Our inverter packed up on the 14th July. We’ve just had it replaced this morning. It’s now overcast and spotting with rain in south UK. The thank you is appreciated, but I’d rather the sun was back, we need it at this time of year to offset winter electricity bills. Hashtagluxuryproblem

I’ve been invited by my Muslim friends to try fasting during Ramadan and have only declined it because I’m too bloody weak to see it through. That a ‘story’ can be made up about this for those who volunteer to partake AND FOR CHARITY is beyond me. Says so much about the snowflake r/w press 🙄

It's incredible what can be ground up and shoved into the moral panic sausage casing at The Telegraph. Non-Muslim police staff raising money for charity by voluntarily fasting in some parkrun-esque project is grounds for extensive quotes from Nick Timothy on scrapping the Public Sector Equality Duty

“Non-Muslim police staff invited to fast during Ramadan West Midlands force says practice helps officers understand significance of religious festival for residents Non-Muslim officers and staff working at West Midlands Police have been invited to fast during Ramadan in an “act of solidarity”, The Telegraph can reveal. The West Midlands Association of Muslim Police has said colleagues can take part in a fast for the day during the religious festival to raise money for charity. West Midlands Police said the practice helped officers understand the “significance of Ramadan” for Muslim residents. But critics of the initiative have raised concerns about how effectively front-line officers are able to carry out their duties while voluntarily abstaining from food and water for extended periods. Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary, said encouraging non-Muslim staff to observe Ramadan was “wholly inappropriate” and urged officials to scrap the Public Sector Equality Duty, which obliges public services to think about equality and diversity in” Excerpt From “Non-Muslim police staff invited to fast during Ramadan” Sabrina Miller The Telegraph

I'm absolutely furious that facts and information like this are allowed on social media while every Reform MP is working so hard to spread misinformation and lies and stir up our gullible supporters who will believe any old bollocks.

The cheapest place to park in Norwich conveniently being a great place to take a picture of your car as you walk away from it. Two quid for the day!

I repeat my comment made on @chadbourn.bsky.social TL yesterday about the racist reposts (which he too had spotted) of his BBC link by supposed 'liberal' accounts. If you see people posting "men of fighting age" or "invasion" by anyone you follow, realise it was a mistake and block them.

Well, they're on their way back to Morocco actually, as they never had any way to reach mainland Spain, let alone the UK, but who needs facts when you're Bobby J the King of Bullshit.

I think deliberate choice of tense here by The New Yorker. Losing implies it’s only beginning, whereas lost is more accurate. And to think that drivers of the GM EV1 absolutely adored their cars. *sighs*

Trump is turning the US into the backward outlier of the global auto industry by doubling down on the internal combustion engine. The irony is that Elon Musk, whose company Tesla was the first to mass-produce electric vehicles, helped him do it. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

We're in a climate crisis, we're also in a sold all the services off and they've received zero investment crisis. Last winter was one of the wettest on record, we should have reservoirs in the South of England and they should still be filled with water: news.sky.com/story/wettes...

The wet weather was "particularly pronounced" in southern and central England during the winter, the Met Office said.

It hasn't rained in parts of Devon for 50 days (I last had rain on 22 June) Southern England has only had 1% of the usual July rainfall The Environment Agency has now decreed a "flash" (sudden onset) drought for much of England

New by me: Homeless families placed in temporary accommodation in London were told they could not use the in-built air conditioning as it had “not been offered as an amenity” for them, leading to two children being hospitalised during recent heatwaves. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
