Teaching the Czechs that homophobia comes with penalties #COYS

Want a fun and very generous game, then visit the big give website and filter by ‘nearest target’. And know donating £5 or £10 will be the difference between a charity making something special happen or not. Someone will dance around their office thanks to you. donate.biggive.org/christmas-ch...

I was with some of the James Place team last week, hearing example after example of men’s lives being saved. More than that. The moment someone is referred, they’re offered some help. Many men said it was the first time they felt optimistic someone would actually listen or be there. Please give.

We're so close to reaching our target of £35,000 — enough to provide free, life-saving therapy for 18 suicidal men.

It's your last chance to double your life-saving donation at www.bit.ly/doortohope (🔗 link in bio) before midday tomorrow (Tues 9th December). Please help keep the #DoorToHope open for suicidal men. 💙 Only donations up to our target of £35,000 will be doubled.

I promise I’m not on commission, it’s was just that much fun. In London over Christmas? Go and see Pinocchio at the Globe. Lucinda’s review nails it. www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/d...

Three favourites on the tree this year. Obvs the Spurs cockerel. Plus two new ones from the Globe.

Pinocchio at the Globe. Wow. Absolutely hilarious. A wonderful blend of puppetry with stage craft. Constantly breaking the fourth wall, beautifully produced. Go and see it this Christmas. With the kids, on your own, whatever. You won’t regret it.

Provisions have arrived for our Christmas Eve Eve Eve / last night of Chanukah party. I also have a tonne of non alcohol, but I’ve got to admit it just doesn’t look as sexy.

Twat

Because the football feed is covering the draw it allows up and downvotes, thrilling stuff

Don’t get me started on seatbelts. Imagine the reaction today.

www.johnlewis.com/sage-barista... If you’re keen on coffee and want a decent machine. Then this is a real Black Friday deal. £450 for this model is very very good. Rare to see it under £500. Often £600 plus. I’ve had one for 6 years and love it. Never looked back.

Fill your timeline with some seasonal cheer 🎄 Here's a starer pack (remember those?) of accounts running digital advent calendars. Includes 10 accounts (so far) @rspb.bsky.social @levparikian.bsky.social @annelouiseavery.bsky.social @lbflyawayhome.bsky.social @clothofnature.bsky.social +

This is brilliant. For me these pictures also illustrate the reaction of people when you (try to) persuade them through data vs persuade them through narrative

The highest paid MP in the country has suggested that the minimum wage may be “too high” for younger workers 🤷

This song is ridiculous. You’re literally from Woolwich.

Channeling this today. Thanks @caesarflunk.bsky.social

Next up, Sir Harold of Tottenhamshire...The noise when this went in was something else. #COYS

As the official Spurs account isn't here to post some of the great #NLD goals, I'll step up to the plate. First up, Mr Danny Rose. #COYS

Oh when the Spurs

Last year I plastered flags on his house. This year he’s on it like a car bonnet. NLD rivalry is more fun than the game.

I don’t like watching the NLD, it’s just a 90 minute stress fest. But I do like acting like a child before it and wearing any Spurs clobber I can while going about my business. North London is White, don’t let them forget it. COYS.

The 12 year old boy didn't feel safe in his room, he called Childline. The phone rang, and rang, and rang. It rang for over 40 minutes… If you've heard me give a plenary speech, you might know the impact that boy had on my life and career. My phone reminded me this photo is 8 years old today. 🧵

Enjoyed @natashadevon.bsky.social & @zackpolanski.bsky.social exploring what really going on for our country’s teenagers Reflected concerns we found in Good Childhood Report www.childrenssociety.org.uk/information/... Agree it’s time for bold thinking & action! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

A five year old will take one weekend of cartoons to watch ten McDonald’s adverts. That same five year old will be applying for their drivers licence by the time they watch ten healthy food adverts. An excellent (replicable) way of turning $2million v $750million into a sticky statistic.

"This energy!!!" 👏👏👏👏 Zack Polanski joins Rizzle Kicks out on stage in Bristol

Autumn in London. A city that’s both shinier and greener than you realise.

Don’t get excited. Don’t get excited. Dont get excited. Also me…

I’ve always rated every single one of these players and the manager is a tactical genius

It’s VdV time…

92 clubs in the English top flight, we our home form is 91st worst. We have the easiest place to play at in the country. Most clubs are more likely to win here than their own ground. I know our stadium is a wonderful hospitality venue, but this is taking it too far.

Which one is more English?

This investigation by @skynewsrss.bsky.social, using an LLM to show how X's algorithm pushes right-wing posts on its users, is an excellent piece of data journalism. Particularly impressed by how they've visualised the data to make it easier to understand news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Should have scrapped these six years ago when Lucas Moura proved how rubbish the Ajax defence was. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Smile. There’s positive news in the world today. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That was actually a really enjoyable night watching Spurs play at home. I can’t remember the last time I said that. Excellent entertainment. Lovely. #COYS

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

Severndroog castle and farmers market. Resplendent today. The view from the top is extraordinary, I love the bucket of free to use binoculars to help make the most of it. #SE18 at its finest.

Fellow Tottenham Hotspur fans, forgive us but we’ve made these 💙 It seemed a good idea at the time. Apologies to all concerned. Oh and you can buy them below if you’d like to make a poor life choice x Shared appreciated! #COYS 🛒 noscoredraws.com/collections/...

43 year old James is a dad of one from Hackney and works in a school. He came to James' Place London earlier this year for help after finding himself in suicidal crisis triggered by flashbacks from childhood and racial trauma. Read his story at jamesplace.org.uk/james-story-2/ #suicideprevention

Not the result you want but good to see some slick passing, Spence is such a joy to watch. I like the link up with Sarr, Xavi and Johnson. RKM has looked good. Danso too. Porro putting great balls in. Bergvall commanding. Encouraging.

Autumn in Greenwich Park. Love it.

One for #FundraisingBlueSky. Give a supporter of your charity some joy today. You won’t regret it.

Spurs are in for a painful rebuild. I don’t like the football we’re playing. I don’t like some of the results. And I certainly don’t like seeing them lot doing well. Is this just the ‘painful’ part of painful rebuild. “Give TF time.” I keep telling myself. Even though I don’t want to.

HAPPENING NOW: A MASSIVE crowd of protesters flood the streets of San Diego for a “No Kings Day” rally showing their love for America and standing up against the corrupt fascist Trump administration. look how huge it is

Can you imagine how Soros is going to feel when the bill for all these #NoKings protesters arrives? I mean we know he's loaded, but still....

#NoKings Miami!

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings
