It may be that the clocks go back tonight and that the wind’s howling and the rain’s horizontal but at least the last of the summer roses are GLORIOUS.

#Caturday and Morris has the best idea to stay warm & dry, in bed, in the feeding room. On days like today the best place. Stay safe everyone & don't forget about your 'clocks' tonight. #inthecompanyofcats #shelterlife #happycats #catrescue

.@AliMirajUK @LBC When it comes to the demeaning of the Royal Family that ship sailed once King Charles accepted the invitation to make a state visit to the US. a country led by a rapist, an imposter and a drunk, where ICE have left migrants terrified and murdered protestors.

I hope no one abroad is basing a decision to live in Greenford or anywhere else in the UK on what they've read on my blog...

If you were on a train towards Bromley South this morning and left your AirPod case on board, I handed it into Shortlands station. I spotted it when I got on at Kent House at 0747. The initials KEB are on the front ⬇️

We've got a w/up radio, a lamp, a power bank, batteries, candles and matches (I know - fire hazard but we're not 6 year olds) and an extra bale of toilet paper. We found the spare duvets and have 2 bivvy bags. Wet wipes, bin bags and disposable gloves if things get really messy.
The government has published new advice on being ready for emergencies, including stockpiling enough food and water to last three days. Sky correspondent @ShingiMararike asked members of the public if they are stockpiling ⬇️ Read more: trib.al/GBnLYng

If you enjoy my new book, 'Napoleon & His Marshals', please can you do me the great favour of saying so in a review on Amazon, as it helps tremendously with book sales to have 5 star reviews. Very many thanks #Napoleon

The national resilience moment that very nearly barely happened: A huge amount of work has gone on behind the scenes to plan for the "Be Ready" rollout, which was first trailed during the dying days of Sir Keir Starmer's government. Andy Burnham inherited the project as well as leadership of the much-promised but minimally-delivered national conversation on defence. Yet he appears to have chosen not to speak out on the launch of the new readiness campaign despite its national significance. Even Dan Jarvis, the security minister, who is leading on resilience, stayed away from journalists on Thursday, instead just publishing his ministerial statement and sending out a written post on social media. This lacklustre approach was met privately with disappointment among members of the resilience community. The concern - rightly or wrongly - is that it creates the impression that preparing the country (every post code!) for the possibility of any crisis, up to and including war, is not a top priority for the government. news.sky.com/story/be-ready-…

Yesterday, a U.S. Air Force T-6A Texan II crashed near Seguin, Texas. Both pilots successfully ejected using the Martin-Baker US16LA Ejection Seat. #EngineeringForLife

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite." "Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years. So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable. People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble? He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people! When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction. He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!" - George Clooney actor, philanthropist, humanitarian & activist
