Send the Evergreen down the Strait of Hormuz

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

if you ever thought hey that straight dating reality tv show would be more fun with a little bisexuality I wrote that for you and it came out yesterday happy reading x

Pretty much.

Genuinely kind of disturbing how little attention has been paid to Israeli officials explicitly promising to do unto southern Lebanon what they did to Gaza

“…a wide range of debilitating conditions may not meet the strict eligibility criteria, despite them often leaving someone unable to work. This includes multiple sclerosis, learning disabilities, bipolar, Parkinson’s, ME and long Covid.” 📣📣📣

Erm?

Pretty sure a lot of people claiming asylum from Sudan, Afghanistan and Myanmar are “genuinely fleeing danger”.

Oooo ooo I have an unpopular opinion but there’s not an unpopular opinion thing going around. Nonetheless, here it is: I hate the sound of bird song & find it extremely annoying!! I enjoy them otherwise but I wish all the birdies would stop their chitter chatter.

Basically a handful of people will have to look at some solar panels, and the UK will have a huge domestically produced, clean energy boost. In the middle of an oil crisis which has shown, again, the risks of fossil fuel dependence.

I have just made a variation of chocolate cornflake cakes, but replaced cornflakes with crunchy nut clusters AND bashed up party rings, plus added maple syrup to the chocolate and finally sprinkled it with dinosaur sprinkles. I think I might be a God.

Get the bishops out of the House of Lords!

And they said it was unbecoming to replace the famous people on bank notes with wildlife. Feeling foolish now aren't you?

Cn: rape

I mean the clue was in the name. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The light half of the year is here, everyone!!!

Israel is currently killing an average of 8 children in Lebanon every single day. Since March 2, 2026, Israel murdered 111 children in Lebanon.

Playing this on repeat.

I have been knee deep in deadline chaos for weeks and weeks now, but have got back my mark for the first bit of work handed in this term, and it’s 80 🥳

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

I think I may have cracked it

I visited Krakow in 2020 with friends, and some people there displayed the most anti Black racism I have ever witnessed in a European city. Multiple instances of my friend being harmed - too many for it to just be ‘unlucky’. And let’s not forget Poland’s anti LGBT laws. Horrid place unfortunately.

The number of cancer deaths worldwide has more than doubled since the 1980s. Does that mean we're losing the fight against cancer? Not necessarily, because it depends on how you measure it. On this chart, you can see three ways to look at the same data. 🧵

The day American imperialism stops affecting every corner of the globe, the day we simply will not care an enough ask! It is simply undemocratic that we don’t globally get to vote in US elections tbqh!

Travelodge? The letting a man into a woman’s room to sexually assault her Travelodge? Turning away vulnerable women who had rooms booked late at night? What a shame it would be if nobody stayed there ever again. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

One and a half million people are killed by animals every year. Almost one million by other animals, and more than half a million from direct conflict among ourselves. Almost all of these deaths from other animals are caused by just two types: mosquitoes and snakes.

CN: sexual violence www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... My reading of this is that not only have travelodge not changed the eir policies in response to this, the article essentially then acts as a ‘how to’ for anyone who wants to do the same. 😐

If you are visiting glorious Brighton on this sunny day (as you definitely should), please be aware that at Churchill Square this van is live scanning everyone’s faces and making the city look more like a police state than the gorgeous day out it is!

yeah. therapy with a human person involved is not always a 'gold standard' especially if that human person is an idiot.

No matter where you are, they’re using the same playbook

When reading my nephew Thomas the Tank Engine, I make sure to remind him trains can’t talk at the end of every page.

Can I signal that I’m anti war by eating French Fries, or is that too 2003?

Go home Facebook, you are drunk.

Timeline clense

Labour would have been fine with Reform winning Gorton and Denton because they would have claimed it validated their anti-immigrant and anti-trans policies and doubled down. Very happy that the message was clear: You should have treated people with respect and basic decency.

PSA to all people: hire women/ nbs! (Evidence shows that if women are assertive they are perceived as aggressive; if they ask for too much they are pushy rather then ambitious. The onus shouldn’t be on women to change - the onus should be on all of us to check we aren’t applying double standards).

How does one regulate the sexual economy, I wonder?* *silly answers only please, I am aware of the Nazi-esque ways to do this.

Science is wild and great! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

That discourse exists at all around what happened at the BAFTAs is evidence of how badly this has been handled. All parties involved deserve understanding and empathy, neither at the expense of the other. It should not have been broadcast, it should not have been allowed to become public debate.
