Starmer: Farage trades in the politics of grievance.

Farage: How dare you tell such an outrageous lie?! I am wounded!! Hear my many, many GRIEVANCES!!!!

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

Try and let go of the worrying, the second guessing, and the doubt.
Trust that life has a way of unfolding, not always as you imagined, but often exactly as it’s meant to.

Whenever Nigel Farage is properly challenged, he reminds me of those 1920s burlesque entertainers, whose act consisted of swapping the position of fans or balloons, really fast so nobody could catch a glimpse of their fanny.

Remember the moral panic around the gypsy and traveller communities for several years? The front pages. The hysteria. The voyeuristic reports. The protests outside their settlements. The "legitimate concerns" by locals.

Weren't they expressed in precisely the same terms as anti-refugee bigotry now?

Being pro paying the Taliban to commit rape and murder should result in the swiftest exit from professional politics in British history. Just need a news media that reacts to blatant obscenity the way they react to a Labour politician being a woman and working class.

People of the Bluesky, things are a bit quiet on the work front. If you need a writer I’m available. I’ve worked for TV, radio, print, advertising - all the medias. If you need help with a corporate Christmas speech, I can add the Lolz mathew-owen.co.uk RT or whatever it is over here, please, cheers

How do you know you're following the right me?

I'm the bloke who's been making shouty mouth noises at big sports events for >25 years.

I like a hazy pale ale. A chicken tikka dhansak (and garlic naan). And I like nice people.

If that's the one you were after, it's me. Hi. Nice to see you here.

Today and the next 4 years are going to be hard but we are with you 💪🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Sometimes, the only way across is through, the night is darkest just before the dawn and just living is a form of defiance. We’ve had setbacks and back slides before, let’s looks after our #TransFamily ❤️

This world map is centered on Argentina. I’m told that Uruguayans claim that’s how Argentinians view the world. 😉 Source for the claim is the only Uruguayan that I know and the source for the map is here: buff.ly/3sSq01O

Thank you Jim! Happy New Year to you and yours!!

I always forget how dark the "Mull Of Kintyre" video gets.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy the pub! And you might want to tell the next table that Christine McVie wasn’t on cocaine when she write Songbird - it came to her one night when she was asleep.
Although apparently she was on the stuff when she wrote all her other songs on Rumours…
