Rereading Biggles, I'd forgotten how much ejaculation went on at 5000 feet. And I remember how, aged 10 or 11, asking my dad what ejaculation meant.

A draw is held to decide who gets to ask Parliamentary Questions. I was lucky enough to be chosen to ask my question today, but I couldn’t be arsed to turn up. I was too busy saying the system is rigged and I am being gagged!

£18 - hourly rate for a resident doctor after the 29% rise £24 - hourly rate for a physicians assistant If you're ok with assistants earning more than actual doctors, congratulations, you've fallen for Streeting and Starmer's attack on the people who will keep you safe when you fall ill, doctors

Bravo! May I offer my absolute favourite of this genre…

I've been watching Star Trek TNG on Netflix over the past couple of years; I'm on the tail end of Season Four. I've just heard TNG is leaving Netflix on 9th January. I have three and a bit seasons to catch up on. My last binge was Buffy, and that was five by five. Let's hope this one is six, seven.

Many a true word spoken in jest.

In 2023 Wes Streeting accuses the Conservatives Of what Wes Streeting is doing in 2025 Labour blaming doctors for Labour's inability to fund the NHS, staff the NHS, and treat doctors fairly is a scandal Be cautious of ANY gov that wants you to hate the people who look after us when we're ill

The Reform Christian Church: Its patron saint is of course St. Judas Iscariot. Let us pray: 🙏🏻 ‘Our Nigel, which art in parliament, Farage be thy Name; Thy fascism come; Thy will be done in Dubai, as it is in Clacton.’ As for that Jesus bloke, he’s a bloody leftard.😤

“Despite my repeated demands, the tanker refused to deliver its cargo to me,” Hegseth said.

Kent County Council is considering closing local libraries and rubbish tips to cut costs. Kids need libraries to learn, and tip closures risk fly-tipping on our streets. I’ve signed to stop this. Will you add your name too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ci...

"It's gotta go up and down. Otherwise, you wouldn't know the difference. It would just be a bland, straight line, like lookin' at a heart machine. And when that straight line happens, baby, you're dead." - Keith Richards on change.

Enjoyable movie ⭐⭐⭐ Just watched this. Some laugh out loud moments, some poignant moments. But too mawkish at times. It's a small story overstretched to 1h 54m, and the supporting cast was more interesting than the leads. I did quite enjoy it, but by the end I was thinking "oh FFS get to the point".

I endorse this plan too.

Yodel: Don't you love 'em?

It's official. Reform are selling black shirts to the stupid and faithful.

Morning Bluesky.

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords. Like if she needs to go. RT if she has to go.

Nice to see the tories take a stand on something, but the badges aren't similar at all. It seems an odd hill to die on.

EVERYtime Russia "makes a deal",Putin bombs Ukraine the next day.

There's something for everyone!

Do me a favor and forward this post.This needs to get out to everyone. We need to be unified.

And it was translated, relabelled "US Peace Plan", signed by Donald Trump and forwarded verbatim to Ukraine with threats if they didn't agree and sign up within days. Shame on Russia Shame on the USA.

Time to shift the Overton Window? @greenparty.org.uk

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights. But we need your help. goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

“They went for pensioners, they went for the disabled, and now they’re going for people fleeing war and conflict. I am furious — this government should hang their heads in shame.” Zack Polanski on Labour’s new immigration reforms on Newsnight.

This perfectly encapsulates why we need the BBC

Just seen this, and it's a corker.

Neighbours up at 3am playing loud guitars, so I banged and banged on the wall. Long story short, I'm now the drummer.

Deep Beneath Greenland's Frozen Surface, Trump Enters His Fortress Of Solitude, Hoping To Be Alone With His Thoughts. Realizes He Doesn't Have Any Thoughts.

And then Thatcher happened.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

if you’re wondering what TV & radio would look like without the bbc if the right had its way, picture the state of our privatised rivers & seas, but instead it’s raw sewage pumped into your telly & speakers

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

If you know and care about someone who is considering fucking up their face, send them this picture. They'll thank you later.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

With Norman Wisdom leading, it can't possibly go wrong.

EVRI. Gotta love them.

Probably my favourite Buddy Holly track. Nanci Griffith did a great version with the Crickets, too.
