We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you.

Honestly think anyone considering coming to the US for future international sports events should really consider it carefully. These people do not give due process. They don't care about your ID. They grab you if they don't like the look of you and then there's no telling where you'll end up.

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise. The woods are gone. There’s a road called ‘The Woods’ there instead, containing a load of fucking ghastly overpriced executive houses with identical shiny light grey interiors and pointless giant clocks in their living rooms.

The world goes to hell, 1 psychopath bombs Iran, another levels Gaza & all Kier Starmer can do is jiggle on the sidelines like he needs a wee & get his knickers in a noodle about a rap band. He may be the best of a bad bunch, but boy, is he a disappointment right now

Amol Rajan doesn’t like audiobooks. They’re “lazy”.

It’s hard not to be cross, sometimes.

I don’t like Rajan’s opinion.

How lovely it is to hear @horatioclare.bsky.social pop Nick Robinson back in his box with reasonable, rational, humane explanations about the small boats on #BBCr4today

Robinson really doesn't like having his world view challenged
