Pope Leo absolutely cooking

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I ENTIRELY understand why a party way to the left of Labour needs to exist. I have NO IDEA why it needs to be Your Party, other than ego. The Greens are RIGHT THERE. Corbyn will be 78 at the next election. And it's a shambles. Give up, lads. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Unexpected, late-start @highburyfieldsparkrun - wonderful! Full details of my adventure coming soon to @runcompod. (Literally) caught up with @pizzyl and other parkrun pals. Well done them, all the other runners, and of course thank you marshals…

Just over a week til the gig of the season! #ZoltarSpeaks @theoldivyhouse

Happy Fenton Day to all who celebrate. Jesus Christ, fourteen years. youtu.be/3GRSbr0EYYU

Rehearsing. #ZoltarSpeaks @theoldivyhouse, Nov 22nd.

we're talking about the editing of one clip in one documentary. Not Waffle the Wonderdog barking 'up the Commies' in the after school club. There doesn't need to be a cultural shift in the BBC. there needs to be a shift in the deranged way we look at it, and our expectations of the service.

i feel like this is a reasonable take that i would have held pre-2024 (the BBC did screw up therefore there should be accountability) but the fact that this trivial editing mistake should have such terrible consequences, while right wing media lies with impunity constantly, makes my head explode

The Tory member and former election candidate that Boris Johnson appointed as DG of the BBC in order to make it more right-wing is now not right-wing enough to be DG of the BBC. Couldn't really ask for a clearer example of the Overton window being pushed rightward, could you?

NAUGHTY: Doctoring footage to imply Trump incited the 6 Jan riots COMPLETELY FINE: Freeing all the rioters being pretty much the first thing he does in office okaaaay gotcha en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_...

The famously left-wing bias of the BBC. (From The Decade In Tory)

I’ve never met a girl like you before.

If it was me id have said "sure I'll apologise and resign, as soon as he apologises for lying about white South African farmers. Or about the extra judicial killings of 'drug dealers'". Integrity of the BBC lol. What about the integrity that comes with being a head of state?

Mornin’ - Happy Monday.

🎬 The arts aren’t a luxury - they’re an export. At #Lab25, @aiannucci.bsky.social reminds us that the UK’s Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy and 7% of our workforce - the GDP equivalent of oil + car industries combined. 🎥 Watch more clips from the Creative UK Pavilion hubs.ly/Q03QVhV90

Voting for Reform is asking for neglect. If you are a politician but you can't successfully communicate this clear message get another job www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

29 years ago today, Jamiroquai released the music video for 'Virtual Insanity'

We sounded good today! But don’t take my word for it - join us on Sat 22nd at the @theoldivyhouse. 8pm! Free! Plus ace support from @pottsmusic! #ZoltarSpeaks

Reform are into Day Three of Racismsplaining. It's harder than it looks. thecritic.co.uk/easy...

Who’s coming to this? The event of the season! Please share.

Think one of the key things why adverts are such a thing with them is that people in ads are usually enjoying themselves and having a nice life; seeing non-white people be happy is something that drives your typical racist absolutely mad

Conversation about what the hell’s going on with my hair will not be entered into at this time…

Denied a swim by Amy, @juliadeering got an action shot of me instead, so here’s me before, during and after Hampstead Heath parkrun. Thank you marshals, well done fellow parkrunners, Happy Saturday all.

About time consequences were faced for the PPE scandal… But why only Michelle Mone? £15b worth of contracts were flagged with a corruption risk So where’s the rest of them? And what about the Tory ministers who greenlit that institutionally corrupt VIP lane?

No sponsors so far…

There is a...magnificence...to this
