It's sad when you don't have the vision to be born into a dynasty. So sad... Losers.

Thank you all for your support

this is incredible. Art is incredible. Science is incredible. Great artists and great scientists are life changing.

Thank you , John

Baroness Jones, "The problem is that labour have not created enough safe managed routes" "If we had safe managed routes people could come here, justify their arrival, start to work, start to pay tax, start to create business" "And actually be a huge benefit to our society"

Twatting around with the planning system won't achieve anything. You need to fund and resource local authorities properly AND embark on a serious council housing building programme. THE PRIVATE SECTOR CANNOT, AND WILL NOT, DELIVER SUFFICIENT HOUSING! ARRRGGGHHH!

'The engineer said there were two options: “Color or cracks.”' 👀

If you're in Stockport on Tuesday, go and see Robin. You won't regret it!

The European Convention on Human Rights protects every single one of us in the UK. Some politicians want to tear up these protections to distract us from the real problems affecting our daily lives.

We always try to get Nine Lessons shows beyond London - it is never profitable but we hope it makes it accessible for others - This year is CARDIFF - but no one seems to want to come - so we will pull it next week if we see that it is going to lose us too much money www.glee.co.uk/performer/ni...

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS… Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’ FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare Please wake up folks.

2 episodes in to #RiotWomen and it is superb. The scene with Nancy asking Holly to take her to her mum and dad's is one of the most moving bits of telly I've seen in a long time... absolute masterclass.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

ltl architects built a #strawhouse with super dense Durra Panels. Literally almost all of it out of straw panels... Look at their #biobased potfolio, it may blow your mind. ltlarchitects.com/biogenic-pro... / www.instagram.com/p/DPWkvW4kST...

How are I? HowamI? Bloomin' heck the new #Partridge is good! #HowAreYou

Finally got round to breaking out the TimKey / EmilyJuniper playing cards I bought during lockdown. Not ideal if trying to maintain a poker face - e.g. King of Spades, and the black hearts don't help 4 cocktails in... Absolutely gorgeous though.

Freddie Flintoff's #FieldOfDreams. Pump it into my veins. Inspirational.

Please don't do this...

I've been meaning to write about me, my family and murder for decades and have finally plucked up the courage... open.substack.com/pub/ferguscr...

"... partisans in Everlast tracksuit bottoms and England tops who paint red crosses on minor street furniture in a bid to expedite the return of Tudor demographics." On the nose, as per.

Don't call it a comeback...

Reform MP says they will negotiate with the Taliban.

Labour take a single atom's breadth step towards the EU, RW tabloids go ape. So why not give them something to properly shout about instead? Leave Farage's hellish immigration battlefield, and refocus the national conversation on rejoining the EU.

Lovely stuff! #Copings

#UniversityChallenge should adopt the #FACup system of qualifying rounds, but it's Oxbridge colleges only, in a Battle Royale until only one from each is left standing. They are then eligible for the "First Round Proper".

It is disturbing to see the quiet around the rise of fascism , the false nobility of pretending this silence is impartiality - also thinking of all those edgy comics whose fake rebelliousness has aided extremism and dehumanisation while they lap up the swill from the millionaires trough

"Bus-pass bastards" #BrokenNews

Beware the gallery openings... #LawlessLondon

"Hypocrisy levels: High". Absolutely hilarious!

Oh hai. Maybe do something about the unsustainable demands of AI and bot farms before you ask the public to delete old family photos.

The police went home: a very different outcome to other protests on the same theme. I'd like to believe Devon & Cornwall Police have now decided the Human Rights Act trumps the proscription of Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act (the two are in direct contradiction). But I'm not banking on it.

Another one for the "Why the hell aren't we already doing this?!!" pile...

#Shithousery doesn't pay! #Lionesses #ENGITA

I know I say this every time, but following the Italian national anthem just showcases what an embarrassment ours is. #Dirge

On it.

"Have Tim Henman killed"

this absolutely outstanding Palladian pile is up for sale and you’re all gonna have to bear with me because this one gets a whole thread www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Whoever picked the end credit tracks for #TheGold. Top marks.

Please, no to asbestos! Some examples of asbestos: - Asbestos table protectors - Building paper - Hot pipe lagging - Interior decoration. Salamander was a fireproof Anaglypta, and originally another competitor to Lincrusta All of these items may still be found, if only in an old box in the garage

"Elon’s genius ... extends little further than his decision to be in the batch of semen his diamond mine owning father ejaculated into his mother." Another belter from the PNGC!

Self check-outs haven't replaced cashier's with machines. They've replaced paid staff with customers. #GrumpyOldMan

I'll briefly explain why you should build and renovate with bio-based materials, even if you don't want to save the climate. #heat #heatstress #heatisland #hitzeaktionstag

I hope everyone who can has watched Louis Theroux’s The Settlers on BBC iPlayer.

If you're a Labour supporter, don't come bleating when they lose in 2029 claiming "nobody could have predicted it" when the problem has already been diagnosed and pointed out many many many times in 2025, 4 years before the vote. You don't get to act surprised after ignoring the issue.

I didn’t know this! Splendid thread. Bottoms up 🥂:

Meanwhile in Spain... "Foreign workers help Spain's economic growth outpace the US and the rest of Europe" "Foreign workers have helped to make Spain’s economy the envy of the industrialized world, even as anti-immigration sentiments grow elsewhere in Europe and in the United States"

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.
