“We are freeing up our forests so we are allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money,” Trump has said. “We have massive forests. We just aren’t allowed to use them because of the environmental lunatics who stopped us.” theguardian.com/us-news/2025/o…

Austrian MEP Anna Stürgkh, said:. "A beef tomato doesn’t contain any beef … Ladies’ fingers are not made of actual ladies’ fingers. Let’s trust consumers and stop this hotdog populism.” theguardian.com/world/2025/oct…

A rather stately Greggs in Glasgow.

As a fan of Edward Hopper I couldn’t help but take this photo in Greenwich tonight.

While fans of old red sandstone and limestone battled it out in Victorian and Edwardian Glasgow, Dundee architects quietly got on with a nice bit of cornering.

“So long as UK Labour governs without a clear vision, detached from its moral purpose and democratic socialist foundations, losses like this will only become more frequent.” says Burnham -backed 'Mainstream' MPs theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

John Tunnard.

"Starmer promised change and delivered continuity. Caerphilly looks like a reckoning." Instead of using his vision he's looking inwards, heading Labour towards the rocks next May and seems ready to go down in his sinking ship (the crew will be long gone). theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"Starmer was a keen musician in his childhood, playing flute, piano, recorder and violin, and won a Guildhall School of Music and Drama scholarship. He said he still listened to music every day as a form of escape." Discuss. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
