I heckled Daniel Kitson once at Sheffield City Hall. He said he liked my accent and my timing. πŸ˜‚

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.

So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Is the answer to stop reading the Daily Mail?

Look how Laura Kuenssberg refuses to examine Farage’s own specific history of hatred, despite it being at the core of his offering. In 2026, that’s not only a choice, it’s wilful normalisation.

By awarding that peace prize to Trump - which it did as no more than a cash grab - FIFA created an obligation to speak on politics all the time. Problem of its own making and which it probably didn’t anticipate.

Truly, truly, truly disgusting.

Keep this Trumpist race baiting out of British politics.

Weird that Reform is OK with Irish citizens voting but not commonwealth ones. Wonder what the difference could be?

Why does #Trump always start a war on a Saturday? Is he just sitting on his gold toilet in Mar-a-Lago thinking 'what part of the world can I fuck up this weekend?'

I'm assuming that both Iran and Israel both have the Epstein files and videos so he's fucked either way.

Im no fan of Iran (an awful regime ruling over mainly lovely people) but it is less of a threat to world peace right now than the United States and Israel.
