Pity Cartlidge is wasting this #PMQs by pointlessly asking the same question when when it's already been addressed

It's quite nice listening to a bit of fire in #PMQs from Lammy. Starmer is normally a pretty safe and steady performer but he's not the most passionate

Some people on social media are very strange. The amount of people who seem genuinely angry that I had a dream where both Harris in the US and Labour in the UK won an election on the same day is fucking unhinged. It was a dream you know!? I.e. not real!

Dreamt last night we had simultaneous UK and USA general elections. Harris comfortably beat Trump and Labour won in the UK with Reform way back in third. It was very satisfying

I swear to god if @duolingoverde.bsky.social is down all day because of this outage and they reset all of our streaks then I'm going to come after that owl with the fury of a thousand suns #duolingo

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Whilst it is obviously awful for anyone to lose their jobs, I'm not sure this is quite the threat he thinks it is. BBC News - Betfred says all its shops may close if Reeves hikes gambling tax www.bbc.com/news/article...

I was very impressed with Daisy Cooper's questioning in parliament yesterday (hardly a surprise) but considering how angry and upset she has made some people she clearly did an even better job than I thought!

Wow. Just wow... BBC News - Barnsley man in hospital after three-day cola bottles binge - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fwiw my prediction for the Israel-Gaza peace deal - in a couple of days Netanyahu will announce either Hamas haven't returned all of the dead hostages or they were returned in such a bad condition the deal is off and he'll use it as an excuse to bomb Gaza further and worse

That Netanyahu speech may have been one of the most deceptive, unhinged and repulsive speeches I've heard a major politician give. In fact he had his tongue so far up Trumps arse I'm amazed you could hear a word he said

Paul's Gala Pie looks incredibly dry #gbbo

Ah yes, because what London so desperately needs is more of its historic buildings turned into wanky, unaffordable luxury hotels eh? www.constructionenquirer.com/2025/09/10/l...

Saw The Thursday Murder Club film last night. I think the hate it's getting is very unfair - it was a lovely film! Incredibly well cast and arguably better than the book as it's much more focused and has dropped some of the secondary storylines. Defo worth watching & a sequel

Im not saying that I have less than zero sympathy for the financial predicament of #WHSmith #TGJones or whatever the hell they are called now, but today they tried to charge me £3.39 for a standard bottle of diet coke at Watford Junction station... Dick Turpin had less shame

How sad. His books were wonderful BBC News - Children's author Allan Ahlberg dies aged 87 www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is deeply depressing but also probably an inevitable development. For so many of us buying a programme is such an integral part of going to a match - it'll be so sad if this is the part of a trend Watford announce the end of physical matchday programmes share.google/DfkhpeYJ3aKm...

Just watched The Bears episode of The Bear. What a truly wonderful and enjoyable hour of TV #ThrBear

Spain are reminding me a bit of England in the Italy game. The should be well clear by now but the ball just won't go in #Lionesses

At half time you could only see Spain winning this, and easily. Second half all England and arguably we were most likely to win. Extra time we look absolutely exhausted - Spain have used their substitutions so much better #lionesses

Petition for a statue of Chloe Kelly to be on the spare plinth in Trafalgar Square #Lionesses

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

WHERE IS CHLOE KELLY. SEND FOR KELLY

If only this team could actually finish....#lionesses

How the fuck did we just get through there? What a ridiculous penalty shoot out #sweeng #england #Lionesses #Euro2025

I don't want to target one player, especially when the rest are so underwhelming, but how on earth is Carter still on the field? She reminds me of Gary Neville when he was retired by Jerome Thomas #england #sweend #euro2025 #lionesses

This is almost as bad as watching the mens team under Tuchel #england #sweend #euro2025 #lionesses

Well that was thoroughly miserable. England abject, Sweden better, fitter more talented and more committed from start to finish. We'll be lucky if we don't lose this by more #england #sweend #euro2025

Jess Carter is having an absolute stinker tonight #england #sweend #euro2025

Increasingly convinced we should get rid of the back and forth between Badenoch and Starmer. It's rare that anything comes from it. We should just skip ahead to Davey's question as they are normally much more insightful and well thought through in terms of Q and A #pmqs

I appreciate that costs have rocketed over recent years but when you are charging £4.25 for a pint of diet coke then I struggle to feel much sympathy for any pub that goes out of business

It's a low bar admittedly but Philp is much better at #PMQs than Badenoch.

On the plus side it's brilliant that the @britishmuseum.bsky.social has reopened the Waddesdon Bequest, however it seems that the security checks in to the building get more extreme each time you visit. It's currently on par with what you'd expect before a 1 on 1 meeting with Vladimir Putin

Ah yes, FIFA should definitely be looking at expanding a competition that hasn't started yet, no broadcasters really want to show, no fans want to watch in the stadiums and no one gives a shit about. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

It's hard to explain how or why, but Mel Stride sounds exactly what you would expect a senior Tory to sound #spendingreview

Southgate was obviously far from perfect but the way this England team has gone down hill since Tuchel took over is alarming

Saw that CNN has a new show called Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain and I really hope it’s just her pointing to places on a map and someone saying no

I'm sorry....did someone on LBC just tell @lewisgoodall.com that the majority of people think Reform are too left wing!? Or did I accidentally make my drink with gin instead of water?

The problem with this Musk-Trump meltdown is that Musk could confirm what alot of us suspect about the election, the assassination attempt, Trump's capacity to serve, Epstein etc etc but Trump's diehard supporters will still just brush it off and play the jealous exes lies card

Cookie Monster being a perv

Jesus. Trevor on @lewisgoodall.com on #lbc right now, is exactly what is wrong with modern society. Selfish, self entitled so and so

I can't think of a bigger indicator of the success of the most recent season of #doctorwho then the Telegraph complaining about it and providing suggestions on how to improve it www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/doctor-...

Slightly disappointed by the #doctorwho finale. The series so far had been brilliant but it felt like The Rani, Omega, the wish baby and Conrad were all underserved. Brilliant characters/concepts and just wholly wasted. Heck we hardly saw Omega!

My personal ranking 1) Blackouts 2) Harry the magician 3) Jasmine 4) Vinnie the singer 5) The little girl dancer 6) Han and Fran 7) Ping Pong 8) Olly 9) The Choir 10) The Comedian 11) Stacey Blackouts by a whisker but I'd be ok with either top two winning #bgt #bgtfinal

It's a VERY tough judgment call for me now between the magic and The Blackouts. But regardless, if Harry doesn't win, he'll have a TV show before the end of the year #bgt #bgtfinal

I'm not saying Harry is impressive but if Debbie McGee wants to get her sparkly outfit back out we could have a proper prime time magic show on a Saturday evening again #bgt #bgtfinal

Sadly, as brilliant as The Blackouts were and as much as they SHOULD win, I suspect Jasmine Rice might take it #bgt #bgtfinal

These were one of my favourite semi finalists and that was a step up. Flawless. Brilliant. Will take ALOT to beat that #bgt #bgtfinal
