Dreadfully disappointing news.
Wishing Tomos a speedy recovery! ❤️🦁 #Lions2025

Great point from @Conservatives @Simon4NDorset: “I find it odd the last Labour government spent 700 hours discussing the death of a fox, and 90 discussing the death of humans”. Good spot by @nmdacosta

My human helper is eager to watch David Attenborough’s film Ocean #OceanFilm. Apparently, we’re not looking after it well, and I'm now concerned about how fish in my food is caught! I think everyone should watch it and learn more about my wildlife friends. #WorldOceanDay

A very enlightening and entertaining read. And 👏👏 to @CRichardsonTel for being so honest about how hard he found the commentator's job in order to make his point to his readers.
A somewhat left-field assignment for me at Bristol on Saturday. And I can confirm, if you weren’t already a believer, that commentary really is quite tricky. But, that said, it is mighty enjoyable. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…

I watched this happen on the morning of 4 June 1989 in Chang’an Avenue, near Tiananmen Square, the morning after the night’s massacre. Don’t believe the propaganda lie that no massacre took place: I saw 40 people killed in front of me before giving up counting in despair.
