Three weeks without a Reform representative on Laura Kuenssberg! Anyone would think we were avoiding questions about election fraud, MEPs taking Russian bribes, me being a racist bully at school, Reform officials calling LBGT people nonces or my dodgy house purchase.

Boyzone with a beige song for you there. Even this gif is more interesting. #totp

You know what I enjoyed about the last iOS update? Not much. The ugly fonts were a shock, but not actually being able to play anything on Apple Music - their own app! - or get BBC Sounds to work was a poor show. That did not help my long train journey home today.

Webinar: BCS Author Webinar Series 2025 - An hour with Mark Pesce, author of Getting Started with #ChatGPT and AI #Chatbots Tuesday 16 December, 12:30pm - 1:30pm buff.ly/5dSzgeY

The BCS’ Gender Diversity in Tech Sector Report 2025 reveals women now make up 22% of UK IT specialists - a 1% rise - but half a million remain ‘missing’ if gender parity matched the wider workforce.

Yeah but we only invented marshmallows 4000 years ago (true story) so what was the point?

I spoke in Parliament today to challenge the misinformation from those claiming this tribunal as a 'win' for the anti-trans agenda. In fact it found Ms Peggie harassed a colleague for being trans, and it dismissed almost all her claims. It also found that trans segregation is not supported in law.

People should note that Voloshyn tried to disguise Gill’s bribes as ‘media payments’ Do we know how much Farage received for his regular appearance on RT/Russia Today around the time of Brexit?

As predicted here, this is a long-term unfair advantage for Google. What publishers call the "devil's bargain." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

TVCA and the mayor put more spades in the ground than the WWII “dig for victory campaign”. I swear we should have levelled the Cleveland Hills by now if any of it was true.

The Police Digital Service (PDS) has announced a new partnership with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, aimed at enhancing digital capability, professional standards, and career development across UK policing. #digitalskills #UKPolicing #UKPolice buff.ly/b0i2jn7

I’m old enough to remember when Kwasi Kwarteng refused to allow the Office for Budget Responsibility to assess the economic impact of a budget. The fair and balanced reporting from the noble British press is illustrated below.

Here’s my hot take on the Rachael Reeves story. There isn’t one. I thank you.

👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽 Music to my ears. ~AA

BOOM! The 100,000 signatures threshold was passed for this petition. Why this should be of interest for non-British citizens? Russia has influenced every single democratic process in Europe AND in America. In the absence of functional government in the US, there is a chance that UK will expose Putin

Bob’s salmon! #gonefishing #MortimerAndWhithouse

Sad to hear of Tom Stoppard’s death. Reading and watching Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead was one of the formative experiences of my A-Levels. I taped the film when it was on Ch4’s Moviedrome and watched it repeatedly.

Removing the two-child limit accounts for less than 1 per cent of social security bill. To remove 450,000 children out of poverty, that's pretty good return on investment.

Campaigned for Brexit. Campaigned for Scottish independence. Worked alongside Nigel Farage and convicted criminal Nathan Gill as an MEP for UKIP. Now showing true patriotism by stalling his Citroen outside of his chateau in France. Reform are not your friends. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With apologies for posting a reel on the Instas here, but this is truly what we’re seeing here on #totp this Friday night. www.instagram.com/reel/DRBPjo0...

To quote the Shooting Stars club singer round: WHAT ABOUT CHICKENS? #totp

Simply Red there, with a jiggy little number about knocking someone up behind the waltzers. #totp

Hey, everyone! It’s the awful Blur song, and now let’s have the terrible Oasis track. Britpop had eaten itself by this point, hadn’t it? I still believed in it, though. We still had Supergrass. #totp

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Pulp for the win tonight. #totp

Got in late. Put #totp on. Darts and Leo Sayer followed by cosplaying Legs & Co. Oh, fuck right off.

Not a Superbowl. Just a half time show worthy of one. Jack White and Eminem nailing it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk5l...

Somehow this got missed off the "Benefit Street" front pages today

I’m quietly proud of the fact that, last night, I tied a bow tie without using YouTube for the first time ever, and it looked okay. It’s the little things that make me happy.

Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

A former RSPB chief just voted against £30 swift bricks that could help save a collapsing species.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

In case you missed it ... Brexiters swore we'd stay in the Single Market and that the EU would let us cherry pick whatever we wanted. If people had known they were lying before the ref, Brexit would have been rejected. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

If only the party he led hadn’t cut the NHS to the bone and given us 14 years of austerity policies, maybe we could all be screened and treated quickly? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you really want to understand the difference between English (US) and English (UK), play the ‘Pinpoint’ word game on LinkedIn. Phrases unheard of outside of the US are more common than you would possibly imagine.
