If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Excellent job Sally.

Bless you for doing this ❤️

Great advert for Wales…

Stewart Lee: How do all these rightwing astroturfers get on the airwaves? Doesn’t anyone Google them first? From Aston Villa to George Abaraonye, every time the culture wars flare up, there’s a ‘concerned citizen’ from a previously unheard-of pressure group popping up. A little scepticism is needed

All part of being a dad, embarrassing your kids though?!

Well it made me laugh!

It’s a brilliant museum. And a shout out for Locomotion also, in Shildon - less well known but still great

The National Railway Museum, York : an appreciation Always well worth a visit, the National Railway Museum’s extensive renovation makes it even more of a great day out

Grass Carp for sale at a local pond supplier. Doesn’t seem the best idea and I was surprised to learn it’s not illegal if GB bred. Just hugely irresponsible, especially down the road from important wetlands. Interesting to see them forming dense masses as they do in infested European waterbodies

It's just patriots (actual patriots) being patriotic.

It would have been a bloody huge surprise if I was one of the surveyors……🤣

Give. Me. Strength

Ok. I mostly drank Margaritas when I lived in the US, where they probably didn’t use Cointreau because it’s, you know, French.

I thought it had triple sec in there? Not that I know what the hell that is.

Large red wine please.

Ooh I love a Margarita (though not with salt). I never have the raw ingredients tho. Years ago my resourceful (and very lovely) friend Sam found this Margarita mix which meant all you needed was the Tequila. Ok it wasn’t perfect but quite acceptable

Photo of Farage being interviewed by Mishal Husain. Because he feels uncomfortable about his position on Putin, he replies to her… ‘Listen love, you’re trying ever so hard….’

Christ alive. If we, as a nation, can’t do better than this nasty, stale-breathed, stale-minded, racist misogynist prick, then what the hell are we doing? Leading in the polls??
FFS. Sort yourself out, UK.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Ok repost everybody!

Liberal Democrats win six seats in Surrey by-elections - BBC News The Lib Dems also won three borough and district council ward by-elections in the county.

If Reform win a seat in a by-election it’s rammed down our throats by BBC as a major headline and report on their main page..

And yet the @libdems.org.uk win 6 seats in Surrey and it’s buried away hush hush 🤫

I only came across it by chance just now ..

Why, why, why do I persist in watching TOTP on a Friday night? No matter what good stuff was in the charts they persist in playing utter shite

Of course we did, for chrissakes. I still remember lots of numbers from back then too.

The Guardian view on Labour targeting nature: the problem isn’t snails, but a broken housing model | Editorial Editorial: Rachel Reeves’s drive to speed up development is beginning to treat wildlife and the environment as expendable. Voters want homes built, but not at any cost

Thank you Guardian more of this please

Oh please, oh please…..!

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

I decided a while back to stop trying to get out of their way - which is when I start to wobble - and to maintain a distance from the kerb. As I believe it says in the Highway Code now. I don’t want to annoy motorists - I am one! - but I don’t want to die either!

The times I’ve come off my bike- and I admit I am not a very confident cyclist- have been when motorists have come too close. Probably not so close as to bother someone more confident, but I am far from being a novice.

Rachel Reeves clears planning blockage amid ‘good relationship’ with developer Exclusive: Chancellor says 20,000 homes were being held up due to ‘some snails that are a protected species or something’
