Remember when all the nice sensible Tories said it was all Dominic Cummings' fault and so he went and then they remained a rotten bucket of right-wing crooks?

My couple weren't there today. Wonder if it was something I did.

Speed skating is my favourite

Skiathlon!

I did find a picture of a shih tzu that looks like Tim Burgess though

Today is the 50th anniversary of the first time I went on a gay demo - accidentally. I went to look and got sucked in, never saw the photographer from the local paper and oops, was out to everyone. Never looked back. Happy anniversary me.

Guess the context. I don't think you can.

Honestly saying I spoilt my ballot paper *thirty years ago* has brought more FBPE and blue Maga into my mentions than anything else

And she's proud of this!

DECENT? The 'island of strangers' guy? The 'they do have that right' guy? The '10 pledges' guy? The 'I did know' guy? Are you fucking serious?

This line Starmer's supporters keep reciting about him being "a decent man" is honestly just disgusting to me. A self-degrading thing to say out loud.

Guess what this was a reply to

I regret to inform me the americans have found this post

Saying "They're a bit... you know" about people who are not white, not straight, or just have a nose ring

*thumbing through the last 50 years of British politics* British Values, yup. Uh huh.

To be fair they do actually have a comms problem too

Truthing the Epstein files on your podcast but using their first names because you go way back...

1997 was the first general election I was able to vote in and I spoilt my paper

What time is Starmer's speech today?

Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up. That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

Imagine still being a Labour loyalist. Imagine still having a direct debit to that organisation. Wild.

Mandelson would never have been exposed by the British media if it wasn't for the US DOJ dumping all those files. They would have assisted in covering up his role instead, like they've been doing for the past 30 years. They knew what he was and they kept quiet for decades.

Lmao

Sure you were all on tenterhooks. Persuaded them not to turn the water off but had drilling and grinding right outside the door all night :) anyway raised a lot for charity and I have tinnitus

Today's fun is getting a letter from Southern Water saying they're finally fixing the leak outside the bar, work will start tonight at 7pm - 5am and we may lose our water supply. We have an event tonight.

The idea that there's this big pool of people otherwise attracted to the politics of the Greens but for whom Atlanticist foreign policy is a red line is pure smooth Labour Brain

Why actually examine gender when you can publish a column about a woman who had short hair for a few months, didn't like it, so grew it long again

Just watched Sinners again because B hadn't seen it and thought it was even better the second time

Granita Revenge

This is it. I don't know how big it is in the states but exchanging compromising material has been a long documented way that rich assholes in the UK upper class forge relationships. Being photographed and friendly with known pests is cement of mutual interests and a risk if they betray that trust

I was trying to remember exactly what I'd blocked Hothersall for (other than being a patronising prick) and it was a lovely exchange I had with him when he was out batting for Rachel Reeves

Your occasional reminder that Ricky Gervais posed for this, so you never have to listen to him about anything.

A precedent? God forbid! Also, the staff in parliament are forced to work with, and effectively be subservient to, members of both Houses. So yes, for their sake as well set a precedent that people no longer have to doff their caps to abusers.

Pessimistic prediction, but: At some point, being in the Epstein files a few times without direct evidence that you killed, fucked and ate a baby, is going to become a mark of prestige. Because enough powerful people are implicated that accepting it will be presented as realistic grown up politics.

Blocked Hothersall ages ago for being a patronising arsehole, but it is wild that the Labour brains think this behvaiour will somehow convince people to vote for their precious party

Still surprised how quickly so many people forgot that for every “ye haw” you need a “fuck the law”

The Monday cinema and martini tradition is a keeper

Just went to see No Other Choice and it is so good. Funny, satirical, visceral. Loved it.

I know how hard it is to come forward with complaints against MPs because the whole system is on their side. Hope those women are ok and hope he never knows peace.

Sobbing “because I’m worth it, it’s okay not to be okay” & colouring my whole entire self in from face to feet with the BACP lipstick collection & wondering why I’m still completely & utterly fucked

I may be reaching my tolerance threshold for fatuous mental health discourse. It's an absolute scourge.

They're unbelievable. Truly the most pathetic bunch of people. Embarrassing.

I mean I just think it’s weird that accounts with no profile pics on here were doing this narrative a day before it was an official Labour statement

I keep finding whole new reservoirs of repulsion for the Labour Party

Talking about one of your guys being implicated in paedophile ring like it's an admin error because you are morally bankrupt. Labour needs destroying.

Anyway, I did get to hang out with @agirlcalledlina.bsky.social and Mia today because family is important

I'm on a rail replacement bus with a full bladder!

A mate's just had this left on his windscreen. Manchester people, we need to show up on the 21st and tell these fascist cunts to fuck off.
