I the Verisure advert why didn't the woman phone the ambulance direct instead of wasting time phoning Verisure instead? Maybe she didn't want her husband to survive the chest pains?

So, the usual routine. #petrolprices go down on rumours of a deal, then the firing starts up again and the prices will rocket again.

ASTON VILLA ARE IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL!!! #AVFC

Don't think there is a more watchable, intense player than John McGinn. Emery's most trusted players are standing up tonight. Ferocious effort. #AVFC

If there are between 10 000 to 100 000 cases of Hantavirus annually, why then are the current cruise ship cases being reported on some much?

This is the first election ever I will not be voting in and it is purely down to losing my Voter ID.

I used to have political convictions but then I got scolded by John Roberts. That’s an important part of his job. Now I see that it’s time for me to listen and learn.

The “Ukraine aid” myth just ran into a simple number. ㅤ Blinken said every U.S. dollar for Ukraine was matched by $1.50 from Europeans and others — and much U.S. spending stayed in America to buy weapons or replenish stocks. ㅤ That is not free-riding. That is an alliance.

First, we denigrate, tariff, and threaten other countries. Next we deploy a thuggish state paramilitary force to arrest anyone they think looks foreign, frequently violating basic rights. Then we make travel a lot more expensive with a war of choice we can’t fix. Hey, why aren’t you coming here?

I've been bingeing "Hacks" the US tv series and I find the episode in which our heroines respectively date a rock star in his 30s and a male sex worker to be redressing the imbalance between the sexes somewhat. It's quite absurd though. I also could've written that sentence better.

Something something

Based on Ofcom's own figures, the odds of them upholding a complaint nowadays are less than 1 in 3,000... And since 2009/10 there's been a *tenfold* drop in the number of breaches it has found each year. We all deserve better from Ofcom: stopfundinghate.info/get-involved...

Add lying under oath to his list of wrongdoings and crimes.

An oldie but goodie

NEW: Weekend News Agents A story which hasn’t had as much attention as it should. How did Reform become so financially dependent on one Thailand based crypto billionaire? And why did that donor personally gift Farage £5m? Listen now podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Apparently there's a Bramley Apple fan club.

I can't find one video showing how to take stachys byzantina cuttings. #stachysbyzantina

Irony has never ben strong in the usa has it? #internationalextortion

German SPD, Greens, and Linke will stop posting on X. An important step and signal. X and its owner have long become a megaphone for the far right, a venue that is actively used to encourage abuse and violence. It‘s simply shameful how many in politics, media, and academia still actively post there.

It's all going to be about relegation zone Spurs on #BBCFootball this evening isn't it? Not high flying, European competitive #AstonVilla I hope Villa win and Spurs go down.

It's not me is it? #BBCNews is ludicrously right wing with it's reporting.

In the first two days, people have entered my raffle with eligible donations totalling over €400. A good start, but let’s keep it up! As long as you have an EU address, every new Ukraine-related donation counts. You could win this unique TRML-4D patch with a €3 donation, and every donation matters.

Council leader John Cotton has announced that a deal to end the bin strikes is "within sight." From the Council House, Cotton said he believes an offer to address "ballpark issues" discussed at ACAS can be made. Video below:

If you bought one of Gail’s T shirts, you could be as cool as me. I know, you wouldn’t think that was possible, would you? But it can be…

'Richard Tice’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.' You couldn’t make it up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Will #fortbenning 's name change again when this regime falls? It must cost a bit to keep changing the letterheads etc.

The lady next door, who has fallen out with every other neighbour, has turned her attention to me. I put up some bee hotels on our shared fence again, they were there all last year, but she took offence as she noticed me doing it. She stewed overnight then demanded they come down off "her" fence.

Ed Miliband has said he'll “double down, not back down” on government’s clean energy mission in the face of critics calling on him to change course The Energy Sec said "solar panels, heat pumps and EVs are not woke, or a left-wing conspiracy, or even a Marxist plot. They're actually common sense"

Natural England failing to protect valuable sites. Our report for @wildjustice.bsky.social shows that nearly 2/3 of sites waiting to be designated as SSSIs were under threat from development. One site in Thurrock will be directly destroyed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We have a similar problem in NI: not only are new SSSIs not designated, the agency responsible does not have the resources or staff to effectively monitor existing ones and enforce management conditions. Our most important sites are allowed to disappear, particularly vulnerable grasslands.

15 minutes; no questions; government got the blame; my department to have 60% of us sacked. Apparently sacking us will lead to a ‘new, improved’ curriculum. No voluntary scheme, straight to selection and legal minimum redundancy payment.

“People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial…they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.” Kenneth Clark, ‘Civilisation’.

Not enough people are talking about this. Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

The main thing I've taken from the footage of the Japanese quake is that the person who owns that restaurant in Yamagata prefecture ought to clean his plans (if it was purely due to spillage during the event). If it was due to the quake then apols. I'd eat at your place anyway, food looks good.

David Attenborough takes on PHEASANTS! “Native to Asia, but now released into our countryside on an industrial scale, over 30 million every year… eating vast numbers of insects, reptiles and amphibians every day.” Time for the Government to regulate this out-of-control industry #SecretGarden

Brighton should've won. Can't wait until Spurs go down!

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint! www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedb...

Bereaved family members of Covid victims write to Nigel Farage urging him to sack his Croydon candidate who said COVID was a "staged event" by the US military, with vaccines used to control the population. Reform has not responded to our story revealing his views bylinetimes.com/2026/04/15/r...
