Any celeb who moves to Dubai are tax avoiding scumbags. Confirms to me there was a good reason I always disliked Trump, O'Sullivan and Ferdinand.

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

I hate Netflix. First they ruin dvds, then TV and now they want to ruin cinemas. We've cancelled our subscription. #HandsOffOurCinemas

It’s that time of year again when supermarket staff are wearing Christmas jumpers, Santa hats, and the dead eye looks of people who want every customer dead, whilst their souls slowly drain from their bodies in despair after having to listen to Mariah Carey 487 times per shift.

Watching the President receive the FIFA Peace Prize, I'm struggling to think of a more obvious attempt at placating/grovelling to a tyrannical man-baby than by giving him an entirely made-up award that makes literally no sense whatsoever.

FIFA have essentially politicised football. Unequivocably. Therefore, they have completely lost all rights to sanction any individual player for political protest or display of allegiance on the pitch.

Slovenia also withdrawn

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

taking him into county to sober up

Even people who have concerns about sport or refuge spaces would do well to justify why trans women should be excluded from the Women’s Institute or Guides. Just cruelty and spite. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

seems cruel!!!!

Girl guides announce retirement of their "Friendship" and "Human Rights" badges.

December. The month where mums all over the world start hoarding copious amounts of food they never normally buy, but won't let anyone eat any of it because "It's for Christmas."

God knows I've vehemently disagreed with many politicians in my voting life, but I have honestly never known a generation of politicians so lacking in basic political talent or ethics as this one. Right across the board.

most of adulthood is just marveling at the date and saying how fast the year is going by

France hosted a large musical flash mob featuring 100 musicians who came together to perform a new orchestral version of Carol of the Bells to mark the ceremonial switching-on of the Christmas lights in the streets of Paris.

Fuck yeah, Yorkshire pudding this mug!

I've arrived back in London. I had a nice 9 days away visiting my mum in Liverpool. I saw a couple of shows, had dinner with my niece for her birthday, saw the Christmas decorations & fair in the city, and bought Christmas gifts. Now I'm home with my GF, in time for December.

The Chancellor explicitly references the negative legacy of Brexit on the UK economy - so why is her govt so opposed to taking steps like joining the customs union or single market with all the economic benefits these would bring? #Budget2025

Be far funnier if you did.

If anyone is interested there are three lesbian inclusive Thanksgiving movies: Lez bomb What's Cooking Turkey Drop #Thanksgiving #LesbianMovies

Today I went to see Here & Now at the Liverpool Empire. I'm a Steps fan, so I loved it. Added bonuses of lesbian and gay plots, and drag queen River Medway being fabulous as Jem. I'll never hear Chain Reaction or It's the Way You Make Me Feel in the same way again🌈 #StepsMusical #HereAndNow

It is only 3°C in Liverpool atm 🥶 Luckily, the temp will apparently climb later. Which is good because we're off to see Here and Now at the Liverpool Empire, and I also want to walk around the Christmas Market opposite. I think I'll also go on the Ferris Wheel 🎡

Technology should have stopped advancing exactly 10 years ago, we'd all be better for it

this is abhorrent

The difficult truth is that there is a clear national security element to social media information flows. It can't all be viewed through the single lens of free speech. Disinformation sabotage is a hostile act intended to destablise our societies. Our societies need appropriate protection.

Incredible scenes on BBC Look North.

Miss Norway at the Miss Universe pageant took me out. 10/10, she should guest host New Scandinavian Cooking www.instagram.com/reel/DROqyRn...

3,498 Adult victims waiting to go to court & 1,646 child cases. A total of 71,227 rapes are reported to the police each year. It isn't wrong to cover the news story of 2 Afghan migrants convicted... but in the current climate of anti-migrant hatred plus the ignorance about rape, it's noticeable

what a year we’ve had this week

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance." No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For fucks sake, no part of a cow or pig is called a burger or sausage, it's a shape. Desperate attempts from animal farmers to damage vegetarian food sales. What's next Cadbury's not being able to sell chocolate fingers because that's what Captain Birdseye sells fish as?

I'm spending a week in Liverpool for a early Christmas visit with my mum. Yesterday we went to see The Scouse Christmas Carol. It is a lot of fun. Royal Court Liverpool always puts on good pantos, with plenty of jokes, singing and swearing. #TheScouseChristmasCarol

Classic poster for A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (1946), a film every cinema lover should know. It’s 104 minutes of pure magic from writer-directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger - helped hugely by Jack Cardiff’s beautiful cinematography.

My imaginary friend did this too when I was about 7

I've never been particularly convinced by Drama Centrists who insist Boris Johnson could be back to lead at any moment but I reckon "didn't you personally kill 23k people m8?" probably makes it harder for this already improbable thing to take place.

this is a lazy metaphor, the writers need to do better

Coming tomorrow to digital sale/rental, THE CHRISTMAS WRITER will make its debut on Tello Films' subscription service a month later, on December 18.

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them. What the fuck are we?

Today I went to the cinema to see Christmas Karma. It has such an important message to tell. Reminding us A Christmas Carol is as relevant today as it was in the 1840s. The music was brilliant and it made me actually cry numerous times. I recommend it #ChristmasKarma

This is the logical consequence of Labour’s appeasement of the far right - this is an arms race Labour should never seek to win

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

I pre-ordered The Christmas Writer, so last night we got to watch it a few days early. It is a cute lesbian rom-com. Hallmark done Tello Film style. Get renting or buying it for a xmas lesbian movie fix #TheChristmasWriter #TelloFilms

"It’s an honour and privilege to be able to represent positive queer stories during a time when…LGTBQ+ rights are under attack. Anything we can do to show up, be visible and remain resilient is an absolute WIN.” -Kyana Teresa on THE FIREFIGHTER'S CHRISTMAS WISH www.instagram.com/p/DQ7ThyLEv5...

everything I know about the Nuzzi/RFK Jr affair I have learned against my will

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS. But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS DEFEND THEM!
