Right, where are those Salt Path BASTARDS?

The real Salt Path: how a blockbuster book and film were ... Penniless and homeless, the Winns found fame and fortune with the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. We can reveal that the truth behind it is ve...

A superb piece of journalism in The Observer: it seems like the one of the sacred texts of Nature Writing (TM) is not quite as much of an unflinchingly honest read as claimed

Bob Vylan statement on the fallout from their Glastonbury performance

On point and should put all the monetised right wing shitpilots to shame… sadly they don’t do shame

#FreePalestine

Guess which of these stories came first on both the BBC One and Radio 4 bulletins.

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

Says the man who gave us the biggest tax burden since the War, highest ever national debt, largest fall in living standards on record and committed the biggest act of self-harm in our history with Brexit. Time to shut the fuck up you shambling oaf.

He did according to the subtitles. Eww.

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

‘I’m from Glasgow – the swearing came naturally!’ The full uncensored history of The Thick of It It was the political satire that gave us omnishambles, pet asbos and the terrifying Malcolm Tucker. Two decades on, creator Armando Iannucci and stars including Peter Capaldi and Rebecca Front lift th...

I was quite happy for Hughes and Sarr then saw Roy which soured it a bit

Starmer has called these "return hubs". But if they're for people who can be returned, why use a hub? If they're for people who can't be returned to their own country, they're not return hubs, it's the UK sending people to a country they have no connection with for an indefinite period of time.

The band Pale Blue Eyes on stage at Islington Assembly Hall on Thursday night.

Here’s a picture of Pale Blue Eyes from Thursday night. They were also fantastic.

"Hordes of cowards caved into the fantasy a few brave women did not" Hmm.
Alternative take most women are not interested in what's in someone else's pants, have no desire to camp outside toilet doors and harass women who are just trying to have a wee and are happy to live and let live.

Throw all your apples away because Dr Feelgood is here.

Ahaha, well remembered! At the Astoria I think, my memory is shocking though.

Loved listening to that at lunchtime David, both the chat with Lauren and your music choices. Also rather enjoyed the book which Vic got for me, even though I consider myself a casual fan (we do exist!)

David Squires on … Squad Game, the brutal drama featuring Watford FC Our cartoonist on the similarities between the hit South Korean drama and the Pozzo family’s elimination of managers

How had I forgotten that Watford manager story from Squires? My favourite is still this one: www.theguardian.com/football/ng-...

Why is everybody watching the inauguration? It's not a civic duty, comrades. Have a beer. Put some music on. Call someone. Don't climb into a hole before it even fucking STARTS. I'm going for some Public Enemy and a huge-arsed Malbec, cheers. x

Larry especially looks like he would rather be anywhere else #totp

Every single @uklabour.bsky.social MP, the UK PM and every single office of state should come off X and join blue sky.

It would send a very powerful message.

My eating habits over the last few days have been like constantly putting your phone onto charge even though it's still at 98% battery life.

Oh, The Thick of It's back on iPlayer - where it belongs, back home - and it's there for over a year. Very fucking gratifying, merry Christmas.

Obviously we all know it happens, and why, but sometimes the audacity of a celeb using a ghostwriter - for FICTION - still amazes me. Imagine saying 'yeah I want to write a book, but I don't fancy doing the bit where I sit down, think of words, and write them out until the book is finished.'

Charli XCX’s victory lap A recent London show proved Brat is the album of the year, and she is the artist of the moment. Am I too old to join in?

I wrote about Brat, and being in your early 30s. "I was 32 when “Missing” came out..And it is similarly fixated on that transitional life moment – a dance-floor anthem about longing for a childhood friend, while also feeling angst about being unable to “move on”. www.newstatesman.com/culture/musi...

Thank you London that was truly magical, our favorite show in the capital so far. See you again soon xx

The great cultural slowdown Warning: this post may be a sign of encroaching middle age.

"You’re never going to mistake 1975 for 1958 or 1992; in those culturally busiest decades, indeed, things move even faster, you’re not going to mistake 1964 for 1968 either. But what is it that distinguishes, say, 2004 from 2019?"
