Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

They are - literally - sending armed forces so as to take over the museums and libraries.

But this isn’t a done deal yet. With at least a year before cuts come into force, there’s still time for the UK government to rethink. You can help us call for change. Email your MP now action.trussell.org.uk/disability-c...

“There is this terrible misconception that disabled people just take, but actually by taking from us, you prevent us from being able to give – we want to be able to participate in life equally the same as anyone else, and that includes going to work.” Disability campaigner Tanni Gray-Thompson

Princess Elizabeth writes to her sister Queen Mary today in 1554, begging for an audience after she learned that she was being sent to the Tower. She scored the rest of the paper to prevent forged additions. www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/wp-content/u...

Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...

This is truly shameful. Even China and Iran abstained. The US has put itself in the company of some of the worst states in the world - Russia, Belarus, North Korea. Hungary showing its true colours as Russia's Trojan horse in the EU as well.

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

Check it out folks, as the author says, you might not think these are all positive. But you should have heard of them all, and I certainly hadn't. We need to know what the government is actually doing, not just what matches the narrative of the British press

If he'd not been forced to resign in disgrace, Boris Johnson could still be Prime Minister right now based on the 2019 General Election; under UK law he wouldn't have had to call another election until next Tuesday, 28th January.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

You've got to admire how Liz Truss' strategy to stop people from talking about how she crashed the economy has involved purposefully generating an entirely new news cycle about how she crashed the economy

This is an absolute joy 😊

4/ So, WHAT IS IT? Well, on Xmas Eve 2011 people started sending me photos of their sleeping arrangements, often compromised by there being Too Many People At The Inn And Not Enough Beds. I reposted them. A few years later it was given the hashtag #duvetknowitschristmas by someone funnier than me.

Kemi Badenoch: “The Prime Minister appointed a convicted fraudster to be his Transport Secretary. What on Earth was he thinking?” Keir Starmer: “New information came to light. The Transport Secretary resigned. What a contrast with the last 14 years.” #PMQs

The Importance of Being Earnest at the National Theatre. Fabulous night, totally joyous. Ncuti Gatwa and Hugh Skinner play off each other brilliantly and Sharon D Clarke is a legend. LOVED it.
