencomedy who shared that he has bats in his garden! - And he was kind enough to name a couple of them for us 😆 Excellent garden design by Melanie Hick and Tach Pollard's bat sculpture is superb 👏 I had really strong batman-becomes-a-florist vibes whilst there 🦇 🪻and pictured the bat coming to life, wrapping its wings around me and taking off into the sky, so animated it at 1m 23s 😄 A shoutout to one of my favourite artisanal chocolatiers, Annabel's Patisserie. For Easter she had her seasonal Eggly selection, six individual flavoured chocolate eggs, and we decided to pair each flavour with a different garden/display 😋 Bats, flowers, a comedian and chocolate, #RHSChelsea a great day out 🤩

☺️🌹😎

@Wimbledon Fabulous sportsmanship ☺️

@bettindimes I enjoy them and their convenience, but was shocked to see such a price difference. Not only are the same menu items more expensive on the delivery app, but they add more fees, so you're being hit twice.

@implausibleblog Delivery apps are a ripoff and only worth it if you really don’t want to leave the house or take advantage of some of their promos.

Saved £5.47 by ordering directly from a restaurant Than by ordering through a popular delivery app 😱 From now on I'll be checking if the restaurant I order from has their own delivery service before ordering via one of the apps...

@emmysteuer 🤪😁

Unfortunately I’m not young enough to know everything anymore

@JudyMurray @Wimbledon Glorious!

Finals Day cake. @wimbledon

2026: Daniel Hannan criticises Count Binface for saying he'll cut taxes but raise everyone else's 2016: Is like Daniel Hanna saying that Brexit will not take us out of the EU Single Market, then Brexit taking us outside the EU Single Market Today, Daniel Hannan sits an an unelected lawmaking bureaucrat in the House of Lords, another contradiction, as Brexiters wanted to do away with the unelected making our rules and here he is doing just that You can see him bouncing with joy when he was sworn in

Update on X's blue checkmark

@imageplotter @Alamy_Editorial Orange legs seems a bit odd :p

@implausibleblog @Alamy_Editorial Hence the different physical appearance, some have pink legs, others yellow or orange, some much taller and fluffier, others feature bright orange. Lovely to watch.

Shots of the wild pink #flamingos at Zwillbrocker Venn, a wetlands nature reserve on the German-Dutch border. Adults are all ringed to track their annual migration to the Venn, where they bring up their chicks. There were 60+ adults in spring. Large pic set @Alamy_Editorial

According to online translators, "I would like to congratulate the great nation of Iran on the passing of Lindsey Graham, the warmongering, anti-Iranian American senator" "Stay tuned to the news channel for more programmes." I don't know Persian and know online translators aren't the best, but it does seem as if you added a littlee xtra detail that isn't in the news report

Iranian TV on Lindsey Graham: I congratulate the Iranian people on the death U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been sent to hell.

Labour's Miatta Fahnbulleh, "Do you think it's ok to take £5m and not declare it?" Nadhim Zahawi, "Yes, because it's within the rules" It's actually not within the rules because it was a political gift either for his years of campaigning for Brexit, or for security, both of which are political And that's the whole point of the parliamentary investigation which Nigel Farage has tried to scupper by resigning, forcing a by-election, then standing again Of course, Zahawi is no stranger to controversy: 2013: Claimed parliamentary expenses for horse stables: Zahawi claimed around £5,822 for electricity at his riding school stables and a yard manager’s accommodation; he said it was a mistake and repaid money that was incorrectly claimed. 2022–23: HMRC tax affair: Zahawi paid a reported multimillion-pound settlement over tax linked to the sale of YouGov shares; an ethics inquiry later found he breached the Ministerial Code over his handling and declaration of the matter. 2000–2023: Balshore Investments offshore trust: Questions were raised over why his YouGov founder shares were held through a Gibraltar-based family trust and whether the arrangement reduced tax liability 2023: Ministerial Code breach and sacking: Ethics adviser Sir Laurie Magnus found failures to properly disclose and manage the tax dispute, and Rishi Sunak removed Zahawi as Conservative Party chairman

@edballs @andyburnham @DanTurnerTweets @annastansbury @ElsdenEsme Gosh, for someone who has not been a Labour politician for ten years, this is quite the political intervention

The last two years have been a missed opportunity on regional growth: our Harvard-Kings paper sets out why; and what @andyburnham needs to do differently to deliver the growth the UK needs.. @DanTurnerTweets @annastansbury @ElsdenEsme Nyasha Weinberg instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/andy-b…

@Agridi12321 @Barbados Tragically

@implausibleblog @Barbados Braverman is unhinged!

Left: Suelle Braverman says that Britain's former colonies should "pay the British back" Right: Prime Minister of @Barbados Mia Mottley slams the notion, says some British politicians are using this as a distraction to the chaos on UK politics, and she does this responding in the most dignified graceful way 👏 "Certainly the notion that we should pay the United Kingdom for oppressing us, for enslaving us, and for treating us as chattel. " "And that is the difference. Slavery existed before, but this was the first time that human beings were defined as chattel. And I've been very clear all along that the 1661 slave code of Barbados, which predated the Code Noir, which the French have just revealed less than two months ago, all distinguished themselves and all of the slave laws that followed the 1661 slaves Slave port of Barbados. " "By the treatment of human beings as chattel. We are not asking for charity. We're asking to be able to ensure that justice can be done. In 1834, the British Parliament did not need to be persuaded of that fact with respect to the loss of property because we were chattel and the compensation of the slave slave owners of £20 million. " "I would like to advise that those who have not yet read sufficient to understand the history do so before making comments that really do not reflect well on them. " "With respect to the movement, this is a global movement. Now. We just came from Accra in Ghana, and as the United nations passed the resolution that Ghana brought in March of this year. " "We have seen Pope Leo make comments in this year of our Lord. We have seen President Macron recognize that the conversation for reparations, just as His Majesty King Charles, when he was Prince Charles at the opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Rwanda, stated clearly that reparations was a conversation whose time had come. " "I have no doubt that there are British parliamentarians who want to distract people from the domestic politics of the United Kingdom at this point in time. But the Caribbean should not be used as a prop in those circumstances. Thank you. "

@implausibleblog I'm far better off, I was so flush with cash when I went to the supermarket. I actually fulfilled my dream and splashed out for a timeshare on a bag of spuds.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves says that because of what she's done over the past two years, families are better off. Do you feel better off?

Rachel Reeves, "We had the fastest rate of growth in the G7" Boris Johnson, "We had the fastest economic growth in the G7 last year" Schrödinger's economic growth: apparently the same G7 growth statistic proves the Conservatives failed and Labour succeeded 🤷‍♂️

@blonde1_pierre 👏
