Stories about werewolves pole-vaulting over stairs in Southampton houses really stuck with my impressionable brain reading about it in a paranormal book nearly 20 years ago, as they should do.

I've just learnt (thanks to Elias Daniel) about this June 2024 case from Norway of a White-tailed eagle trying to kill (unsuccessfully) a Harbour porpoise vg.no/stories/297834 Eagles vs cetaceans, wow!! #animals #eagles #whales #marinemammals

I’ve seen better

The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.

Lib Dems Ed Davey has taken a stronger line than the PM:
