A wonderful Vet, who fortunately deferred to his daughter when he wasn’t sure about my Belovéd Phooka’s illness, thus saving her from a horrible death, is running the Bute Highland 10k tomorrow to give something back having recovered from #ProstateCancer www.justgiving.com/page/duncan-...

I was brought up in Leeds, about as far from the sea as you can get. Our family wasn’t well off, but we did OK. I’m of an age where we had flash cards to help us with spelling in infants’ school. So who the fuck thought I’d need a complicated word like “Yacht”?

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... This young woman has been propping up the fragile UK care network since she was 8 years old. She took on a role after asking if she’d be penalised and told “no”. The UK care system is fucked! I’d be tempted to start a “gofundme” but she’d lose even more.

I’m sure I’m not the only person thinking this, but wouldn’t it be karma if trans men started using the public toilets for their biological sex. Let’s see how terfs react to that! #TransWomenAreWomen

Never had a guardian pick before! www.theguardian.com/food/2025/ap...

A 🧵

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... How can anyone possibly say she isn’t at risk.

Round of applause, this post wins BlueSky today.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025.... What the fuck is happening to the state I was born to? This is so, SO wrong!

Yep! (Satire if anyone is in doubt as it is completely believable. Credit is in the photo)

People will say “they could voluntarily pay more”. Of course they could … but not many would.

Well, we’ve watched 14 goals in 2 matches so far. Equally shared between the home teams. I’m not going to the Palm Tree to watch Villa now as I’ve a feeling I’ve seen all the goals worth seeing today.

My first M-I-L died today. She was 91. My heart is breaking and I’m sobbing. She was sharp, sassy and an anaesthetist.The first time I met her she said “don’t know why David wanted you in Kit’s room - we lived together years before we married” #GNUDiana

Saying ‘FML’ was selfish and I’m sorry. What I should have said was #DementiaSucks

Happy Birthday to @mrwaynegarton.bsky.social ‘s mum who asked for a lamb dinner but refused it when served. FML

@mrwaynegarton.bsky.social is driving hence the Pepsi max, but the here's a #TerraceView that is birdshit island. Sorry to have missed you @benidormbutcher.bsky.social Happy New Year all! #Benidorm

Happy New Year! ¡Feliz año nuevo! My traditional New Year’s Day dinner of honey and mustard glazed ham/gammon roast with a baked Basque cheesecake to follow. @mrwaynegarton and his parents scoffed the lot! Wishing you all a wonderful and prosperous 2025! #NewYear2025

Citrus mulled wine … with an almond biscuit to dunk #Christmas!

I think the fourth verse might be the best …

I’m feeling Christmasy so I’ll give away one of my 2025 calendars here and another over on Twitter. To win just RT and follow and I’ll pick a winner 1pm, Sunday 8th Dec Do visit www.infinitebacon.com and support independent artists. Good luck!

The only reason Nigel Farage has not yet jumped on the Elgin Marbles bandwagon is that he can’t quite bring himself to object to sending something foreign back where it came from.

You don’t even need a calendar - just follow British Gammons.

Want my wedding ring? Come and try to take it.

Gender critical thinking: Supporting victims of sexual assault 🙅🏼‍♀️ Wanting to find out who’s won a cooking competition 👍🏻

I served as a US ambassador and know hundreds of others Never met one before who hired a prostitute to seduce their brother-in-law or sent a videotape of the encounter to their sister Or who committed 18 felonies & was pardoned by another in-law I guess the job qualifications are changing…

Wow. This Boris Johnson column about Gregg Wallace is absolutely wild.

Massive away win for the little fella.

As if a young, female chef would feel she’d be able to complain about a judge who could have an impact on furthering her career. Or young male chef, for that matter. His complete disregard of the power imbalance is so very telling. #GreggWallace

The multi-millionaire who bought farmland to avoid tax… And the man who decimated farming to progress his own career …are now the self-appointed saviours of farming On today’s pod we discuss how people have lost their damned minds. Listen on link below…

Now THIS is a very thorough starter pack. Highly recommend that you hit “follow all” on this lot. 👍 go.bsky.app/FpbsVro

Bluesky appears to be doing some great gatekeeper work… …keeping out the troll kings. You have our gratitude. 🩵

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day. Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

The concerns being voiced by farmers today are no laughing matter. This, on the other hand, is piss funny #lufc

Some of you followed my brother on the other place - he’s here now. Less sweary than I. Please share to help him build his following back here. @skyrsix.bsky.social

Here’s one of my favourite ever cartoons I’ve done featuring @carolvorderman.bsky.social in mischevious mood 👍 This will be my entry for Britain’s Best Political Cartoon 2024 to be held in London in December. I won in 2020 and was runner up in 2021 and 2023 so wish me luck! Voting forms out soon 🙏

Ed Balls

His first words matter. Read the rest! 🧵

I’ve been afraid of commenting on Gaza for fear of being accused of antisemitism. What Israel is doing to Gaza is despicable and I can no longer be quiet.

Now then Blue crew. Thought I'd formally introduce myself on this new platform. Looks like I've had quite a few Twitter refugees follow me over and lots of new followers so here goes. What you will get from me is: POLITICAL CARTOONS. Lots of them. I produce for @thenorthernagenda.bsky.social

We have The Cure on Spotify at the mo. Imagining Robert Smith’s wife of 35-odd years saying “Aye, he’s in a band … lazy shite” No idea if it’s true …

@jpmsandie.bsky.social Did I rudely miss your Birthday?

Allison Pearson forgot the police can check their bodycam footage and it turns out her account was "wholly inaccurate and misleading". What a surprise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

After annoying people by accepting freebies, I'm now annoying people by not accepting freebies.
