Day 31 of #31DaysofGraves is skull We couldn't resist this little white puffball mushroom who's been nibbled into skull shape (probably by a passing slug). Found by @lukaslarge while doing a Fungi Foray for @FriendsKHandWL last Saturday!
Hand holding a white mushroom which has 2 holes that resemble eyes and strands of mycellium coming from the bottom. The background is Warstone Lane Cemetery in the sun with black bunting

I can't believe @SaatchiArt is trying to sell AI slop like this for £2,000! Don't waste your money on crap like this and if you do people will point and laugh at you for being a sucker – at Birmingham, England

Forget the nonsense about reviewing costs on Phase 1 of HS2, today's real news is that this government has announced in no uncertain terms that it will not be progressing with Phase 2 to Crewe, Manchester or Leeds. Craven. Short-sighted. Hugely damaging.
The government has been clear it is not resurrecting Phase 2 of HS2, which was cancelled under the previous administration. The government recognises concerns about connectivity between Birmingham and Manchester, but its primary focus now is the safe delivery of HS2 between Birmingham and London at the lowest reasonable cost, and the Secretary of State has made this objective clear to HS2 Ltd.
