I'm told GB News accredited half a dozen journalists to attend Green Party conference in Bournemouth - and none of them turned up. As one staffer puts it to me: "It's probably for the best..."

Someone just asked for the new Taylor Swift album...

What? (Digs out copy of CD and prises apart case) Holy Shit!

So the secret is out, by the look of this publicity shot -- Taylor Swift is clearly planning an anniversary multi-Taylor special in which all of her incarnations (including a previously unsuspected one) come together to defeat a deadly foe across Time and Space.

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company, PPE Medpro, has just been ordered to refund the Government £122m from a PPE contract. There are two very odd things about PPE Medpro that may affect the odds of the Government ever getting that £122m... Thread:

BOOM!

open.substack.com/pub/dropsite... Wissam Hamada, the mother of Hind Rajab, and several members of her family safely evacuated from Gaza to a third country on Thursday after protracted negotiations with the state of Israel for her release, a source involved in the exfiltration told Drop Site.

Fantastic jacket... ...and some nice words too, I guess.

Archer and Armstrong not so Valiant for Southampton!

unfortunately, yes he would have wanted this

Bear with me, I anticipate your disagreement. There is a clear pattern to the advice given to those who want to press back against rising racism. What it boils down to is that if you point out that racism is often being dressed up as “legitimate concerns” you will alienate people. /1

1. Trump and his allies have concocted a series of lies about the horrific murder of a 23-year-old woman in Charlotte in a transparent effort to secure an advantage in a critical North Carolina race that could swing control of the U.S. Senate. It's nasty stuff. Follow this thread for details.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

This exchange says it all.

I do think maybe we should be making a bigger deal of the world’s richest man calling for the violent overthrow of British democracy.

I’m sure it’s more complicated than this, but… those numbers do not add up to 46%. (From the FT’s lead story about the CEO of Barclays calling for no new bank taxes and public sector wage restraint) on.ft.com/4nkUnKI

You can keep your sympathy for Mandelson, it's Barry Manilow I feel sorry for.

The half-arsed attempt to cover it up kind of sums up Britain at the moment.

Immigrants are a net good and more people should be saying so. Signed, an immigrant.

Peter Mandelson is only ever 5 minutes away from a scandal that would permanently destroy the career of most other people.

Corporations are the enemy of the people and the Trump Administration is stuffed with their handmaidens.

One year ago today I posted this miniature Aliens photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets... #aliens #scifi #photography

This poem is dedicated to all those who see fit to correct my grammar and spelling on here. It’s called ‘Pedents’.

Following Farage’s announcement that he plans to make “serious cuts to the welfare budgets” if he wins the next election, I’ve seen this claim being repeated from last year’s headlines again. So let’s take a look at the the reality rather than the weaponised version 🧵 1/21

Saw a gig poster for Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich and thought "surely they're all dead" and oh boy this makes the Black Lace timeline look easy. They're onto the 3rd iteration of Mick and Tich, with Beaky the only original, although they did burn through two more Beakys in the 90s and 00s.

Okay so now investigate every MP who owns more than one home to check they followed the rules.

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

Why the fuck is Richard Tice being interviewed on my local (NW) BBC news?

Zionists are trying to use the Holocaust card to silence and smear (or worse) anyone who criticises Israel’s policies. This is Dr Norman Finkelstein’s famous reply to a student who tried to pull the card on him.

🎶I'm sorry Nick Jackson (woo) There is no deal We called off the Bayern loan-to-buy Fly home to replace the injured guy🎶

This is fantastic:

Along with all the other reasons not to use AI the fact that it will narc on you should be enough.

When things go against them Newcastle are a right nasty team.

Podcaster interviews a War Criminal.

Disappointingish @ONS inflation data this morning with CPI up 3.8% in July (3.6% in June), slightly above market expectations. Some of this is erratic airfares, but UK is increasingly looking like an inflation outlier. Thread on on all that to follow…

Handmaidens for genocide

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying. I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

and fuck that Bloodshot writer

I'm not sure, Dan. Could you possibly mean... THIS fist?

'Yes sir, I can boogie!'

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

David Squires on … the Premier League soap opera’s grand return

Got dogpiled on social media for the first time today. I'm just gonna state my case clearly as I can. Kamala was the lesser evil. I genuinely do believe she could have been pushed to at least rein in the Gaza genocide. Trump's incompetence and blatant fascism is objectively worse for everyone. 1/🧵

Why does every sports reporter pronounce Sesko's name like they're drunk?
