"Why would anyone hand the keys back to these people [the Conservative Party] to take the country forward and hope that they would fix it" says Robert Jenrick, who was a Conservative Party Shadow Minister until just a few hours ago, and has been plotting to take it over for years

Going on a hike in mountain lion country but don’t worry I’m being responsible and smearing myself with beef fat first

“Deepfake child pornography is fine as long as only adults get to see it” is a curious place for the modern Conservative Party to find itself, but here we are

Nuts in May on BBC FOUR tonight.

Still can't shake this fing cold. At the trying anything stage.

I, for one, cannot understand why men like Rupert Lowe are opposed to banning X, despite it assisting sex offenders, paying people to invite the foreign powers to invade the U.K, and allowing state-sponsored cyber warfare against our democracy. It's a real mystery...🤔

Russian Occupation Update, January 8, 2026: An investigation by Ukrainian outlet Suspilne provided additional details on Russia’s deportation of Ukrainian children to a camp in North Korea. Read the full update: https://isw.pub/OccupationUpdate010826

2026. We go again. Anyone need any small design work done? It takes less than 5 seconds to RT, like something. Big up your mates, help them out, even if you don't need anything done. Support them when you can. You never know who might see it. Link in bio as always. Cheers ✊

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

They are excavating a 1978 Skate park in Kelvingrove park, Glasgow on Digging For Britain. 😀 Something for everyone on that programme. @weare1of100.bsky.social probably knows all about it

New series of Digging For Britain on iplayer folks 👌

We are OUT of chutney. Words I never thought I'd hear given how many jars of homemade we get given. Admittedly we chucked a full jar of 2009 vintage out the other week cause we couldn't get the top off, but even so.

George Martin in one of the most delightful scenes in Get Back. He would have been 100 today.

Definitely a Brian Eno sort of day today

Pretty amazing moon at 7.30 this morning up here

Mentioned before but bears repeating, bumping into at least 1/2 of New Order coming out of Birmingham Ikea, around 20 years ago.

Took off my rave trainers to discover I've been carrying real Glastonbury gravel for the last six months and an acorn since I don't know when.

Our local has just announced they have this on tap. I honestly don't care what it tastes like, I'm avin' it.

What did you expect from the channel that calls Susanna Reid a "journalist"? #LFC

Brilliant thread! Do yerself a favour!

Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

Key points: Met police say investigation into other politicians is ongoing. Gill sought to recruit multiple MEPs including 4 British ones. The judge gave strongest possible quotes about the gravity of the crime and the damage done to public trust.

UK Covid inquiry: Chairwoman of the inquiry, former judge Baroness Hallett, said the UK's response could be summarised as "too little, too late" Lockdown could have been avoided - but action came too late 'Chaotic' government with key figures criticised including Dominic Cummings & Boris Johnson

Here’s the best piece of writing on The Stones Roses thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

This afternoon I went for a run and for the first time in many years listened to the first Stone Roses album (prompted by hearing the first few seconds of Waterfall in a recent episode of Mortimer & Whitehouse go Fishing we watched last night). 1/2

Just thought the noise of a plane was my stomach grumbling

@ghost-assembly.bsky.social Ghost Assembly does it again. COMPLETE. BANGER. Available now through @bandcamp.com Also the best backstory ever.

Leonard and Hungry Paul is great telly.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

if you’ve ever watched the apprentice, that’s the world without arts or humanities degrees

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

"Siri, show me a real life example of the idea of 'the survival of the fittest'."

#Sundayafternoonlistening Works on many levels. Sofa and dance floor. Today: sofa.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All of them impeccable. Both albums and Thompson's contributions.

Happy 35th birthday to Cocteau Twins' 'Heaven Or Las Vegas', released #OnThisDay in 1990. A dreampop masterpiece that sounds as magical and wondrous as the album cover looks. #MusicSky #OTD

Happy 43rd Birthday to Simple Minds' 'New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84), released #OnThisDay in 1982. The perfect midpoint between the band's polar opposite bookends, Jim Kerr described New Gold Dream as the band's holy grail, and it shines through on every single listen. #MusicSky #VinylSky #OTD
