Panel One: Dale Gribble driving, looking into the back seat at John Redcorn "Hey, do your people even celebrate Thanksgiving?"

Panel Two: John Redcorn with an angry face: "We did. Once."

Exactly as so many of us warned at the time, and as the government denied at the time.

Farage is a con man who would burn his country to the ground to rule over the ashes!

Police-style mugshots and fingerprinting just to go on holiday around Europe are another major reason why Nigel Farage and Reform UK could never be trusted to run Britain.

'Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong'

No Brexit champion, particularly Nigel Farage, is worthy of high office after proving so conclusively wrong on such a seismic issue, says Mirror Associate Editor Kevin Maguire

Love the human reference in the article. Well done Iceland.

'The last time something similar took place before Surtsey’s emergence was the birth of Anak Krakatau, Indonesia, in 1927, but it was quickly contaminated by humans. Icelandic researchers were adamant that this time would be different."

A new island erupted from the sea – can it show us how nature works without human interference?

The volcanic island of Surtsey emerged in the 1960s, and scientists say studying its development offers hope for damaged ecosystems worldwide

Supertramp releases “Goodbye Stranger” 46 years ago today — a song Rick Davies wrote on his childhood piano.

Is it about a one-night stand, inspired by the band’s adventures on the road?

“Yeah, it is. It turned out to be that. I didn’t know what it was when I wrote it.”

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 2d

It'll soon be 10 years since the Brexit ref. So much has changed since then. If Brexit is the cause of our economic problems, as the government now admits, then surely we need to ask ourselves whether we want to carry on down the Brexit road or turn around and head back to the Single Market and EU.
