In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. goodlaw.social/ncfw

What is even the point of Facebook? Just an endless scrolling loop of crap adverts that bear no resemblance to anything interesting. Absolutely awful.

Gawd. It’s the insipid berks from Ireland again. #totp

WHY CLAUDE SKILLS MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST AI UPDATE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF

4m people in England & Wales spend more on essentials than they earn. 580,000 have £50 left at the end of the month. Result of low wages/benefits, austerity, unchecked profiteering. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Poverty is a political choice.

A huge generational gap is young people talking blithely about 'influencers' as if someone else setting themselves as better than you and telling you what to do is perfectly normal and acceptable. Anyone my age would tell anyone like that to fuck off immediately, and rightly so.

Women across Britain will be horrified to see Nigel Farage siding with Trump to roll back women’s rights. We’ll fight every attempt to turn Trump’s America into Farage’s Britain and undo decades of progress.

Andy Peebles passed away earlier this year. Never seemed comfortable in front of the camera, but a natural fit behind the microphone. #totp

Legs & Co. At this point I can’t tell whether it’s #totp or the Kenny Everett Television Show.

Just remembering how The Sun outed Stephen and then The Mail danced on his grave. Never forgive, never forget. #totp

The 1st time I saw the Fun Lovin’ Criminals live the Dust Junkies blew the electrics at the end of their set (Boardwalk, Manchester). Huey and boys covered the bar tab for everyone until they got on. They were on the champagne backstage. The whole gig was chaotic, brilliant, sweaty, drunk fun. #totp

Some ideas 1. Abolish the monarchy 2. Abolish the House of Lords 3. Introduce proportional representation 4. Clear limits and full transparency on political donations 5. Performance related pay for MPs if the economy AND public wellbeing are improved during and for five years after their term

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe. 🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations) 🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved... rm.coe.int/letter-to-pa...

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Tom Cruise plays a race car driver. He’s a pretty good race car driver, too. #totp

I feel like I’m trying to listen “around” this chap’s rapping so I can catch what sounds like a decent dance track. #totp

The beat might well be technotronic, but this mix sounds like it was made four doors down from the studio and recorded straight to tape. #totp

Paul Simon is funnier than Chevy Chase in this video. #totp

The dire synth nonsense broker that is Howard Jones is on again. He’d turn up to the opening of a toilet door if it was near the Top Of The Pops studio. That bloke in a mask can do one as well. #totp

The Arch Druid himself! #totp

From Sunday, travelling into Europe gets tougher for Brits. New EU border rules mean fingerprint scans, photo registration and longer queues. This is the real-world cost of Brexit - more hassle, more red tape, more delays.

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday. Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/b...
