A lovely autumnal drive in the X-Trail over the border into Axminster this morning. The Alan Paine coat has made its seasonal reappearance. Now home for homemade carrot and coriander soup. Pleased to see the Town Council addressing dogs in their native tongue. Very progressive.

They are. There are delights like Axminster Station which has velvet cushions on the seats in the ticket hall and a brilliant cafe too

#OnThisDay 123 years ago the LSWR opened a relative latecomer, the branch from Axminster to Lyme Regis. It faced challenging topography with a gradient of 1 in 40 and the graceful and innovative concrete Cannington Viaduct to cross the River Lim. Jules buff.ly/MrgY2NP

According to the Guardian, George Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother days before her Reform donations. To be fair, lots of adult children move out of their parents’ house but still get them to do their laundry

Funny - didn’t see that job advertised. Guess what they say about Labour is true. It’s not about what you know, just who you know. That revolving door of privilege keeps on a’spinning.

This is beyond horrifying. New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Among them: • 380,000 infants under 5 • 99,000 children over 5 That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel. Israel isn’t “defending itself.” It is wiping out Palestinian life.

A Farce in Four Acts: 1. Trump skipped the WHCD every single year. 2. Except this one. 3. All of a sudden there’s a shooter in the lobby. 4. Trump: “This shooting is a clear example of why we need a new ballroom!” It hardly gets any dumber than this.
