It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did. But if your mate put you there? That's fine. Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important. #Shakespeare #ianmckellen #stevencolbert

Notícias terríveis em Lisboa esta noite com a queda do elevador da Glória. Pensamentos com os mortos e feridos 😔😔

Here's the problem. People think council tax pays for bins. What they don't realise is that council tax is - absurdly - how we pay for care in this country. Your council tax is going on the rising cost of adult social care as more people live longer & need more care. Not bins.

@GWRHelp Thank you for response. Am sat on a train at Bristol TM, just wondered if ambulance had arrived yet to help the passenger

@smalltent Hi there Kirsty, thank you for messaging us. This is due to a passenger unfortunately being taken ill on a train. As a result, the train needs to wait until emergency services can attend the scene. Are you travelling today? - Noah

@GWRHelp Hi, have you got any update on what is happening at Yatton station? All the down line is blocked

@mariadsanches 🤗🤗🤗 thank god!!!!

The power and phone signal is finally back in Portugal. What an awful day! 😐

On April 25, 1974, Portugal’s dictatorship ended in what's known as the Carnation Revolution. Today in Lisbon, we remember the uprising that restored democracy — with red carnations and songs of freedom. 🌹💪 #VisitLisboa visitlisboa.com 📍 Lisboa 📷 @tintimruivo

The amount of viral nonsense that is posted as news on this app, often amplified by Elon Musk, is mind-boggling. Adolescence is not based on the Southport attack or a single case. It was already in production and being filmed before Southport happened.

Pretty disturbed by some of the framing being widely used on the Trump talks. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an illegal unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Some of the best performances from the legendary Live Aid concert in 1985. A thread 🧵 1. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Queen & George Michael performing "Somebody to Love" at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (1992) 33 years later and George's performance hasn't lost any of its magic. Miss Freddie, miss George… both outstanding artists.

I strongly recommend sharing this as widely as possible to counter some of the lies and hate being stirred up by Musk, Farage, Jenrick and Badenoch. And this was while the Tory govt was doing as little as possible to respond to the 2022 report?

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

On February 26 the England cricket team will play Afghanistan. WHY? Are England men happy to validate a regime which denies women all human rights from education to simply walking in a park? Now the Taliban are cracking down even on women going online. Boycott the ICC.

In a few weeks time the Afghanistan MEN’S cricket team will play in ICC’s world championships, while Afghan women and girls are denied their most basic human rights. There must be a sporting boycott to help end this sex apartheid. Me ✍️ in The Scotsman scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

@mariadsanches Looks amazing!

The beautiful Peles castle in Sinaia (Romania).

Breathtaking. The first images of the restored interior of Notre Dame cathedral It took just five years, as Macron promised it would
