It’s a minor thing but why the fuck has the BBC just referred to Mar a Largo as ‘The Winter White House’?

Pack that shit in right now.

Girl bands Forever did the impossible by making me quite like Kerry Katona. It also reignited my decades long crush on Melanie Blatt.

I’d like to thank @chrismcfeely.bsky.social for keeping my daughter entertained while we wait for our flight home from our holidays. If you have random views from a Greek island this week. That’s her.

My Dad is working class from a working class town where he’s lived all his life. Some immigrants moved over road from him and you know what he did?

He went and said hello, asked them about themselves and told them where the local shops are.

He’s nearly 80 and I wish more people were like him.

Elon, speaking at the Tommy Robinson march today: “This is a government against the people and not for the people, this is why everyone is gathered here today…we don’t have another four years…there’s got to be a dissolution of parliament”

And the government just…continues to use X.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Andy Burnham has done a lot of good in his career but talking about the importance of the party working together is a bit bloody rich coming from him.

Genuinely a bit gutted about Angela Rayner. A good person, someone to be admired who gets held to a higher standard than the plethora of right wing bastards the Daily Mail loves.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.

These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

It’s fine. I’m used to my team putting in a disappointing performance, I’m a Manchester United supporter.

I don’t want to hear a damn word from the usual suspects about Diane Abbott.

Yes she was a trailblazer, she’s now a liability and if she’s daft enough to say the same thing that got her in trouble in the first place then that’s on her.

What’s the odds on “a major social network has an antisemitic AI built into it” being raised by lobby with PM’s spokesperson today? A special DCMS committee? Ofcom launching an emergency investigation? Seems it’s so hard to comprehend that people will just focus on more manageable screaming at BBC.
It would be nice to, among other things, get an answer from the UK government about why they still feel comfortable using this as one of their primary communication channels

I don’t know what’s wrong with people who still use X. You’re getting your breaking news and sports chat from a Nazi site. Draw a line

I genuinely don’t get this ‘no one knows who Keir Starmer is’ argument that is bandied about. He’s done interviews, there’s been a biography and an insider look at the party under his leadership.

I’m sorry that everything can’t be spoon fed in TikTok videos and memes but seriously!

Keir Starmer is actually quite funny and this is a hill I will die on.

Hey @sixotf.bsky.social my 9 year old daughter just informed me her new favourite Transformer was Emirate Xaaron.

Now that’s a fan.

From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."
Peroration from Robert Jenrick’s speech at the Roger Scruton conference today:

“In the words of George Orwell, ‘nothing ever stands still. We must add to our heritage, or lose it. We must grow greater or grow less. We must go forward or backward.’ I say, let’s go forward.”

That interview with Reza Pahlavi on Kuenssberg was just fucking weird.

He’s either delusional or he’s working with Israel.
