Dog made pin prick in tail that less experienced vet bandaged and bound tightly. As a result a big fraction of his tail died. I’ve now seen a more experienced vet in the same practice who indicates most of tail will need to be amputated. Not a good time for me and dog.

MAGA types depict London as a woke hellscape overrun by machete-wielding youths. The left imagine it is immiserated by fat cats who ate all the caviar. Both these visions are wrong
Haters on the right and left are wrong about London
It’s a hub, not a hellhole. Labour should give it more love

In 2026 the world will wake up to the fact that humanity has hit peak wine consumption. Why is the glass half-empty?
The world has hit “peak wine”
Consumption of wine is in secular decline, thanks to demographic and cultural shifts. But it is not all sour grapes: expect premium wines to fare better in 2026
