The government’s grandest plane, an A321 jet, took off from Stansted at 6.05 a.m. this morning. Burnham wasn't on it. It flew 34 minutes to Manchester to collect the PM, then set off for the Commonwealth summit in Antigua. Guido estimates the detour cost around £20,000 of taxpayer cash. Avanti not good enough for him?
Flight tracking data shows the jet landed in Manchester at 6.39 a.m. and left again at 8.06 a.m., heading for a refuelling stop in Newfoundland before the Caribbean. The government eventually publishes what every trip on the plane costs. Starmer’s same-day trip to Paris on in April came to £39,756 at roughly £20,000 a leg. Stansted to Manchester is shorter than Paris, but every additional leg brings its own landing and handling fees. About £18,000-20,000’s worth according to Guido’s fag packet maths…
The whole jaunt, there and back, comes to about 21 hours of flying. Based on Starmer’s £121,239 trip to Yerevan in May and Yvette Cooper’s £148,700 trip to Washington in December, long-haul flying on the plane costs between £9,500 and £12,400 an hour. That puts Burnham's full trip at about £250,000.
Burnham took the same government jet from Glasgow to Manchester in July to open No10 North, despite a choice of trains. When Liz Truss used the same plane to fly to Australia, @AngelaRayner called it a “ridiculous waste of half a million pounds on a private jet trip”. Thoughts on this one, Ange?

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?
Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.
They succeeded.
Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

Plot twist would be UK Gov saying yes, it will to “ring-fenced” for Scotland, then years later when questioned saying that it’s been “weaved though the economy” and “used for day and daily activity”.

What kind of person speeds past cars that have slowed down due to a dog on the road (A70 between Coylton and Ayr just after 7am) smashes into the poor dog so hard part of their blue BMW bumper falls off, and doesn't stop? Someone knows who they are.🤬

My dear Stephen,
How lovely to see you marking the sixtieth. One of the darkest days in our history, etched in the memory of the nation, a community of such strength. All true. And all of it happening to somebody else.
Here is the part your tribute left in the drawer. The tribunal found the Coal Board wholly to blame and said the disaster "could and should have been prevented". The Coal Board then demanded £250,000 from the disaster fund to clear the tip that killed them. The fund, raised by public donation for the families, handed over £150,000.
Your party's government applied the pressure, in secret. George Thomas objected, then folded, and leaned on the trustees until they folded too. The Charity Commission sat on its hands. Nobody was prosecuted.
It took thirty years to give it back. In July 1997 Ron Davies, your party's first Welsh Secretary of that spell, returned the £150,000 without interest and without inflation, and conceded the demand should never have been made.
So yes. Remembering is lovely. Your lot billed the bereaved for clearing the mine's own tip.

Do carry on, pet.

A legally wedded Muslim couple from Bangladesh visited Saudi Arabia for Umrah.
The husband wanted a honeymoon in Nepal but the wife preferred an Umrah in Mecca, which has been a lifetime ambition for her.
During the Umrah, the couple got overwhelmed with joy, hugged each other and shared a kiss.
A Pakistani guy recorded the moment and shared it to the police.
The Islam authorities got hold of the video and had the young couple arrested.
Ordered their beheading.
This couple got beheaded with sword and the executioner shouted Allahu Akbar!
The bodies of the couple have been returned to Bangladesh in body bags.

Dit is een Tesla batterij.
Om het te maken heb je nodig:
12 ton steen voor lithium
5 ton kobalt mineralen
3 ton mineraal voor nikkel
12 ton kopererts
Verplaats 250 ton grond om te verkrijgen:
12 kg lithium
30 pond stuivers
22 kg mangaan
15 pond kobalt
100 kg rammen
200 kg aluminium, staal en plastic.
De Caterpillar 994A gebruikt voor grondverzet verbruikt 1000 liter diesel in 12 uur.
Eindelijk krijg je een “zero uitstoot” auto.
Grootste oplichting in de geschiedenis.

No, this isn't the new Taylor Swift album cover. I've cleaned-up this remarkable colour photo, taken 113 years ago in August 1913, a year before the First World War. It is a portrait of 16-year-old Christina Bevan at Durdle Door in Lulworth, Dorset. It was taken by Lt-Colonel Mervyn O’Gorman using an early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised.
This was one of the first Autochromes I cleaned up for Twitter and I share it again with you because it is such a beautiful image 😍

One of the many highlights from the very silly but very enjoyable "Birmingham Tapestry" the Tories have produced this week.
