This is my constant frustration with the state of media coverage. Some honourable exceptions but you can read whole articles and not even know basic details of the policy that apparently caused an argument. The Westminster bubble needs bursting!

Like the last shot of a horror film "Oh no! The consequence of my actions" - Cut to black *Blood curdling scream*

HAHAHAHA this one got me . im done

The PMs full name, according to media sources, is Keir Starmer Must

long time no fish

Ok so I’ve seen Wuthering Heights and if you like Disney princess movies, but with shagging, and in Yorkshire, it’s for you

That "But thank you" at the end is just plain murder. Absolute queen.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Unless you're a member of the official Opposition or you're Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, Jet Harris or Tony Meehan you have no right to call yourself a Shadow. Zia Yusuf is either deluded and/or thick. Neither is a good look.

Thirty five years together and we still share the same double bed ❤️ But we just bought single duvets, and people, it’s very, very good,

I thought it best to appoint failed Tories to my Shadow Cabinet, as their experience will help us to achieve our aims more quickly. Having already trashed the country once, they should be able to do it even faster next time.

“The emails showcase the private behaviour of a male ruling class, as they network, joke and trade information. Women exist at the periphery, tolerated because they organise the diaries of the busy men, they arrange food, they grace a table, they provide sex.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Please respond and let them know we are unhappy with liar johnsons radicalisation of the BBC and their wall to wall coverage and bias towards reFUKKK plc

Going through old Notes, I’ve noticed that Bongo Cat still exists. bongo.cat Please enjoy.

#Sundaypixred The RedBall Project came to Bradford Industrial Museum in 2025. Great fun!

If the “growing range of voices uniting around” the Greens includes these guys, then count me out* *not that I was ever in tbf

This took me fucking ages

I can’t cope with any more of this gung ho sabre rattling shite.

I could really do without all the ‘spine’ and ‘balls’ rhetoric at the moment.

A deluge of work on regime change after the 2003 invasion of Iraq yielded strong (and rare) agreement in IR: it doesn't work & has terrible consequences. @profdownes.bsky.social's book Catastrophic Success lays it out, but it's right there in the title. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Just fuck off.

Having Grok “apologise” for creating CSAM is like punching someone in the face and then having the Sooty puppet on your fist apologise.

Χρόνια πολλά, παιδιά!

We’ve had a few drinks and a superb curry. Off to bed with earplugs now. Have fun, and see you next year!

Happy New Year!

You're all lovely. I'll be asleep soon so am telling you this now. Thank you for your company this year and may we continue the daft merriment in the next. The older I get, the more I'm convinced daft merriment is one of the important bits of life.

Bungle will be officially 17 tomorrow. (We suspect 1st Jan on her chip record may have been a wild guess) We’ve only known her for 2 of those years. She was a bundle of nerves and angst when we met, but very chill now.

It’s been a lovely year here in Bradford. The City of Culture programme has been fabulous, and I’ve had a ball. #Bradford2025

Nobody should have their citizenship stripped from them, however obnoxious they are, and to be clear, El-Fatteh's tweets are horrendous. But citizenship should be inalienable: did we learn nothing after the second world war?

Some alternative questions: 1. Should I add butter to this food? 2. Would melted cheese on top improve this food? 3. Should I add a bit more butter to this food? 4. What's on telly?

how all youtube ads sound to me

The world has always been full of dickheads. We just didn’t use to have to listen to them spout.

So Boris Johnson, Prince Phillip, Andrew Bonar Law, Freddie Mercury, George I, George II, Richard E Grant, Douglas Carswell, Rudyard Kipling, Cliff Richard, Joanna Lumley and Spike Milligan weren't British? Interesting www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

OK, it’s been Bradford City of Culture 2025 this year, so we’ve had oodles of stuff to choose from for #SundayPixFestival. Here’s the National Street Choirs Festival in our beautiful city centre. My choir, Bradford Voices, were the hosts.

I seem to have woken up in 1529…

Always get caught wondering if he's incredibly stupid or malevolent before remembering he can be both.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Trump: “Russia wants Ukraine to succeed.” Audience: “Oh no, he doesn’t!”

#DuvetKnowItsChristmas has raised over £26k. @rhodri.biz you absolute bloody hero. Again. Thank you

Healing is great and all, but have you tried disassociating?

"I said Bro Nigel Farage is defending fox hunting because it's an important rural tradition. What did I say Roy?" "You said Nigel Farage likes torturing animals because he's a sadistic cnut"

If only twitter threads were still a thing because I have quite the story to tell about how my destiny of being a cat rescuer is literally being forced upon me. I currently have seven (7) cats in my house. I’ll tell it one day. Maybe I’ll write it. But for now, good morning from not my cats:
