Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee . Cat tax to follow. I have a very sinking feeling about today.

Lovely weather here in sunny London though. ☀️☀️

FlamingoFloss · 12/05/2026 08:29

Thanks for the thread. Let’s see what transpires today

LizzieW1969 · 12/05/2026 08:31

Kicking off the ‘cat tax’ on this thread. 😀

As always many thanks for the new thread. Definitely got a bad feeling about today. Needless to say Sybil doesn't give a damn as long as there is never a lick-e-lix shortage.

Cheers. Tax is some wall art I spotted as a pokestop, on Saturday.

Missed the end of the last thread while typing this: Badenoch is probably still exhausted from her weekend celebration of Tory success. The mental gymnastics, alone, would wear out the fittest of us.

New thread thanks.

@LizzieW1969 It looks like you're owned by the same 2 cats as me! 😂

Extra tax feels appropriate for today

Is that in Polish?

Guardian:

John McDonnell, the Labour leftwinger and shadow chancellor under Jeremy Corbyn, has accused Wes Streeting, the health secretary, of launching a “coup” against Keir Starmer. He posted this on social media this morning.

I called for time for serious discussion, no precipitous coup & fully democratic process if leadership election.Instead Wes Streeting has launched coup for fear of a democratic process & whilst candidates are blocked. Handing leadership to Mandelson’s protege is gift to Reform

Yes. It means what is £5 million between friends.

Cat tax from me. I'm so fed up with politics I don't have enough eye 🙄 to express how I feel. So Fettuccine can do it for me.

A sad tax from me I'm afraid. My horse is being PTS tomorrow. He couldn't shake off strangles and after 3 months the only options left wouldn't be fair on an elderly horse.

No cat tax this time, but some very cute Canadian goslings and their protective parents at a local park.

Oh no @countrygirl99 I’m so sorry. Four legged family are still beloved family and it’s hard to lose them.

I am so sorry. It is the last loving thing we can do for our animal companions, but it is so, so hard 💐. He is beautiful.

Oh, no. I'm sorry, @countrygirl99 -such a handsome chap. 💐

For a change I have cat tax. This bruiser lurks around my DM’s house and is clearly disgusted at his new haircut. He’s usually twice the size.
