Dangerously close to a major issue here Landreth. You have my attention.

Quite right - the man's health comes above all other considerations. All hopes for his recovery. As for those comments - afraid I largely choose not to look any more.

This.👇 Anyone else experience their first grin today, following the misery of last week's events?

Very interesting thread raising some alarming questions – something for the weekend, @matthew-wright.bsky.social ?

Precisely why I hope never to live next door to JD Vance.

Developers can cut the "affordable" % up to last minute anyway, can't they, regardless of contract, and Loc Auths have no comeback?

THIS! Check out Byline Times for proper investigative reporting needed now more than ever. Keeps you ahead of mainstream news outlets for a couple of quid a month. And no, they're not paying me!

Great interview on LBC this morning with @matthew-wright.bsky.social with @peterjukes.bsky.social exposing the Russian links to cuddly old NiGel's party. More of this!

I think this is exactly the point. Questions devised with one eye on a grabby headline. Though who it's meant to appeal to is another question.

It comes & goes. But slowly it goes more often than it comes, and eventually it stops coming altogether. Not doing it is the only trick there is.

Happened to me once after a gig when I lived on the 19th floor in London. I had my guitar in a heavy plastic case.

Ing Hell Indeed.

If the international left worked as well together as the international far right, it would be a nicer world.

They want to control our words more than they control guns. Isn’t that something

I was a stand up in the 80s, a time when ironically some people thought the new wave too politically correct. Always loved US stand up. Never thought I'd live to see a US comic fired for the political pleasure of a president. Dark day for the US and for true free speech.

Can’t get enough of this. @raskin.house.gov rubbing Nigel Farage’s nose in his self-confessed love of Putin as he’s forced to sit & watch is delicious beyond words

Readers of Becky's first book, Keanu Reeves Is Not In Love With You, will know to expect useful anti-scam info in highly entertaining form. I'll be getting this. (Probably from a different retailer though, if poss)

Excellent!

I have visited The Bull at Charlbury several times. It's a great pub with great food. Even better now.

The excellent Tax Justice Network explain financial reality vs the myths.

First night? Ooh, that brought a shiver. All the luck, and let us know if you're down this way in the autumn.

See also: mid December to mid Jan, 3 weeks in April/ March (depending when Easter) and all of August if you're arts related (Edinburgh festival). Pity the self employed WFH. Someone tell Mr Rees-Mogg.

Great thread. DH Lawrence & Barbara Cartland (OK not really literary) But all writers are self absorbed arseholes. Only comics are worse.

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel...

A Venn diagram showing three circles overlapping, one says I bet you think this graph is about and the other two say Don’t Dont and the middle says You

You’re so Venn

Oh that's great!

Excellent thread here. I remember when The Telegraph was respected even by centrists and left wingers. I'm pretty old.
