Why is the England rugby game on bbc1 but the Scotland one on a channel you need to pay for?????????? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Of course it is. ‘Why would I wink at my own daughter, pray?’ is my favourite line.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

So disappointing!

Really not sure about the BBC leading U.K. news with Trump's autism crap. Why?

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

I make no comment on the Kirk shooting apart from to say Phil Lyman who doesn’t care about kids watching their pals getting shot in classrooms can say this: Speaking of the shooting, Lyman says: "3,000 kids basically watched someone shot right in front of them - it was really traumatic.

Dana Carvy as Tom Brokaw announcing the death of Donald Trump; the screen behind him shows Trump and a superimposed T-Rex. Below this image a chyron "1946-2025"

"President Trump dead today, eaten by a tyrannosaurus rex while sitting fully nude on a golden toilet."

They should feel free to crack on!

It was brilliant and I bought it on dvd!

🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers.

Not just in fleeing persecution abroad.

Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores.

But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

I’m thoroughly fed up with the heat! The sunshine people have had their turn now. Time for some autumn now. #perimenopause #autumn

Really exciting new archaeology report showing that two people who died in 7th century Kent had West African grandfathers. It’s suggested they’d travelled here as traders and settled thanks to the Byzantine Empire’s trade network that linked North Africa to Britain

Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea!

Another Pride and Prejudice remake on the way and still no Muppets version. When will the world get the Miss Piggy as Mrs. Bennet we deserve

England's Chloe Kelly being interviewed after their Euros win, in front of an advertising hoarding displaying dozens of oblong tiles for different brands.

Not saying my 7yo son has been terminally tech-poisoned, but he's watching the English victory celebrations and has just said, in full seriousness, "look how many apps she has".

Update! She LOVED it! Thank you again for this unique perfect gift!

I also love my bookmark. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Some asylum seekers misusing payment cards for gambling More than 6,500 payments in gambling settings were attempted by asylum seekers in the past year.

Of course they bloody are! They get bugger all money and they’re not allowed to work. Of course they’re going to try to improve their cash flow!!!!!! The clutching at pearls over this in the article is laughable!!!!!

I bought this gorgeous print for my friends 50th birthday from @ciaraioch.bsky.social We studied Scottish folklore at uni and I was looking for something that reflected our love of that for her gift. I so love this that it’s bloody hard to give it away. The wee sassy curvy selkie is perfection!

After the Sandie Peggie tribunal I’m looking forward to the Scottish media covering all employment tribunals with such intensity. At last we’ll get in-depth reporting on workers rights, low pay & unfair dismissal

Unless of course there’s some other reason for the obsession. What could it be though?

I loved it Susie. Can’t wait for the next one!

Perimenopause moan number 80,000- my hair! It’s gone weird in texture. Looks rubbish and feels rubbish. Anyone else out there with weird peri hair???? #perimenopause

This reminds me of a visit to Volterra in Italy when we came across a ruined Roman amphitheatre and my husband said ‘look, there’s Roman stuff, you’ll be happy now!’ I was already happy but this stuck on every holiday since!

Utterly insane that the fate of millions, even billions of living people is forever handcuffed to the whims of a handful of belligerent idiots with a God complex playing Jenga with humanity for personal gain during the blink of an eye that they're on this planet. The sheer pointlessness of it all.

To celebrate the publication of my new book, THE ART OF A LIE, I'm doing a giveaway of one of my signed author hardbacks, together with signed paperbacks of my first three novels, BLOOD & SUGAR, DAUGHTERS OF NIGHT, and THE SQUARE OF SEVENS. Follow and retweet to enter. UK only 🍍

A bit of fallen tree near the Golden Cap, Dorset.

Every time I walk past this bit of fallen tree I can't help imagining it scuttling around, crablike, after sundown, and getting up to no good.
