Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
How about a silly card
The features the word twat?

And if that doesn’t
float your boat
There’s jaws and Luke and shit
I know it’s early to flog cards
But I’m just that kind of tit...

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

In today's Budget, the Chancellor spoke about building the economy “brick by brick” but left out the very foundation that underpins it all: nature.

The same Government that promised to restore our natural world appears instead to have wiped it from their agenda.

Guy I went to school with is now MP for where we grew up. Can't take him seriously when I see him on the news because I remember the time he tried to eat five raw onions for a bet and threw up in a saucepan.

"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

Contrary to what Tories and Reform claim, literally no one is arguing that Reeves wouldn't receive criticism if she were a man. But many of us argue that, because she's a woman, the criticism and coverage that Reeves does receive is often laced with misogynistic language and narratives.

The antisemitism allegations against Farage should alarm the entire British electorate - but most of all Jews.

British Jews should reject Farage's phony support. We should not permit the far-right to exploit us as pawns to attack fellow ethnic and religious minorities.

Good to discuss on i24 News.

The mental health benefits of being in nature are widely known, but did you know art and heritage can offer similar restorative effects?

Tremendous work from @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social

If you're not up to speed on the Andrew Milne story, a scandal on multiple levels, read this. Then share it with someone else. It's a shocker, and we have the Tribune to thank for making it public
