At this rate, the government will be tucking us in and checking if we’ve eaten our greens. Nanny statism has gone too far. The government isn’t our parent.

There has to be something done with regards blatant lies and misdirection like this. It has brainwashed so many and has been so toxic to our country for years. Does the regulator not do anything? Can Labour do nothing? SM a cesspit they can't control. Print should at least have some standards no?

Newspapers should be required to publish the full context in the same size font. If they get something wrong, they should be required to publish an apology in the same size font, and for the same length the story ran.

This is bollocks if you accept the idea that people need to look at the words around the headline. It says "Mr Farage said the claim was an 'insult' to millions..." This implies there was a claim by Starmer.

Should have been in quotes then. And described as inaccurate, or a pile of stinking bullshit ‘in newspaper parlance’.

Why do so many people not have a washing up bowl!? Gnash.

I've NEVER bought a box of tissues. EVER. I pretty much only blow my nose when I have a cold. If I do need to blow my nose, I just use toilet paper. Am I the only one?

The Cranks, over 2 years later and in front of a much older audience. Lots of laughs. Much better than I remembered!

People in the 90/00s loved to be interviewed in front of oil slicks.

Another likely casualty of the UK Online Safety Act - Imgur has blocked the UK. That’s going to be a lot of broken images across the web for UK viewers on many sites.

Ummm Imgur was just blocked in the UK?? good thing we don't utilize imgur in any of our video gamoh wait fuck

I've been desperate to tell you for months, but I had to keep it under wraps until I found out what was happening. Thank you for your kind words. You're very supportive. I love you lots. We're all going to die. But if you're here now, it's never too late to change the ending.

I applied to be a writer for SNL UK but got rejected. One of my dream jobs, so I was tad disappointed. But guess what? It's not the end of the world. I will keep going. I love writing and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do it as a career. ❤️

If anyone here has actually got medication/treatment for mental health on the NHS, please tell me HOW?! I often feel like I'm driving a car but with no control over the speed. I go either 10mph (and I want to go faster), or 100mph (exciting, until I realise I can't slow down). It's frustrating.

Saturday night at the Albert Hall was a real blast for me. Luckily they all came! Thank you for being a terrific audience who laughed and sang along and left me with a huge Standing O and an evening of great emotional memories. Thank you Virtual Band for turning up with Prof Brian & taking a bow.

I accidentally swallowed the Scrabble tiles T, Y, O, U, N, O. I shit you not.

All Those Years Ago...

Henley On Thames

Eric's show at the Royal Albert Hall yesterday.

I found it quite funny at the time. Funnier in real life. An inspiration for part of my next film I think.

Walked past a house in Fulham yesterday that had a note near the door "Please clean up your dog poo" The note was so low to the ground, it felt like it was aimed at the dogs themselves.

*closes door too hard* *Bottom of the car falls apart* What is my life, a comedy? Apparently it's just cosmetic and to stop dirt so it's been hot glued back tougher 😍.

Check out the numbers signing this…. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

It is soo depressing seeing how this Labour government is pandering to the Far Right / Reform UK narrative instead of sticking to their historic values (which they were voted in for)! 🤮

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

Can somebody sit Starmer down and force him to read this every day until he understands what it's telling him please? @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is no trust in British democratic institutions. A right wing labour government with ID cards? Even more horrifying, the prospect of a Reform one in 2029 with ID cards? Nope. Not once. No chance. Nobody wants this.

If we were in any other country, I generally wouldn't have an issue with this. My real issue is that they’ll tie it to things like internet access and abuse the data. They denied they were going to do this last year. I don’t trust them NOT to abuse it down the line.

I do hope Fujitsu win the contract. They did ever so well with the Pst Office system!

I can see the arguments for it. But: What recourse does the public have if it gets hacked? Is this going to be another over-budget IT fiasco? Which private sector contractor is about to make bank? What safeguards are in place to prevent abuse by future governments? Police powers to demand it?

I love the kind of friendship that still feels close, even though you sometimes don‘t talk for longer stretches of time. Those that pick off right where you left it, as if no time had passed.

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

What a wonderful piece of trivia...

The morale of the story: Always stand up to bullies!!

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

I'm so lucky to be exhausted from doing something I love. But volunteering 5 days a week and then having a 'regular' job on weekends is so exhausting, even if that regular job is only 8-1.

The Sound of Music 60th Anniversary I hadn't actually watched it all the way through before, just little clips. Outstanding stuff. #tsom60 #thesoundofmusic

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

7 down now, 1 to go... IT. GETS. EASIER. I think that mantra applies to almost everything.

This is very funny. Something similar happened to me at Singapore airport. I was tired, crooked and couldn't understand their accents. youtu.be/soO9baCk5lY?...

Woke up, had a panic attack... But just done my first callback of the day and it went well. 1 down, 7 to go.

Came with a stew infuser... we are just using them as containers to hold dehumidifier beads. What can I use these for? Give me ideas. My ears aren't pierced...
