Anyway, here’s Cliff Richard with his leathered rapturous renditions of Thief In The Night and I Wish We’d All Been Ready. youtu.be/Jbbx7w4zohM?...

And today's main story once again...

Here's a #cartoon that didn't make it... #racists #flagshaggers

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds open.substack.com/pub/kellnerp...

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Not wholly surprising that he's never met a scientist.

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

To celebrate #ITV70, I have released two singles - reconstructions of the famous pieces used to start the day - firstly on @itvtynetees.bsky.social, played by the wonderful #RoyalBalletSinfonia and available at all streaming platforms #ThreeRiversFantasy open.spotify.com/track/3RFmDW...

One of the advantages of a good chapel upbringing and of learning Bible verses by heart is that I can remember this very good advice.

BBC Studios is investing in the new Welsh National Theatre as the two organisations partner to create opportunities for new Welsh voices for creative roles in theatre and television.

This is how to do it.

Anti-autism campaigner, Karen Hoyland, 40, commented: “I love my child but I hate his autism. The other day I came home to find him lining up his guns, instead of playing with them like a normal kid.”

26,000 YouTube views for Sinclair’s Charlie Kirk tribute special. Just for comparison, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on any average Wednesday will get between two and four MILLION YouTube views. Right wing culture is fringe stuff. It is not American culture by any stretch.

Repost for Irish Film Classifications by Damien Owens, because it's just come up in FB memories and it's still *brilliant*.

Congratulations to Duncan McIntosh, from The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, on his new role as Reform's policy coordinator.

This is far more disrespectful than any joke I've seen by the left about Charlie Kirk

Very sad to hear this, his son Nick said he had a chest infection last week which obviously took a turn for the worst. Their films together on Morning Live about Parkinson's were very good.

Can’t afford the plant. OK for the fashion tho.

New watch face. Thanks to @nmsni.co.uk for extracting the background from the GNAT original hardware. 😎

I just got back from the Netherlands. There’s a lot to like.

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

"Britain must burn more fossil fuels and bills must rise in order to power the robot that'll fire everyone. How else will I afford my next private island?"

Defect is a great word, isn’t it?

BBC iPlayer asked me if l wanted to watch from the start and this came up.

[at dinner with Tony the Tiger] "Tony, can you say grace?" "Yes, but it takes me a bit longer than everyone else".

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

imagine thinking you’ve found the love of your life and then you find out he goes down to London with a big England flag to impress a 5’6 lad who doesn’t care if he lives or dies

If your religion seeks control of others, then it’s not a religion. It’s a cult. There’s always a person, or persons, benefiting in some way. Run far and fast.

Saw a post on TikTok saying “the Civil War has been cancelled due to the suspect being demographically and ideologically uncooperative” and, yeah.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

“It’s on Autocue for you, Richard.”

Half-arsed Newport rainbow.

For no obvious reason this week has been utterly exhausting. Is it the change of season?

#OnThisDay in 1906, Newport Transporter Bridge officially opened. Led by Lord Tredegar, the bunting-strung passenger car was greeted on the Eastern Side by the 4th Battalion South Wales Borderers’ tune of the National Anthem.

The Nigel Farage who wrote this about Charlie Kirk's murder will be furious at the Nigel Farage who made Lucy Connolly a star of the Reform conference

What a truly bizarre question.
