On a breezy day in early spring, the wind tugs at a row of white sheets and bedding on a washing line set in a garden in front of a large white house

Balm to the mind for my creaking knees! “noise alone is not a reason to stop being active…Movement is essential for joint health. Cartilage relies on regular compression and release to receive nutrients, as it has very limited blood supply.”

A bright red minibus filled with cheerful travellers drives up the hill of a coastal road on a sunny day. The headlamps and the radiator grill give something of the look of a smile to the van
Something cheerful for a chilly November day.

Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer.
FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?

Pre sunrise colours reflected in a still loch.
Another colourful morning.
A man sits quietly in the filtered light of a veranda, cradling a cat in his arms—an image rendered with restraint and tenderness in this large-scale watercolor by Lars Lerin. At Home exemplifies Lerin’s ability to draw intimacy from stillness. His layered washes and softened contours evoke not only the warmth of light on a wooden interior, but the deeper, emotional texture of solitude shared. One of Sweden’s most esteemed contemporary artists, Lerin is widely celebrated for his mastery of watercolor and his meditative, often autobiographical depictions of Northern domesticity and landscape. A prolific author and television figure, his reputation is grounded in the quiet integrity of works like this—where silence, affection, and time itself seem to settle visibly onto paper.
And now for something completely different.. Lars Lerin, Swedish, b. 1954 At Home, 2011 Watercolor on paper 100 × 150 cm
Screenshot of Telegraph headline: (Photo of Farage below) Farage: Make me PM and I'll scrap Starmer's Brexit deal Reform UK leader tells the Telegraph that new EU pact to be unveiled on Monday is a slippery slope to rejoining bloc
It’s so much easier to tear something down than to build something better. Farage will only ever destroy. Because his ideologies don’t work.
They divide, they harm, they cost, they isolate. He doesn’t want a better EU deal.
He *needs* the failure.
His power relies on the anger that creates.

Michael Dusmet: I am fascinated how the vision of President Trump and his destructive chaos struck Pierre Poilievre and his Conservative Party dead in the water: a 20-point poll advantage melted like snow in spring and Mark Carney and the Liberals won the Canadian election. So far the Atlantic Ocean seems to be acting as a magic blanket, insulating the Reform party leader Nigel Farage from a similar desertion, despite his being a populist with an equally tenuous respect for facts and the truth.
It shouldn’t take the “destructive chaos” of Trump for British voters to desert Farage. We’re already living in the Brexit mess he helped make.
But tragically, some prefer prejudice to policy and kid themselves that the Trump-loving grifter is the answer, rather than the problem.
