I've read a lot of stuff about the conduct of the former Prince Andrew. But even I was surprised by this - evidence he got someone to procure girls ahead of an official visit to Peru: www.ft.com/content/782e... The former prince, of course, denies the accusations against him.

Also, calling Russell Brand a comedian is like calling Tommy Robinson a journalist. There is no evidence he is or ever was.

He's a Christian like I'm a poorly baked lemon curd pie circling Pluto

I'd noticed that Brand was posting a lot of stuff about his new found faith and the importance of forgiveness and redemption.... and thus was expecting this www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Inheritance tax is one of the fairest systems of taxation, and everything was in place to protect working farms, so this just looks pathetic frankly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Love to see Charles Beaumont's properly excellent thriller so prominently on display at Waterstones. Well deserved.

Have become quite critical of Macron lately. But for the EU's sole nuclear power this is an important response.

Absolutely horrifying case. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good demonstration of why Google AI overview should not be trusted. According to this, Chris Rea had fairly robust opinions on the "business implications" of Brexit. But it's confusing singer Chris Rea with a completely different person.

Tory MP Matt Vickers' car crash encounter with @lewisgoodall.com on #Brexit. LG: Do you accept you damaged the economy? MV: No. LG: Are you saying Brexit has been good for business? MV: It's created opportunities. LG: What about all the evidence? MV: You need to come up north. Huh? 😵‍💫 ~AA

I found an article by the author and her use of commas is beyond infuriating! www.brugesgroup.com/blog/poets-p...

Isn't the kid with the gas mask is straight out of Doctor Who as well? "Are you my mummy?"

No artificial intelligence was used in this video, only human stupidity

All the Chris Rea obituaries are inevitably latching on to "Driving Home for Christmas" as his big hit but actually it peaked at number 53 when it originally came out. So it's perhaps the most famous example of the "Christmas compilation album" effect where a song becomes famous thru cd ubiquity

Compiling a list of good things that happened in 2025 and what's striking is that "bad news sells" while stuff like this can get missed almost altogether wmo.int/media/news/s...

Since the very dawn of humanity, from the time we stopped being apes and started being humans, we imagine that people have looked at the heavens, seen the regular progression of the stars across the night sky, observed the movements of the planets, and asked themselves, "When is bins?"

and change planning laws so that all warehouses have to have solar panels on the roofs

Lots of people listening to my interview with Private Eye editor and Have I Got News For You star Ian Hislop. You can check it out here: open.spotify.com/episode/3ICP...

Do both. And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns. Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.

This is such a tragic story. These young people seem committed to a path that will achieve nothing but their early deaths. It's an absolutely futile waste of life.

I think this is called "a cry for help" 1/3

Just been handed one of these for using the word Christmas in Birmingham. The Daily Mail articles were true.

I live in a semi-rural community and go for long walks in the countryside around where I live. Whenever I’ve seen a dog flush out a rabbit or pheasant, the owner has unfailingly called them off. There are wild deer round here too, and I’ve never seen a dog stupid enough to take one on.

You'd have to be really very stupid to believe this one. But maybe that's it. Maybe Farage’s followers are just thick and gullible.

This image did not appear in the Epstein files, and nobody should share misinformation

I've got a challenge. If someone can show me any evidence of anyone who has apologised for being white, I'll send them a miniature jar of liberal tears.

The word ‘could’ in the Daily Fail is doing a lot of lifting and it’s all just based on hearsay. Utter crap.

Gobsmacking screw up

Absolutely incredible that the "migrants ate my geese/swans/etc" lie is still doing the rounds over 20 years after it first started doing the rounds

This is how cults form.

Ministry of Justice data show just how wrong Semi Badenough is here. Referring to UK (male) prison population data shows that ~55% x all offences are violence against 'the person' and sexual offences, while there are ~83,600 male prisoners… British & foreign. Some (386) were not recorded, while… 1/3

My entire X timeline is anti-EU posts from people I don't follow. Even if I change it from 'for you' to 'following', it switches back to 'for you' each time I open the site. X is being weaponised against the EU. And unfortunately X is still the public square for European journalists & politicians.

We banned them from our farm but still used to get packs of dogs running across scaring our dogs, deer and all the other birds & creatures. So every time we saw them on our land we set off the alarm (which sounds like a very loud WW2 air raid siren). Now we never see them. 😀

Oscar Wilde's quote is as valid now as then, "the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable" They truly are the worst of us.

Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

Something very funny about this photo of Andrew Tate's match yesterday but it's the pink boxing gloves that are the icing on the cake.

Watch on repeat

Quite a double whammy for him today...
