One of the very best Sundays.

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

When you a wait ages for a Deliveroo order of afternoon grocery treats - biscuits, crisps, peanuts - and you get the wrong order… microwave dinners, bread, ketchup. That. 😭

Special evening finally seeing Flyte at The Forum tonight (having followed them since 2018's White Roses) - with Jacob Alon, Billie Marten and Bombay Bicycle Club's Jack Steadman as special guests. Superstars in the making. 👏👏👏👏

Third IMAX in a month. So a 3MAX*. This time Corpse Bride, with an intro by Tim Burton. That will do nicely...

Professional victimhood. Choosing to visit places where he knows he is going to face trouble. It's all a grift.

Is it really true though? Has the PM really called any of his opponents evil?
The issue seems to me less the lurch to extremes, rather that centrist politics are now considered extreme left, many extreme right views are now centre/center right.

🚨 NEW: Britain’s most powerful people are still 5x more likely to have been privately educated than the general population.

Our brand-new research reveals that jobs in the media, business, charity, creative and public sectors remain dominated by those from private schools ⤵️🧵

And there we have it. A clear illustration why the left has been out of power for most of the past 100 years. We couldn't organize a... Well, you know the rest.

Likewise. Excellent to be back at the Trades Hall.
And you do, of course, mean this - the mighty Baker tee. Splendid piece of work. @weare1of100.bsky.social

Superb book, great talk by Justin Currie at the 'Stow Trades Hall. First trip back to a Rock & Roll Book Club event for a few months. Great to be back.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

One of the good guys. Very sad.

Ooof.

The Pitt, I'm sure it's a great show and it won all these Emmys last night, but if Sky/Channel 4 can figure out a way to make it legally viewable for Irish and UK audiences that would really be swell

Lovely lovely lovely.

The total number of deaths in the world, all the countries, from any cause, is about 65 million per year.

'My Government Must Quit Twitter and Call Out Elon Musk's Far-Right Hate' Labour MP Noah Law explains why it's time for Keir Starmer to start treating the billionaire X owner as the 'foreign extremist' he now is

A growing number of Labour voices now demanding Keir Starmer start taking on Elon Musk and the far-right.

Here Labour MP Noah Law writes for Byline Times on why it's time for the Government to quit Twitter and start treating Musk as the 'foreign extremist' he now is

Photos of Yaxley Lennon/Robinson and Musk talking on video link and a bloodied protester. …murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. "The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that's who we're dealing with here." He said that the British public were "scared to exercise their [right to] free speech" and claimed the BBC was "com-plicit in the destruction of Britain". When they finished their conversa-tion, Robinson said: "Not only are we in the fight right now, but we're on advance thanks to free speech being fought for, for us, by Elon Musk." By about 4pm riot police, backed by mounted patrols and dog units, were struggling to protect a group of masked antifascists hemmed in at the top of Whitehall. Missiles and flares were thrown by Robinson supporters, with some hitting officers. Many chanted abuse at the police, mocked officers and spat at them. The Met said on X: "Officers are having to intervene in multiple locations to stop Unite the Kingdom protesters trying to access sterile areas, breach police cordons or get to opposing groups. A number of officers have been assaulted." It later added: "The turnout for the Unite the Kingdom protest was too big to fit into Whitehall. Protesters left the route on to Victoria Embankment and sought to access Whitehall from multiple directions ... When officers moved in to stop them, they faced unacceptable violence. They were assaulted with kicks and punches. Bottles, flares and other projectiles were thrown." More than 1,600 officers were deployed to deal with the demonstrations as well as several football fixtures in the capital. At least 500 police had been drafted in from forces outside London, including the Merseyside, Humberside

Musk, Tommy Robinson - fascist Britain. A hellpit of violence and racism. They’re using our flag as their rallying cry. And X as their megaphone.
No more appeasement.
No more ‘legitimate concerns’ horseshit.
It’s beyond time to sanction Musk, regulate X and shut these fuckers down.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The ST is not the only one spinning this narrative and I realise the media want to create some jeopardy, but Starmer isn’t under any kind of pressure. There is simply no likely mechanism to usurp him, given the 400+ majority.

Yay. I think…🤔
