I'm delighted to hear that BP doubled their profits, making £4.2bn in just 3 months. Not that I have any vested interest in it, other than the £50,000 given to us by the wife of former senior BP executive James Hay.
Visited my niece in CH Perigueux this arvo, she's in remarkably good spirits. The physio was with her when we arrived & spoke perfect English. The nurse explained they just need an email address & a dossier number from their travel insurance & they will organise everything for her repatriation. WOW.
I see the 4 big UK banks made a profit in 6 months of almost £30bn. 8 oil companies almost £70bn in just 3 months. It’s not a simple extrapolation but that’s about £320 billion a year for 12 companies. Profit. “Unfunded” VAT cut on electricity £850m. Or 0.25% of those profits. A quarter of 1%
We have released an updated and more accurate version of Operation Fortress.
Mother of all storms last night as the family were driving back from CH Perigueux, trees falling around them. One of our dogs ran off & we shouted frantically till he returned. Max came in drowned but promptly managed to escape again. He's very fluffy this morning. The pool doesn't need a top up!
Course you would, “love”… And Brexit will suddenly be amazing. And climate change will go away. And Trump will give us the bestest trade deal ever. And voters will love you for scrapping their rights, to please your moneyed mates… Now, pipe down and focus on your upcoming fight with a bin.

From today, EU citizens have a legal right to know when they're talking to a bot or looking at a deepfake, backed by fines of up to €15m. Thanks to Brexit, we're missing out on this protection.

once upon a time, we cut off the trolls’ oxygen and they got bored and wandered off. that’s how this place became the so-called “bubble” they hate so much. the end.
Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Well they screwed my niece'sleg back on! No hip replacement, as the hip was good. She'snot allowed any weight on it for 6 weeks. Goodness only knows how we'll get her back to the UK, or how long they'll keep her in. Her OH & 2 sisters currently visiting, so more news later. I'm getting dinner!
Or even better, not remembered at all.
Rod Liddle has died. He blazed a trail from international socialist in Labour to the xenophobic "left conservatism" of zombie Social Democratic Party. He wrote for the Guardian until 2003, then increasingly curled out his stale pale male opinions in RW press. He'll mostly be remembered as a nonce.

It takes us 90 minutes to drive to Limoges, the same length of time as the flight from Stansted!
🔥 If you do one thing this Sunday- please watch this video. It’s a jaw-dropping scandal and the survivors need justice. Video link —> www.instagram.com/reel/Dbh8gO_...
Breakfast has been taken. Just a few jobs before we head to Limoges to collect my lovely girls & OH's. Best I jump in the douche & put a clean frock on!
Max says hi & bon dimanche to all his Bluesky chums!
Ce soir. Waiting for my 3 darling girls tomorrow. My sister, their Mum, died in 1996 aged just 52. I vowed to be there for them & their children always. I love them all so much.
