NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

Two fun days at the North Cornwall Book Festival doing events to kids in a beautiful tent! Now in Bath (not in a bath) for an event tomorrow! Busy times 😁

This is awesome! Congratulations!!

Image shows Keir Starmer, David Lammy and Yvette Cooper with the words: don't be genocide deniers.

BREAKING: A UN inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

All eyes are now on the UK Government who must stop indulging in genocide denial.

It must fulfil its legal and moral responsibility by taking immediate, decisive steps to prevent and punish genocide.

Have fun!

Surely there's a difference between stress and pressure? Pressure is placed on you (such as needing to finish slides by a particular time). Stress is your own response. People with ADHD need pressure/deadlines or they won't get anything done. Autistic ppl need structure, which pressure often creates

YouTube video by Taskmaster Series 1, Episode 1 - 'Melon buffet.' | Full Episode | Taskmaster

For anyone who needs respite from the news, I highly recommend Taskmaster, an extremely silly long-running UK show in which five comedians compete at absurd tasks. Low-stress, high-pleasure, lots of laughs, utterly disconnected from reality. As your doctor, I hereby prescribe one episode minimum.

Tried it. Couldn't get past the first twenty minutes. Dreadful.

No, just plunge in. I mean, you'll be wondering "who?" But none of their back stories impact the plot. I LOVE the film and I can't even remember where two of the characters came from. Doesn't matter. Sit back and enjoy, it's fab.

Cuppa tea.

Same. And as recently as July this year (I left Twitter 2 years ago). Inciting a pile-on of hatred. Thankfully it didn't spill onto other platforms - maybe his supporters thought that was too much effort (or maybe they're all bots?)

Or even the cis women allies he also hates...(I left Twitter two years ago. Just found this from July this year.)

Judge SPARKLE?? this is the most awesome name ever.

This whole thread so clearly explains ONE aspect of why being trans is so hard at the moment. "Tell me what rights they don't have" - HERE YOU GO.

Oh, I'm sorry, that sucks.

They should just have said "we're recruiting experienced writers for Father Brown; here's how to apply to our training course". They've pitched this as "following on" from their previous opportunity when it's clearly nothing like 😞

I'm in the UK.

Sorry. You didn't mention seeing a doctor, just pain for two weeks. I hope it improves soon.

Time to consult a doctor?

Yes!! Plus I can CROSS THINGS OFF which is high on my list of Most Pleasurable Activities.

For the past 3 weeks I've become obsessed with batch cooking. Now I do my Sainsburys order online by making a massive list of individual ingredients on paper. It's removed a lot of the weight of "argh what shall we have for dinner?" And I think is working out cheaper too...?

Tell them your name is Hillary Clinton.

My inner musical nerd loves these!

These are fab, thanks so much for sharing!

It looks like these are challenged not banned books? The book about the Bill of rights is still on the shelves according to this spreadsheet.

😯🤮

Goodness me. What an extraordinary lack of awareness.
