Jeremy Bowen is having none of it

Have Chelsea put a gold medallion on their kit for winning that Trump thing?

Fulham in real danger of Fulhamming this #spursy

The Real President Of The United States

The goddamned six o'clock news makes sure I keep thinking of World War III

@allownstunts.bsky.social going down ayit

How hard is it to build a bar at the Pentagon?

A Labour leadership with both says "you must listen to these voters who don't share your values and take them seriously" and "you must NOT listen to *these* votes who *do* share your values - their preferred party should be dismissed as extremist" is headed for electoral disaster, and deservedly so.

Time to end the disastrous Kenny Steamer experiment

Also worth noting that Farage was nowhere to be seen last night but had Reform won, he'd have been all over that place like John Terry in his full kit. Another trait he shares with Trump is that he drops people he perceives to be losers like a hot rivet.

Harry Hill has absolutely ruined Andy Burnham for me. I can’t hear his name anymore without going into it

This is turning into an absolute all-timer Friday.

Sad trombone

The right are furious that a white, English tradesperson got elected.

Amazing scenes from Reform, whose strategy from the close of polls seems to be going 'aah, but if there had been a different candidate in another party, we'd have lost to them as well'

Just found out that Britain’s Got Talent is still going

The NPG staged Richard Avedon’s ‘In the American West’ show in 1994ish and it changed how I think about both portraiture and America. There’s a slice of it on now at the Grovsenor Hill Gagosian and I insist you go.

Story checks out

Delighted to announce that following the consultation, I'm giving the green light to make Oxford Street traffic-free.

Uh-oh

At last some good news

First appearance of the series for Stouffer in this week’s #podscarf

Heard an incredible record in a shop yesterday, sort of like an Arabic surf band but there was a bloke with a strong London accent muttering barely decipherable chat over the top of it. Blew my mind. Couldn’t believe how good it was.

Slint "Breadcrumb Trail" live soundcheck 8-25-1989 at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick , NJ. This could go on for another 20 mins at least. youtu.be/QCnAOPRvlPg?...

If Mandelson was planning to leg it to the British Virgin Islands and Hoyle knew because he went there last week, the first time a Commons Speaker has visited, that is incredibly bad luck on Mandelson’s part.

Just seen Nomeansno’s ‘Wrong’ priced at £90 in a Margate record shop #Wrong

Sun’s out and I have the day off. Potentially a big day for the #cans economy.

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

Worth noting his objection to no fault divorce. I worked a bit on the campaign for that, and one of the striking things with the scholarship was the evidence that demonstrated allowing it led to a drop in suicides of married women.

#thefootball tonight is total slapstick

This is how you deal with these cunts

a year is a long time in politics

Peter REMANDelson more like. #morelike

there's a nugget here which helps to explain Brown's character and why he was so incensed by the allegations against Mandelson from their time in office

Obviously there’s no percentage in pointing out inconsistencies or picking an argument here but, you know,

A part of Akinola Davies Jr's speech the BBC decided not to air

Sal Buscema (1936-2026)

BBC2 off-air of the Alexei Sayle episode from "Comic Roots". Aired 26th Aug 1983 and repeated twice more since (far as I can tell, once in 1984 and again in 1991). This seems to be a betamax transfer from the original broadcast. Lovely! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rstb...

I saw one of the most important shirts I’ve ever seen last night

Number 6 in this thread

Attention Groovers! Past his best maybe, but Gene V still looks and sounds terrific in this slightly daft 1962 clip from Richard Lester's It's Trad, Dad! - however, the tantalisingly brief glimpses of the hip British beatniks are just as great... www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFhT...

A book I would definitely read, from The Onion’s round up of inspirational titles for 2026

NOW DO MANDELSON

Nice to think that Plod will be talking to everyone who’s had to do Andrew’s security or PA work because they’ll all HATE him
