This aged well!....

Clever! No idea who to credit for this though....

Thats meals sorted for next few days. Just taken delivery of authentic Chinese food from Wowza Box. Superb food at equivalent pricing to takeaway. Cook at home average 12 mins on most dishes. Great portion sizes. Their Sichuan numbing beef is sublime!

FFS! Yet more fucking appeasement!.... www.reuters.com/world/us/mik...

Sees all yous thinking it cool setting off fucking fireworks every imagined or stipulated celebration. Ram them up your fucking arses and light the fuse!

This!....

Don't know who to credit for this timely truism!....

This!....

Scenario that Farage wants for our (S)NHS.... So sorry for the loss of your, ahem.... husband/wife/son/daughter. Before you leave to grieve, swipe your card here. Oh, and you better have £100k+ otherwise we bankrupt you. And again, so very sorry for your loss!

Yet more colonial exploitation!....

It is a peculiar trait of the English nationalists to navel gaze, to stare back intently at their own history, see that world through rose tinted glasses and strive to regain that illusory greatness, that lost Albion, whilst they stand in a circular firing squad.

This!.....

#worldcupdraw Jeez, this is so fucking bad. Lost the will to live! 28 years to qualify & another 28 years at this rate to find out who we play!

This!....

Concerned your growing children believe in Santa? I know individuals who believe Farage is a "man of the people"!

From today, over 96,000 unpaid carers in Scotland will receive a £293.50 Carer’s Allowance Supplement payment - extra support that’s only available here in Scotland. Dignity and fairness in action. That’s what you get with an SNP government.

Labour parodied by Monty Python parodied by Your Party!.... news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

To paraphrase Tony Benn.... 1. What Power Have You Got 2. Where Did You Get It From 3. In Whose Interests Do You Exercise It 4. To Whom Are You Accountable 5. How Can We Get Rid Of You If you can't leave the "voluntary union", you don't live in a democratic system! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Johnson on Covid.... 'nature’s way of dealing with old people’, ‘we should let the old people get it’. "no more fucking lockdowns – let the bodies pile high in their thousands” They did. In their 10's of 000's. Never forget. Never fucking forgive! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top. Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was... And thousands died. @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/boris-johnso...

TWENTY THREE THOUSAND EXTRA DEATHS. And thats just with the initial pandemic. But hey, there is zero culpability & exactly fuck all will happen. That is apart from the current moves to deflect the blame down the line.

Keep seeing party loyalists insisting UK Labour is doing good stuff but the press just aren't reporting it. Well, they're reporting this and Labour can just f*ck off. What a horrible place the UK is becoming.

So inspiring to see that Tory female tradition of outdoing their male colleagues in being as vicious as possible, is equally applicable to Labour ones too!....

Looking to book a table for Hogmanay lunch in Edinburgh. So sick of seeing "Protein Menus" on some restaurant websites! Turning the simple joy of eating for joys sake into some arbitrary science experiment where every calorie is assessed and tossed aside if in excess. Oh, & I was a chef!

FFS! Talk about twisting the message. Any excuse to blame the SNP for their woes with absolutely no push back tolerated!....

This really needs greater awareness across the national consciousness!....

This!....

Thanks to NHS Newsday for this piece of brilliance!....

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world. 10 mins later a right winger linked to my book. 10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all. But that's how it works.

The world can be a really isolating place, but there is always a reason to keep going. For yesterday's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, Aberdeen @tuc.org.uk laid wreaths to remember workers who have taken their own life. Thanks to a comrade for this photo🤍

If Starmer dropped Mandelson as US Ambassador because of disturbing emails to Epstein Surely Starmer should cancel Trump's state visit because of video evidence of Trump partying with Epstein?

Celtic can stick their Europa league ticket package up their corporate shiter along with their statement.

Looks overwhelming doesn't it? Tens of thousands waving Jack's, all proudly taking their sovereignty back! Only thing is its more AI fakery. That's not The Mall in London, and that's certainly not the Marble Arch! It is Paris and that's the Arc de Triomphe in the background!....

NEWS: I’ve set up an independent anti-racist reporting and monitoring organisation. We’ll document racist attacks, support victims, pressure authorities to act, and amplify the voices of smaller, more isolated Black and Asian communities across Britain.🧵

Brexit, like populism, is vacuous without an enemy to blame, a target to hate, is incapable of accepting responsibility for its failures, nor dealing with the reality of its persistent and enduring deficiencies. 1/3
