I wonder how many death threats the quiet Sadiq Khan has received, as he requires round the clock security because of the targeting he gets from extremists. And who, on our political stage, has done the most to whip up that level of hatred and racism, if it isn’t v loud Farage? (BBC report extract)

The first TV programme that inspired me to read the books 😎👍

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf is currently delivering a speech accusing his party's critics of using language that will put his colleagues' lives at risk. In other news, here's Zia Yusuf two months ago

Quick reminder: £10 billion is TEN THOUSAND MILLION POUNDS

Didn't know Bellingham was from Stourbridge. So why the hell are they playing Wonderwall and not something by Neds, PWEI or the Wonderstuff?

Thanks @cherryredrecords.bsky.social this is the soundtrack to my Summer 🎶😎👍

If art critics talked like football pundits.

For the England game tonight I’ll be taking a drink every time that Sam Matterface comes up with a boring, contrived fact about someone or something. I reckon I’ll be pissed by half time 🙄

Thanks @weare1of100.bsky.social this is gorgeous. And just in time for my trip to the Fêtes maritimes de Douarnenez in a couple of weeks

GUYS - I’ve just realised what Farage is going to do… The thing is he now has NO WAY to proceed which doesn’t humiliate him. If he wins, he is, as Rachel Reeves put it, The Man Who Spent His Summer Arguing With A Bin. If he bails, he’s The Man Who Fled From A Bin. And if he LOSES…

Nigel isn't working. Clacton's better off with @countbinface.bsky.social

👋😎🎶 @glennairey.bsky.social

Gutted that I won’t be able to follow @stuhennigan.bsky.social & @heidijames.bsky.social’s KESHED DEEP DIVE on 2nd July. This is my favourite novel for a long, long time. I was tense and anxious throughout, hoping against hope that my sense of inevitability was wrong. 1/2

Thanks Emma for a thoughtful rebuttal of the Tgraph’s nonsense

I’ve been away. Have I missed anything important? 🤔

This ☹️

Coo ee @brimfulofnasha.bsky.social Hi stranger, hope you’re well 👋😎🎶

Hey (like I said on FB) @nickraybould.bsky.social I’m sooo looking forward to this album ✌️😑🎶

I am sooooo looking forward to this 🥰 🎶😎👍

You were in power for 14 years and cut defence spending in both absolute terms, and as a % of GDP. So get in the fucking sea, you gimlet-eyed plum.

Perfect photo, no notes.

There is no such thing as white privilege. The fact that I walked straight from my £60k a year private education into a City job where my stockbroker father and his rich white mates worked was down to sheer hard graft.

Latest @bylinetimes.bsky.social toon, out in print imminently

Scientists searching for the secret of perpetual motion just need to study how far a football player rolls after they’ve had their ankle tapped.

Wow! ✊😑❤️

Borrowed this from a mate when it came out. Lost touch when we both changed jobs and moved. Seeing him in September for the first time since. I promise I’ll return it 😬

If you’d have told younger me I’d be agreeing with Tarzan…😳

Love its’ angly janglyness and I bet @glennairey.bsky.social does too* *no doubt he’s way ahead of me as usual 🙄

Great to see members of @nightingalesuk.bsky.social and @theverythings.bsky.social in the audience for the amazing gig by @sweetpoolband.bsky.social unleashing their new album at @hareandhounds.bsky.social last night 🎶😎👍

Media sanewashing in action: "tense interview... ended suddenly." Erm, no. It was a madman screaming at a journalist, saying he won an election he didn't, going red (orange?) in the face, calling the journalist "crooked" and "darling", calling every media outlet "crooked", and then walking out.

Coo-ee @cici6923.bsky.social 🥰

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

Why do I have to go to the local news section to find this story? Where are the protests demanding an end to the epidemic of white Brits murdering minorities? Will there be a national debate on the ills of cocaine abuse amongst white men?

📕😎👍

I doubt you’ll be offering this to your customers very soon, eh @bigdannyspencer.bsky.social?

Working hard? Nigel Farage registered ‘absent’ from the last 77 votes in Parliament. UK MP basic salary is £98,599 plus expenses, including second home. Since becoming MP Farage has collected £2m from other jobs. There are questions about his undeclared gifts.

A wonderful evening of old and new tunes from The Very Things at The Castle & Falcon. Not too shabby after a 40-year break!

You’ll be spoilt for (colour) choice @skipratmedia.bsky.social

💚@skipratmedia.bsky.social 💚

Prompted by this article I’m now listening to the album. I don’t have a blacked-out room and clouds of dope smoke but I do have scorching sunshine, birdsong and strong Belgian beer 🎶😎👍

Having seen them twice now, I’m looking forward to seeing them again as soon as I can 🎶😎👍

Released on this day in 1977: God Save The Queen #SexPistols youtu.be/S1O0m9UXAwk?si…

Just in case you’re feeling even vaguely optimistic about anything right now, please note that two UK political parties populated & led by profoundly racist people are currently being described as merely ‘right-wing’ in pretty much every corner of the UK media. This is how the worst stuff happens…

It. Was. A. Motorhome. NOT a Campervan! 🤦
