Any rational person can see Farage needs to be referred to the police for incitement. When will this man be held accountable?

Clever old Farage. Pivoting to corrupt grifterism to distract from his appalling racism, then pivoting to appalling racism to distract from his corrupt grifterism.

We took on a little dog as a foster four days ago. He has transformed from a terrified little thing, hiding in a corner to a happy, tail waggy and playful pup. We just need him to stop being scared of my husband.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

I’m very fortunate never to have had to go to hospital for anything substantive for 52 years. But two aged (one now very ill) parents, and now lying on an emergency trolley hooked up to drips, makes you think. And I HAVE VIEWS. (1/several)

What matters more: 1. An old man, out of politics for 20 years, has opinions? 2. The party leading the polls and potentially set to form the next government is promising to deport hundreds of thousands of people settled in the UK entirely legally? That our broadcast media has chosen 1 is sickening.

I bought a wine glass online to try to cover up from my wife that I’d broken one when she was away. I only told a handful of friends. So I’ve no idea how she found out. According to ReformUK, I now have conclusive evidence I’ve been hacked by the Russian state

OK, so it feels like we need a little context and a sanity check around this story! The Sun, The Mirror and the Daily Mail all jumped on this, and of course, Twitter managed to turn it into a BBC-bashing story 🙄 (Yes, it's a 22-tweet thread about Eurovision!😆😜) 🧵 1/22

In the original version of the play that later became the book Peter Pan, there's no Captain Hook. He was invented later. A lot of us who watched the Disney movie or saw a theatre production forget how the book ends. Most adaptations hide its grim conclusion: Hook isn't the villain. Peter is.
