'I wouldn't touch a Jewish woman': Meet the Reform team in Gorton and Denton Members of Reform's campaign team shared racist content online and aligned themselves with far-right groups

They seem nice. 🤮 manchestermill.co.uk/goodwins-gan...

Nice. 🙂

Not into football, travel a lot, easiest to say I'm from Manchester, once was. Always asked City or United? Neither, I answer.

My question back? Oasis or Stone Roses? Correct answer is always the latter because Oasis are bellends who made toxic masculinity a life goal. I'd vote Spencer. 💚

Watching the sun set with a beer.

Can't remember the last time we had a sunset, rather than a grey smear.

Daresay we've nearly made it.

Less risk of following through if you trump sitting down.

The fate of the 2,787 people arrested for terrorism offences for peacefully holding signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” in silent vigils will be decided this Friday.

The long-awaited Judicial Review ruling will be read out at 10am in the Royal Courts of Justice.

Has been, and will continue to be, unbelievable.

I enjoy it when they fall upon their swords and, occasionally, the daggers of others but I cannot fucking abide the term "it's been the honour of my life".

Utter pish.

Yorkshire water situation: December 2025 summary

'Steep groundwater level increase at Wetwang'.

This incessant rain is tedious AF but for those of us old enough to remember August 2025 this degree of #Yorkshire reservoir and groundwater recharge should perhaps bring a hint of cheer.

Breathe through it, the Grey Havens are nearly in sight.

One imagines that the ones who aren't get whittled out fairly quickly.

Godspeed. Your glutes really feel that last extended hour of Return of the King.

None of us deserve to live in a world where Rentoul is paid to share his opinions.

Love how the #Curling makes me feel.

Like a polar bear full of barbiturates.

Mega.

Seems the jury disagreed with the police's allegations, the ones echoed by the Home Secretary to protect the UK MoD's relationship with Elbit Systems.

What a rotten abuse of the power of the state.

Palestine Action activists cleared of aggravated burglary at Israeli defence firm site None of the six activists were convicted of any offence over break-in at Elbit Systems factory near Bristol in 2024

Does this jury's apparent support for #PalestineAction make them terrorists as well? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I mean, it would just be perfect bsky.app/profile/thie...

My superpower? Finding out about gigs after they've sold out.

#ReformUK thought to be in talks with #PeterMandelson as it continues to focus on the popularity, name recognition and experience of its frontbench.

The wee birds were affy noisy today, which was nice.

Felt springy.

Next time can we have a short quiz on the ballot paper with your vote only counting if you can demonstrate a basic grasp of the issue at hand?

🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford
👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from

And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article

‘It’s ridiculous’: publicans bemused by rise of single-file queues to get served Bar owners say they struggle to dissuade people from forming a line as behavioural experts point to post-pandemic ‘new norms’

Even as a 6ft person of inexplicable invisibility while waiting to be served at bars, I fully endorse the campaign to ban queuing in pubs www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Frustrating news for all those who won't be visiting the US for the next three years.

Make.
More.
Cheese.

This year I'm going to really lean into conversations about the weather in different places while waiting for the last people to turn up on Zoom calls.

It's going to be quite the year.

Ah, a bowl of pimped porridge, yours for just ten pounds. 😥

Copenhagen is utterly, absurdly, cripplingly expensive.

Lovely mind but brutal.

From 2000-2020, 15 of the top 20 worldwide top-grossing films have been about:

1) Fighting the return of an overwhelming evil thought dead,
2) Fighting an enemy that takes over via deceit and gaslighting,
3) Fighting against impossible odds because your conscience gives you no choice,
4) or a mix.
