Anthony Seldon made zero sense in this episode. Stated that what is required someone with authority who actually achieved something, like Carney, even if they did not have “charismatic flair of Johnson & Farage” Starmer had achieved alot (of a very difficult nature) prior to being elected1/2

BEING HAPPY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE

"And finally...senior Labour MPs have announced today they'd rather not be in power at all than follow the party leader they chose and who the people also voted for as Prime Minister. Because having 5 leaders in 8 years worked really well for their predecessors, didn't it. The festering bell ends."

Can you all get your shit together behind the PM who was elected on a landslide AND FOCUS ON GOVERNING @stellacreasy.bsky.social

Rayner can fuck right off.

An afterword is better than a foreword in a book.

You would say that as I don’t think you know anything about Manchester and the North West region it sits in Jim. It has become the London of the 90s - sucking the life out of the wider northern towns and region surrounding it in a very negative way.

I have zero confidence in any UK Political News coverage. Impossible to get facts.

All because of online discourse: blow up the internet

Why do we have Amanda Knox on WATO ? UK listeners don’t need to hear her endless complaining and self promotion on whats supposed to a News programme. #WATO #BBC

Nothing like an American condescending us all about State execution.

Its not a handful. The Green Party has welcomed the Corbyn faction from Labour. It’s not a society wide problem, it is a problem of a specific political faction - which is why despite facing the most appalling PM in 2019 election UK voters still did not elect Corbyns Labour.

Lots of insular political writers who spend all their time sharing their individual opinions (which are more often than not wrong) objecting to others doing the same. Zzz Zzz Zz Zzzzzzz

Amol Rajan in Celebrity Traitors. No thank you.

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.

We do not hear this enough.

Simon Schama’s “A History of Britain” on BBC4 right now. One of the best history series on the beeb ever.

A Reform UK candidate served as a "de facto diplomat" for the government of Hong Kong, staying in post well after imposition of the contentious National Security Law. My story here: as.ft.com/r/3570697c-d...

Great piece about a writer I only discovered last year. The Notebook is unusual and disturbing but brilliant - the whole trilogy is.

Another Dad joke for you @ronanhession.bsky.social

We have more money because everything costs more and wages have had to increase (public sector increases last two yrs, where there was nil prior for a decade)

So its not just in Manchester then. Something does need to be done to preserve these buildings..

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

All the Americans enjoying #coachella a festival owned by a MAGA, Heritage Foundation arsehole. So long as Americans participate in all of this they are complicit.

I can’t trust someone who has framed front covers of themselves on their wall.

Maybe you lot can stop platforming this dickhead (referring to YV of course..) @theguardian.com

💔

Why you @samdlee.bsky.social and @theathleticfc.bsky.social need to get off twatter. It is not an accurate picture of football fandom. Its not right to base articles and work about fan opinion/mood based on what you see on there.

What does this even mean

Pleased to report Paddington Train Station is absolutely hideous this morning!

I didn’t know you were on here! @jasonburke2.bsky.social I read your book, Revolutionists, on my holiday. It’s so good, I am reading and listening to all the current news with much better, deeper perspective. So thank you!

Oh God Lee Dixon on comms. The most miserable football hating pundit there is #ENGJAP

Exactly what I wish to see in the Guardian. This was very upsetting “Although the City of London topped local authorities with the most per 10,000 people, Blackburn, Preston, Blackpool and Bolton followed.”

And quit your stupid tech companies X Meta Amazon Oracle Etc

This is not the win you think it is?! A rally every now again where everyone congratulates themselves in how witty the banners are? There needs to be real action by Americans which will require sacrifice & real organisation. Strikes - continuous. Mass boycotts.

we get it - they are women

Very cool. I had no idea Paula Rego had done Pendle Witches!

Wordsworth Trust saves Lake District poet’s final home Rydal Mount was on sale for £2.5m after struggling with falling visitor numbers and rising costs

It should be renamed The Dog District #lakes #lakedistrict

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

This rarely-seen Glass Octopus was caught by an underwater robot during an expedition off the Phoenix Islands.

This is very disturbing @stellacreasy.bsky.social

This is utterly jaw-dropping. A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...

This is a stupid take from someone who has zero experience of involvement anything like this situation. There will be reasons why UK needs to throw a bone to US. I could speculate what they are but no need.

This is not right. Not right at all. Sad indeed.

Good Man. Not like the twatty Manchester Labour MPs Sadiq knows how to do it

York's Jews were massacred on this day 1190. After their houses were set on fire, they fled to the castle. Most men took their own and their families’ lives rather than wait to be killed or forcibly baptised, while a few were tricked into leaving the castle and massacred.

"For your people have corrupted themselves. ... They have made themselves a molten calf, and worshipped it and sacrificed to it, and said, ‘This is your god’" (Exodus 32:7-8).
