12hrs of racking my brain.

12 hrs of ‘Who the hell was it?!’

Finally, mid Newsnight, an epiphany! Tony Mortimer of East17 fame.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social another person who fell in love with books later in life (I’m pretty sure you’ve chatted with him about this?!)

12 flippin hours 🤯 #lbc

‘Your worries disappear!’ East 17's Tony Mortimer on discovering reading – as a 50-year-old

Until lockdown hit the singer – who won an Ivor Novello for songwriting – had never read a full book. Now he has galloped through 70 and is writing his own. He talks about his life-enriching habit

Alan Partridge is back at rock bottom – and it’s the funniest he’s been in years

After stadium tour success, the delusional broadcaster is back where he belongs: self-funding a series about the nation’s mental health. As comedy goes, it couldn’t be more pleasurable

@mrjamesob.bsky.social as many warned about Truss during the Johnson era, don’t say that Trump can’t ’be Trumped’ when you have Vance in the wings. Project 25 is his wet dream after all.

No A.I was used during the creation of this message. Thank you for your attention 😉

‘I’ve never met the guy’

Sounds just like Trump re Mandelson @mrjamesob.bsky.social !

Same playbook.

Release the Russia Report IN FULL.

Farrige gives the impression he doesn’t trust scientists, but was willing to believe a taxi driver in Buckinghamshire, that Sharia Law is coming to Britain.

This guy wants to be PM?! You must be joking!

Nice one @billybragg.bsky.social 👏 #bbcqt

Channel 4 used to have a triangle pop up before ‘Disturbing Content’ appeared. Bring it back for Trump & Farrige!

We need a ‘Dishonest Content’ … for autism & swans!

Scrutiny needs to be increased by the media as we’ve a LOT of nonsense coming our way! #bbcqt 🦢

Rang our GP for a family member, just after 8am.

4 minutes on hold.

Appointment made for 10.30am & the receptionist also offered to book a physio appointment (completely unprompted) for 2 weeks time.

GP was 10/10.

Brilliant all round. Thank you NHS!

Bruce is a propagandist, Morgan is a liar. The poor man telling the truth is allowed 12 seconds to play with it. #bbcqt

Underrated moment on tonight’s Question Time.

Bruce ‘explains’ the reason for Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.

Audience member corrects her. It could so easily have gone unchallenged.

Thanks for the show today @mrjamesob.bsky.social or it may not have resonated quite so loudly in my brain! #bbcqt

Personal enrichment you say? A possible breach of ethics & lobbying rules? By Johnson????

Well knock me down with a ding dang piffle, lying fat mattress shaped feather! #IsThePopeCatholic #DoBearsShitInWoods #KingOfGrift

EXCLUSIVE - Today the Guardian is publishing the Boris Files

A trove of leaked data from the office of Boris Johnson.

It reveals how Johnson is using the relationships forged in the UK’s highest elected office to facilitate his personal enrichment.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

What are the Boris Files and what do they reveal about former PM’s conduct?

Leaked material from Johnson’s private office raises serious questions relating to his time in No 10 and since he resigned

It’s almost ‘that time of the week’ where a certain lying, fat mattress pens his back of a fag packet, £25k’s worth of ‘opinion’ for the Daily Fail.

My bingo card contains Agincourt, Waterloo & Napoleon amongst a load of waffling, word salad bollocks!

Since the pink tie became a Hancock ‘trademark’ I fail to see how anyone in their right mind would still wear one.

Cutting welfare, while the State continues to act like a cash cow, funnelling BILLIONS in subsidies to those with pockets already full …is morally bankrupt.

Fix the root cause. Redesign the structure. End inequality!!

Proud of my MP today. @labourlewis.bsky.social 👏

Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis.bsky.social · Jul 1

In Parliament today I spoke about the truth behind rising welfare costs - and why I cannot support the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill, which does not address these roots causes.

Labour MP explains why welfare costs are really rising (and why he's voting against cuts)
