Lots of people sharing their favourite Glen Baxter cartoon. I can't pick one, but 35 years on, I remember the first I ever saw. I still love it now.

Glen Baxter has died. His drawings of cowboy art critics and wimples were an absurdist joy. RIP

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)

Take me down to the Cathedral City Where the cheese is fine and it costs £4.50

Sure, "For sale, baby shoes, never worn" is poignant, but the #opentowork hashtag on LinkedIn is even more heartbreaking and in half as many words.

Yes, yes, I know there is war and cancer and racism, but I am still peeved that it's the boy's 13th birthday and candles come in packs of 12.

If the Iranian football team are prevented from playing at the World Cup this summer, the Nobel Prize Committee should give them a "Nobel World Cup" that they can claim is more significant than the actual trophy.

This sort of behaviour inevitably has British commentators hand-wringing and saying "Nobody likes to see that." If you don't like to see it, stand back so I can get a better view. I absolutely *love* to see it.

We all know the zip code to Beverley Hills is 90210, but the zip code to Dawson's Creek is 90108 (for our lives to be over).

I collect names that also work as sentences. Tom Waits, Britney Spears, Gordon Banks, that sort of thing. It's rare the sentence is as apt as "Matthew Swindells"

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

Twat dooming Reform? (4,7)

Today's earworm: youtu.be/40ila3Rh9lQ?...

The Greens are going to win. They're going to show that you can win despite all the media hating and lying about you. They are going to show so much of what we've been fed our entire lives in this country is just pure bullshit. Maybe not today, but possibly. Definitely soon.

Raising a glass to William Henry Harris. “London’s oldest man, and the inventor of tinsel.” (1939) foblc.org.uk/posts/willia...

A reminder that Rupert Lowe was chairman when Southampton FC signed Ali Dia.

Very much in favour of Andrew getting arrested. Slightly disappointed it's for sharing trade secrets and not the whole sex with trafficked underage girls thing.

I always hoped Schroders would merge with ING, call the new company "SchrodINGers", and then leave investors to guess whether there was money in the funds or not.

Trafalgar Square in the rain last night. It's been 41 days of rain in the UK and while that means walking in #London leaves you damp and cold, the wet also helps highlight the beauty of the city.

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

Big Breaking news

As I get older, my response to celebrities dying is increasingly surprise that they weren't dead already. I am similarly amazed that Braverman didn't join Reform years ago.

I judge calendar years by whether they feature more weddings or funerals. 2025 was the first year in ages where weddings won. But we're barely three weeks into 2026 and it's 2-0 to funerals already.

I don't like Bromley its horrible.

Scooby Doo’s favourite pantomime.

Think our commentary team enjoyed that equaliser 😅 🎧 A warning to all headphone users 😉

I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to watch this until the end

I just want to know why the Health Secretary seems to continually fight on the side of Disease.

the coop this evening with possibly the most baffling musical choice i have ever experienced in a supermarket

Working on a presentation and...JFC, we need to shut down the pulpy "[Thing] of Auschwitz" machine until we can figure out what's going on. These things are just stealing the oxygen of important Holocaust histories.

I've a favour to ask of my cisgender UK followers. It'll take you 5 minutes! Please use this template to write to your MP. I know, I know... AGAIN. But this is to counter the letter-writing campaign undertaken by Sex Matters, who want the awful EHRC trans-exclusionary Code to be rushed through. 🙏🏻

The Spectator are confused. It's not going to be cost free. Billionaires are going to pay more. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The quote marks make it seem like the BBC don't believe her.

Is this what they mean when they say recollections may vary

RISQUE GALORE

As someone who travels around the uk a lot, I want Jenrick to know there are so many places that are ONLY white faces, he needs to go and tell them to integrate.

Finally, a worthy sequel to "Baby shoes" in the 6-word story genre.

Henry *and* Sir Trevor Brooking both celebrating birthdays. What a blessed day.

I know Bill Wells is talking about Glasgow, but when he sings, "This city's all I'll ever need," I completely get it.

Day off work, the sky is blue, I'm on a solo yolo to a fancy massage and the Picasso exhibition at Tate Modern *and* I got the driver's seat on the bus. #smugcudby

Drivers of Essex, if you are not travelling any faster than the traffic in the slow lane, there is no need for you not to be in the slow lane yourself. The fast lane is not macho if you trundle.

Following the release of two albums last month, Automatic and Stick, @mrjimbob.bsky.social isn't resting on his laurels as he posts a new track Not Your President Not My King inspired by the recent Windsor Castle Trump Banquet... www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKC_...

Maybe she’s born with it Maybe it’s Tylenol

Made an impromptu lunchtime jaunt to the Right to Protest exhibition at 10 Greatorex St before it finishes on Friday. Brilliant.

Anti-autism campaigner, Karen Hoyland, 40, commented: “I love my child but I hate his autism. The other day I came home to find him lining up his guns, instead of playing with them like a normal kid.”
