A defection should trigger a by-election

Classic story of man caught cheating with his hands in the photocopier and runs to mistress claiming he left his wife for her.

Have now seen Hamnet, in Stratford and I’m in bits.

That dog should have his seatbelt on #bttf

Re watch of Back to the Future after many years and realising Trump grew out of Biff’s forehead.

BBC news website trolling with a photo likely to turn up on the cover of Private Eye-caption competition alert

I know I keep going on about this play of ours, but I’m so proud of it! It’s on bbc sounds for a few more days - my radio 4 play about Bowie. I hope you’ll like it! X www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

The Archersis now too Emmerdale for me. Will no one think of the sheep?

The weather app says 84% chance of rain. The solar panels are active. This is the right side of wrong.

The weather is currently not doing anything.

@paulmagrs.bsky.social thank you -wiping my eyes here. It made so much sense.

I’m not crying you’re crying -The Goblin King and Me -listen to it now.

Currently listening to The Goblin King and Me. By @paulmagrs.bsky.social and so lovely to hear Mr James Bolam and Susan Jameson ❤️ congrats to all the behind the scenes team too.

Posting again just to underline the fact that the X algorithm is VERY CLEARLY DESIGNED to feed far right material to new users… It is straight up a propaganda tool and decent people need to LEAVE it.

Which revolution will come first?

Society lost something when carparks starting asking for your car registration. Yes it was technically fraud, but passing on your non expired ticket to a grateful stranger as you left the car park was one of life's simple joys.

Who knew that tech bro would become an insult.

Can someone tell Sir Keir to start thinking about ordering in takeaway for tonight’s dinner?

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum. All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply). The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”. Extract in the replies.

The funniest news I’ve read today is about Greggs changing its menu because of weight loss jabs. 🌭🍩

So that’s the Nobel Peace prize added to the trash pile.

A day for making cheese scones and forgetting to add the cheese. A day for making cheese-topped scones.

It is hilarious* that UK gov ministers are insisting they need to keep posting on X - a platform run by a far-right warmongerer that enables the mass production of child sex abuse material and industrial harassment of women - because they're nostalgic for their Blue Tick Twitter days *not hilarious

I’m willing to give the kids swimming certificates to Trump if it shuts him down.

This is Chili. He was invited to his first doggy pool party. Quickly learned he really, realllly likes doing belly flops. 13/10 (TT: goldenchilidog)

In the good old days of Twitter people helped out those who were stuck due to travel issues like #storms

We should just talk about the weather on here.

I suggest turning off video auto-play today. Go to profile, settings, content/media and make sure the toggle is pushed left.

Somebody always builds an igloo

It's telling, isn't it, that Protection Officers are still required for Hen Harriers in northern England. Good opportunity here for some important raptor conservation fieldwork. Closing date for applications: 30 Jan 2026. #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/01/07/j...

If you feel helpless today find something that you normally buy from the US and cancel it.

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego. Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.

It was a bloody, unconstitutional, illegal armed rebellion and insurrection that killed or maimed many and was orchestrated by Donald Trump and his top allies in and out of Congress—and history will for centuries express astonishment that Trump wasn't imprisoned for life over it.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Danish guy gets it

In the name of free speech no one in the UK should be using Xitter.

Woman arrested live on air by Donald Trump's thugs just because she says she doesn't want her tax dollars used to commit war crimes in Venezuela. This is far worse repression than they have in Venezuela.

A reminder that people of all ages have strokes.

Glorious!

As we are seeing in America, if you don't get it over the line, if you don't make it law, it can easily be reversed. I hope all ecologists and gardeners get behind this now - 2026 is the year to get this legislation through parliament. actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

If charities collected my stuff the house would be empty by now. It just ends up in my boot for ages 😫

Remember when they housed virtually every homeless person in the UK during Covid? In the space of about a week? It could have been done all along and still could be. Also, in the long run, it’s just cheaper to give people houses, but we don’t seem to be ready for that one yet.

Donald Trump confirms that US companies will look after Venezuela's oil for them and hand control back just as soon as it has all been safely extracted and sold.

For 175 years, public libraries, despite often steeply declining Govt support, have served the educational, information and entertainment needs of the general public. Staffed by a committed national family of workers determined to transform the life chances of some 7.3mill people.Oh, and it's free.
