A selection of artworks are to go on show in Bradford next year to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the government's private collection. At least it's not the government's collection of privates.

Animal rescuers in Washington state have rescued a cat after it spent five days stranded in a tree. This is not to be confused with Washington DC, where it's the Presidents that are out of their tree.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer will make a major speech on what he calls a "plan for change" for Britain. The economy might be bad, but I don't think spare coins are the solution.

France's Prime Minister Michel Barnier tendered his resignation today, hours after being ousted in a no-confidence vote. Imagine how bad a job he must be doing to elicit more than a shrug. #BTNNB #BTNRejects

A butchers in Lancashire has secured the Argyll Golden Haggis Award for 2024/25 after a member of the team undertook a more than five-hour trek, braving Storm Bert, to ensure the haggis reached the judges on time. That must have taken a lot of pluck. #BTNNB #BTNRejects
