Once again what is the point of Starmer other than to give the Tories a rest and roll out the red carpet for Reform?

How quickly Starmer the Trump Whisperer became Starmer the Trump Appeaser.

Do the Metropolitan Police allow chants of “Death to the imperialists”? Asking for a friend.

Outraged, yes but you can’t be shocked that American foreign policy is continuing to be American foreign policy.

If someone beats you by 150 points at scrabble they are cheating, that’s a rule right?

Yesterday was funeral of Warren Lakin. Saying goodbye to one of the best human beings I have ever known. All you can do is hold those you love and let the grief flow through. Woke today on the Lincolnshire coast, waves breaking over a cold clear sky. Here’s to a rebellious and hopeful 2026. X✊

At some point Wimbledon are going to have to inform the players that the ones with the blue shirts are on the same team.

There is something about evening football post Christmas where the floodlights feel like very plain but very big Christmas lights. COYD!

This may not be for everyone but had an absolute beauty of a day, full of chilled conversation, love and mushroom wellington. Hope yours was a good one and if it wasn’t Boxing Day is nearly here. X

I’m a couple of minutes early but fuck it, Happy Christmas my darlings and comrades, to you and yours.* * Terms and conditions apply, not available to the rich.

UCKG pastor’s exorcism in London resulted in child’s death and jailing of 4 guardians. They backed Bolsonaro in Brazil. They are anti LGBT+ Don’t give them money!

Took in a rescue tree that was abandoned in the street 5 years ago. Today it comes inside for its annual residence…in the bedroom!

Christmas here starts with the arrival of the @oliverdouble.bsky.social Christmas compilation. X

The Yule Elvis is up!

Took 90 yr old mum to the Guy Barker Jazz Orchestra Christmas gig at the Royal Albert Hall. 50 piece band with guests belting out “You’re a mean one Mr Grinch” and rousing versions of Sing Sing SIng. At the end of the gig she said, “They must be fucking knackered after that." She liked it.

Thank you and happy xmas to all at Go Faster Stripe. X

Last night we were delighted to host the Football APPG's review of the year. Chair Clive Betts MP was joined by @markthomasinfo.bsky.social @philippeauclair.bsky.social and Chloe Morgan Together we can make a difference

If you regard patriotism as a love of a democratic independent nation state, then increasingly the traitors and quislings are identified by their display of union flags.

Went looking for holly with berries in wooded area on Clapham Common. I know where it grows. It is 6.15pm so any cottaging would surely happen after tea. I was wrong. I wandered around a copse of trees with couples interspersed throughout with set of secateurs and a torch. Merry Christmas.

Evening all. Right we got handful of these t towels left, last posting day is Wednesday, why don’t we say let’s shift this tonight and then we can all put our feet up. Get ‘em here: markthomasinfo.co.uk/store/

It's beyond appalling that the Government are clearly happy to endorse this cruel treatment of people fighting to stem genocide in Gaza. And displays in sharp relief the British state’s role as brutal enforcer of capitalist interests in the middle east. www.middleeasteye.net/news/can-you...

Ah, train travel on a Sunday is a true adventure. Am currently on the banks of the River Styx waiting for the bus replacement service to Bracknell.

Heading home after last gig of year. Down at Canterbury with old friend @oliverdouble.bsky.social and three of his lovely students performing their sets. Perfect way to end the year. The fact that the carriage smells of cheese and skunk is strangely comforting.

1/1 A brief history of the play Ordinary Decent Criminal in dodgy photos. Starts with the prerequisite rehearsal room photo with playwright Ed Edwards and director Charlotte Bennett.

One of the great things about the stand up circuit is being in a dressing room with people you see every couple of years but have known for 40. It’s like being in the opening scene of Broadway Danny Rose but better.

Hunger strike in British jails and no one bats an eyelid. Please let’s get the word out. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/brit...
