If divorced dads whose kids don't see them could go back to dressing up in superhero outfits and climbing up buildings instead of ushering in fascism I think we'd all be better off quite frankly.

Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

I've watched every season of #strangerthings and just started season 5. I haven't got a clue what's going on. Looks pretty though.

Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

#traindreams is a very humane film. Catches something like the essential lowkey nature of our mortality and how we're all just passing through. Left me in bits.

In trying to woo Le Pen’s voters, Les Républicains risk destroying France’s Gaullist legacy and putting Paris on a collision course with the EU, says Paul Taylor of the European Policy Centre

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.
The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.
We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.
Reject the hate. Reject them.
This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Just watched the new #runningman. It's fun but feels a bit empty. Weirdly I felt more emotionally engaged with Arnie romping about however much the new one piles on 'sick babies' 'slandered wife' etc etc.

Can someone explain to #shabanamahmood there's nothing ILLEGAL about applying for asylum. If you don't like the boats put an application centre in France.

Parents - if your young teenage son suddenly for the first time ever wants to wash his own bedsheets, let him. Don't ask him why. Don't worry about him doing it wrong. Just get out of the way and let him.

New hip insult you'll be hearing everywhere soon:
"Was this made by Al?"
Especially effective when mentioned while watching a film (especially a big budget one) or listening to the new release of a song (preferably by a big pop star).
