Hmm. Didn’t think much of Ockenden when I heard her speak at @hsj.co.uk 2024 Patient Safety Congress.

Dads Army is very funny. I remember being told this decades ago but never watched it, didn’t appeal. But it turns out its very, very funny..

What kind of stupid wordle word has no vowels in it 😡

One for @ronanhession.bsky.social

Because its all about you hey Your kind of demonstrating why you needed to be demoted with this..

Stop clicking on The Daily Mail Online - its keeping the rag alive

I am very interested in reading this after reading your Blake book! @philiphoare.bsky.social

I find it incredible that Conservative US media are going for Hesgeth but have zero problems with this which is a daily occurrence on US soil

Absolutely no. This is disgraceful @stellacreasy.bsky.social

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

Well this is odd. An hour ago I googled taskmaster to look for the home game for xmas. And now this appears on the discover time line. Don’t tell me bluesky are listening in on my phone as well?!

President Zelenskyy is thanking again other leaders for their support. How about we all thank him and all Ukrainians. They are fighting Putin and keeping us safe. If Putin wins we all lose and Europe is finished. Thank you President Zelenskyy and all Ukrainians 🇺🇦🙏

Unbelivable.

WANTED: A Chair that does not give way when sat on.

I can’t stand this patronising Sat AM output on Radio 4. Its for R5 or R2. We don’t come to R4 for this shite: stop

Meanwhile you are all ignoring that Russia is in your White House. Or maybe you just don’t care. Europe does though. I don’t think Americans realise what the fallout is going to be. Or probably don’t care.

John Major yesterday at LSE: 1. “In an act of collective folly, the United Kingdom voted to lead to European Union across the world, our enemies celebrated and our friends despair.”1/

I can assure you microsoft does not make me more productive in my NHS work. The opposite.

Actually quite impressed with the newly independent The Observer. Shame it’s not 7/7 or I might actually £…

BRING IT ON FAT F**KER

The BBC is in crisis with many calling for it to be broken up and political attacks at home and abroad - time to save it from interference by partisan elites by putting the public truly at the heart of our public service broadcasting and mutualising it. Democracy not Donald must be its future!

This will stay with me a long time.

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling. Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

Quite. @stellacreasy.bsky.social

What as my MP are you doing to protect the BBCs independence @stellacreasy.bsky.social ?

It really is just outrageous that MAGA wankers, The Daily Telegraph and Robbie Gibb and all those trying to undermine the BBC - which is overly sympathetic to them - have forced this? How dare they? What is the UK Government doing here?

He resigns because of bullshit right-wingers complaining about “left wing bias” when there is no such thing?? Seriously ????

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I have been saying a while, Manchester has become the London of the North West - sucked the life out of surrounding towns and Cities. I never thought I would dislike the place but there has been zero benefit to the wider region.

You cheeky shit @robertgarcia.house.gov Get your own house in order? 😡

@johnconstablera.bsky.social I hope all okay. I miss you pictures. But hope you are just bored of the social media thing and happy working away ..

Amazon can piss off with its Christmas Ad

Because you put that message on Twitter/X, thats why you saw mindless speculation about the race, background and motive of the attacker? Nowhere else has there been? Are you saying British Law Enforcement has to now do things because of twitter/X, the plaything of Musk?

My club don’t understand me – but then I’m not sure I do either The head-scratching questions I receive included why I attended their most recent match ✍️ Giles Smith https://bit.ly/4oiEWUx

Why is Radio 4 PM giving a blow by blow account of The Spectators awards show as some kind of jolly jape? They they declared a racist and ignorant and divisive MP Katie Law as “breakout star of the year” and the clips aired were not funny?

‘It’s been a cesspit, really, my life’: war photographer Don McCullin on 19 of his greatest pictures www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Precisely.

Pleeeese can we have UK specific “trending”? @support.bsky.team @bsky.app

I can’t think of what I would least like to hear on BBC Radio 4s Front Row more than Reece Witherspoon talking about a novel she wrote with another writer 💤💤 Down with this incessant celebrity book publishing

Here's a screenshot from the Times showing the office chairs they recommend buying.

This was a depressing read

This is enraging. Yet on here so many self congratulatory Americans purring about their “no kings” gatherings which will do precisely NOTHING. 😡😡😡

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Potatoes (a main ingredient in both the “traditional” Sunday roast and fish & chips) only arrived in the British Isles from South America around the 1580s, & didn’t catch on as a popular food until the late 18th century; which is also about the same time curry arrived in the UK

I thank the book gods for putting this in front of me at a bookshop in Berlin ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 It’s my first visit and i’ve found the psycho geography of the place quite disorientating & confronting (wasn’t expecting that) This book helped tremendously, brilliant read @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Insight — Putin’s influence over Trump remains strong There is no foreign leader who has appeared more able to manipulate Donald Trump than Vladimir Putin. www.ft.com/content/d5fe...
