Calling at least one right-wing tabloid going with a splash along lines of 'Son of a Toolmaker to Makerfield Tool' #AndyBurnham #KeirStarmer #ukpolitics

Not a stickler for British spelling over US, but when it's the actual title of an organisation, probably go verbatim, no? 🧐

James Murray appointed to replace Wes Streeting as Health Secretary. #ukpolitics

One of the few #games I've played consistently for years. Slice & Dice. Beautifully made, great mechanics. It just never gets old.

"My Government will remain a leading advocate for achieving a world free from poverty."

BREAKING: Streeting Down for Downing Street Break as Starmer Breaks Down #ukpolitics

"Why don't you just do your job?!" Badenoch bellows at Streeting in Commons. Speaker says nothing. The "tradition loving" Tory leader flagrantly breaching Erskine May again and again. Cosplaying respect for values and protocol until it doesn't suit her. #ukpolitics

I like this headline because it implies they considered taking a Lime bike. #kingsspeech #ukpolitics

The government is to legislate so as to reduce regulation - the sort of thing one says when does not know what one means.

Trace hint of kingly side-eye on Digital ID there? #kingsspeech #ukpolitics

"and I resign" scribbled in biro as a P.S. at the end of the King's Speech. #ukpolitics

This case continues to raise very serious concerns not only in terms of freedom of the press but most importantly in relation to what juries are and are not told by the trial judge & the defendants' right to a fair trial www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Labour MPs who "don't think this is the time for a leadership contest" need to reflect on how what has happened makes what they want now impossible or maximally damaging. Whether they wanted this or not, Starmer's removal must now be quick & clean. He can't go on after losing this much PLP support.

Might pull a sickie on PMQs tomorrow if it was me. Cough cough splutter splutter sorry Mr Speaker, feeling rough.

I’m sure people will have normal reactions to this.

Jenny Chapman: There was "not one dissenting voice" around Cabinet table. Reality: Because... the topic was barred? #ukpolitics #Starmer #cabinet

Headlines along the lines of 'Downing Streeting' if Wesley bags it? #ukpolitics #Starmer

Digging through the archives for pictures I've taken of *him* over the years and found this gem. Pride 2022. Truly horrible.

Christ, you know it's serious when they've wheeled Fifi Brucey onto the Street. #ukpolitics #Starmer

The way commentators are talking about a man who isn't an MP seeking the Premiership as some sort of minor hitch, I'm tempted to have a crack at it myself. #AndyBurnham

Cooling off from a busy few days by watching Heat (1995) for the first time in probably a decade, and had forgotten about the ending. Was not prepared for Moby. Shit, what a masterpiece. #movies #filmsky

Aged well.

Did he just pledge to block Tommy Robinson's entry to the UK for Saturday?

people are making fun of this but what if he pulled out the most badass speech out of his ass, huh? he looks at the speech on the podium and RIPS it up, and his advisors are like "Mr Starmer what are you DOING" and he's like "something I should have done a LONG TIME AGO" then he gets out a guitar

Singer, rapper and #Trump basher Earth to Eve in Camden tonight, kicking off her Europe-US tour. What a gem. Thanks for having me along Eve. 💙 #photography

Something I haven't seen for many, many years covering protests and demos in London: airport style scanners and police bag checks on Whitehall today for the 'Rally Against Antisemitism.' #ukpolitics

Absolutely top notch

I’m a very serious writer for the New Yorker and I have issues with the portrayal of sheep in the movie where sheep solve crime

Petition to replace the phrase 'turkeys for Christmas' with 'Scots for Reform.' #localelections #ukelections

"Thank you very much, now we're gonna do a GB Ne--" [sharp cutoff] — BBC reporter ending an interview with Farage. Amazing. #localelections

I maintain...

Turkeys voting for Christmas.

An interesting tack from Davey and one that could in seriousness win the Lib Dems back some support. Populism, on both sides of the aisle, is a danger.

Thought exactly the same. It will backfire spectacularly, but needs our help to do so.

Sir David Attenborough turns 100 on a day of huge election wins for a party whose incumbent MPs have labelled him part of a "green cult" and "anti-human."

The job of the left now is to highlight every Reform policy failing between now and the next General. Because there will be plenty. Landlocked councils aren't going to sToP tHe bOaTs as many Reform voters will be expecting. Their simplistic populism may come around to bite them. #ukelections

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Radio 5 Live deliberates paying ransom.

Less of the "cable-tying polyester rags to lampposts" brand of patriotism and more of the "sending so many messages of birthday love to Sir David Attenborough that he feels obliged to make a public statement" kind.

Whoops. Reform's David Bull just referred to Farage's £5m as a "donation" live on Beeb One, before swiftly correcting to "personal gift" when prompted by Advisor Kuenssberg. #UKelections #localelections

Alright Darlington, you're the first wave. Get those baseball bats polished. 💥

Total 90s the slipper of a football boot. 5⭐️

Ok but please not *too* overwhelmed. #Attenborough100

In the year 2076 I will tell my grandchildren we used to make things called "photos" which were single still images and they'll be like "so, like 1fps? Wasn't it super jerky?" and that is the moment that I will choose to die.
