So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

When the Epstein emails were released Trump was the person mentioned most often. He was mentioned about 1,600 in 23,000 emails. The heavily redacted files released today (about 1% of the full files) barely mention Trump at all. This is a huge illegal cover up. IMPEACH!

I was struck by this motto on a firehouse in London two years back. Today we saw Ahmed al Ahmed show this can of love to his fellow man. Trying to find any little bit of light this first night of Hanukkah, and he, thankfully, has brought some.

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet.

If you're looking for another way to divest from Amazon and instead support your local community, hi, nice to meet you 👋

When you buy audiobooks through us, a portion goes to your independent bookstore. It's an easy way to shop small all year long.

Someone tag the Labour party: ““This was a cynical strategic manoeuvre to avoid losing voters to the far right, but it seems, based on polling, that all they have done is prime their own voters to join the far right rather than stay with the Social Democrats.””

The Venn overlap of people who insist Hallowe'en isn't British and people who insist 'soccer' isn't British is probably close to a circle. They're all wrong.

For a kid in 70s Wales, it was huge. Carving turnip lanterns (no pumpkins available), apple bobbing etc. And we didn't learn it from America.

Some graffiti has appeared on the Reform UK office in Caerphilly.

Following a by election last week which Reform lost someone has written “now you can fuck off home”.
Reform had made immigration a key issue in by election.

Plaid have won a massive victory in the Caerphilly by-election beating Reform comfortably.

The Labour vote has totally collapsed.

It seems that in Caerphilly more people feared those who oppose immigration than the immigrants themselves.

An impressive Plaid victory in Caerphilly. A 27% swing from Lab to Plaid. Welsh Labour's dominance crumbling. The limits of Farage & Reform's appeal underlined. Maybe the Westminster commentariat can now stop talking abt the unstoppable momentum behind Farage. Reform are beatable.
