Gripped by the Curling but it's a sport crying out for maverick. A Shane Warne, a Dennis Rodman, a Adel Taarabt

Green supporters pretending not to understand why I am annoyed about their misuse of my words and image on their leaflets will now be blocked without warning. I’ve explained it several times at length. Life is too short for this nonsense.

Tax systems are used broadly for two reasons, raise revenue and change behaviour.

Surely people thinking it is acceptable to make quick and easy money off generating hate is where we need a radical behaviour change.

A terribly front loaded album though. First 4 tracks 10/10 then the rest is 7/10.

Ocean Breathes Salty

This song and the whole album has wormed its way back into my brain this week..

Definitely not if theres lyrics

If only someone warned about Peter Mandelson before all this, could have saved a whole host of trouble.

Finally making my permanent home here. Extracted myself from X.

Why are the names of those who sent these emails to Epstein redacted?

British people trying to get Americans to hold anyone, absolutely anyone, accountable for being in the Epstein files.

UPDATE - I have now received a reply from the Greens apologising for the oversight in using my image and quote without consulting me and giving assurance it won't happen again. That's good enough for me, so I won't be taking any further action beyond writing it all up for my Substack

Just a quick note to @greenparty.org.uk and @greenpartyhan.bsky.social - I was not consulted on being quoted on your leaflets and I have not endorsed your campaign (or any campaign in this seat). I think this note, like the bar chart next to it, is misleading and out of context.

Bolton. Crime Down. Arrests Up.

Look who's not turned up to PMQs today, opting for a media appearance instead.

Someone should tell Mr Farage he isn't a media personality, he's elected to represent the people of Clacton IN the House of Commons.

If his previous register of interests are anything to go by it won't be unpaid.

US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military - White House In a statement, the White House told the BBC that Trump had made clear that acquiring Greenland was a

Trump’s acolytes on Air Force One might laugh and smile, but this isn’t a joke.

Greenland does not belong to the USA.

Only Greenlanders can decide their future - nobody else.

🔴 Good to see a Democracy for Sale story raised in Parliament today

@philbrickellmp.bsky.social asked FO minister Stephen Doughty about our reporting that two ex UK ambassadors are paid lobbyists for pro-Russian, genocide-denying Republika Srpska

Government demands Musk's X deals with 'appalling' Grok AI Grok is being used to digitally remove women's clothing - something victims describe as

Pleased to see @lizforleicester.bsky.social calling out Twitter for its Grok tool which is out of control.

Wolfson’s got to go. Not only is this an insurmountable conflict of interest, it also shows contempt for UK efforts to repurpose Abramovich’s assets which were frozen after Putin’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine.

Ex-MPs working for lobbyists use privileged access to parliament A number of former politicians who are now paid to help influence policymakers have visited the parliamentary estate, but deny doing so for lobbying

Former MPs who then go on to work for lobbying firms should be banned from holding a parliamentary pass.

I don't care whether they want a haircut or a "cuppa with old colleagues."

It's not as if I have a pass from any of my old workplaces still.

@spotlightcorruption.org right to call this out.

It's so good! You'll love it 😀

Latest episode of The Chair Company and it keeps getting better. Hilarious but also deeply unsettling TV.

Haha so many like that. Same.

I was hooked on it from the termite infestion very first sketch.

He definitely is for me. ITYSL is probably my all time sketch comedy. I genuinely hurt myself laughing at some of it.

The Chair Company leaning into the unsettling Twin Peaks feel while still being hysterically funny.

If you haven't watched it yet. Best thing on TV for a while.

Steve Reed certainly should be looking at asylum accommodation contracts break clauses.

Private firms awarded Home Office contracts to house asylum seekers & making significant profits in the process are unaccountable, opaque and unwilling to meet elected members.

This urgently needs to change.

Chair Company episode 2 - again pure genius.

Best way to describe it is like a slapstick Twin Peaks. Tim Robinson is one on his own.

Just discovered the Blackpool Bitcoin millionaire story. Absolutely wild.

Living my dream

Imagine if Biden or Bernie said even 1% of the loony stuff Trulp has said.

Only one episode in and already the best thing on TV this year..
