Just a quick message to all the lady sexbots and OF performers that keep trying to follow me or are sending me DMs. Don’t waste your time loves #ontheotherbus
Love that the journalist Michael Weiss, whose expertise is Russia, calls this moron Witkoff, Dim Philby.
Oh I wish I’d thought of it first

Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

This government is getting out of control. The answer to a stuttering criminal justice system is to properly fund it and institute prison and sentencing reform, not jettison rights we have had since Magna Carta.

Leaves vacuumed and mulched ( thanks to my new toy) and in bin bags for lovely leaf mould next year. Plants cut back and in the compost bin. Frozen but now enjoying a lovely hot coffee. More to do but a good start #gardensky

Spare a thought for that United lad who’s not cutting hair until they win 5 in a row. His cervical vertebrae are going to crumble to dust eventually trying to support all that hair…

I know it’s a thankless task being up front in a 4 4 1 when you’ve playing with 10 men but Barry has been so frustrating to watch as a (semi) neutral. Got to be more cute and canny

Deserved really. Been great even after the sending off. I’d be asking my goalkeeper questions though (maybe seen late as round a defender)

Getting sent off for slapping your own team mate is certainly a choice…

This moment always gets me in the feels. It has its critics but I love ROTJ still. Was the first Star Wars film I saw at the cinema, my mum took 4 year old me to the Odeon in Allerton in my Darth Vader costume with home made black cloak no less. Always enjoy a watch #filmsky #StarWars

Tonight (Sun) at 9.45pm, @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social - 1957 classic Night of the Demon. I did a Halloween round-up of the very best horror films for the BBC this year, and placed this as my all time favourite.

Alan is a bit too arch and OTT if I’m honest. Doesn’t need to ham it up like this. The contestants are a bit much too. All a bit forced so far….
Starting US Traitors tonight on iPlayer. Hope they don’t mess with the concept too much or go too glitzy. Will see, normally love Alan Cumming but he’ll do well to match Claudia #TheTraitorsUS
