Needing lots of crossed fingers over the next couple of days. Genuinely so close to breaking out of the cycle of the last 6mo.

Reform UK vetting person is doing a stellar job at letting all the racists and conspiracy theorists sign up as candidates.

After 6mo, I think I'm a few days away from finally clinching a new job ❤️

Can confirm, Trump shared a video of a woman being murdered on his Truth Social profile, which he used for pointscoring. Because this is the world we now live in. I feel sick.

This newly released novelisation, penned by good friend @josephlidster.bsky.social, just arrived today. Heard great things about it x

The whole Iran war episode is a textbook example of why the US needs to overhaul its political system in a post-Trump world. So many times, bad things happen and there are too many dead eyes, disapproving of what's happening but unable, unwilling, or at worst both, to stop him.

Sweet lord, what fresh hell is this?

My baby nephew is growing so fast. Already starting to babble, crawling a bit. Love him to bits.

Can't stop thinking about Ru Paul in Ealing

"You show me so many strange mysteries. With you, I know I'm safe" 💔

"Everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right? You can’t stop tragic things from happening. Fires do happen." Reform's Housing spokesperson Simon Dudley on the Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people and left 70+ injured. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

Had a lovely 32nd birthday and Mothering Sunday this weekend 🥰

This is a lovely bit of news. Over 60yrs later, missing episodes still being found.

If only the government had a massive majority with which to address this existential threat to our democracy.

Does look increasingly like Reform peaked in the polls back in the autumn and is moving downward, albeit leading the other parties by a fair bit.

Dentist appointment later today. Yes, one of THOSE ones with drilling involved. My god.

People sometimes ask why I left Twitter for Bluesky but earlier I posted here about being HIV+ for thirty years and none of the replies have told me I deserved it, I should have died, and angrily denounced how much it cost to develop the medication that kept me alive

How I arrived on Bluesky

If anyone in London is hiring in PR or comms, I'd love to talk to you. Hitting the point where LinkedIn and recruiters can only go so far and just want to work again, doing what I do best - writing

“With Trump in the White House, the moron risk premium is now a threat of world war.”

The fact that Isabel Oakeshott, economic migrant to the UAE may just turn into a refugee fleeing to the UK from a war zone will cause a level of schadenfreude in me that may just make me topple right over.

2022: geopolitical shock, oil prices up, markets down 2026: geopolitical shock, oil prices up, markets down 🫠

Enjoying my first day as a person having a nice quiet weekend without seeing a load of scary stuff on the news. Now to take a big swig of coffee and

Matt Goodwin isn't good at maths

Gorton & Denton is nothing short of electoral disaster for Labour. Its base splintered and the Greens/Reform squeezed it to third, which is embarrassing.

Twitter is an absolute sewer. I got wind of a tweet where someone said immigration into London is akin to the Black Death. The actual fuck.

Ended up being the victim of a crime today out in central London. Sucked for someone to steal my bag but people in the place where it happened were helpful and lovely about it ❤️

Saw Twinless at the Prince Charles Cinema last night. Very enjoyable film. Dark comedy, touching on grief, unrequited love, and the strange things grief makes people do.

I think Andrew Marr's assessment of Starmer is sound. He's showing an unwillingness to relinquish power, but he won't last. And we're likely heading towards some form of Reform-led government at this rate.

Farage's claims here are straightforward lies (and it's about time the media/press said so) The correct figures are 160K (0.3%) and 900K (1.5%) www.gbnews.com/news/video-n...

Three years gone, but not forgotten by your community. 🏳️‍⚧️💔 RIP Brianna.

It's insane how Starmer is likely being brought down by a similar thing to Boris Johnson - making an appointment which blew up in his face, laying bare his sense of judgement.

Anas Sarwar reportedly to call for Starmer to stand down. He's crumbling in front of our very eyes.

Today, my friends and I said a proper goodbye as chosen family to our late friend, Tristan White, who passed away in November

Did an initial interview, a written test and a follow-up interview somewhere, seemed to be in a good position to clinch a role, but now been told the job has been withdrawn 😑

Kemi Badenoch has sacked Jenrick from the Shadow Cabinet to end the psychodrama. Ironically, it just creates even more drama. Bit of a Catch-22

Was 10yrs since the death of David Bowie the other day, which was all tied to the release of his final record, Blackstar, one of the most haunting album launches I've ever seen. As a result, it's also 10yrs since 'David is dead' on CBB, which was one of the funniest misunderstandings aired on TV.

I missed it on the first watch, but my god, I've seen Roxy on the Traitors when she puts herself forward as most likeable player. Would have died inside if I was there.

With Nadhim Zahawi's defection, it only cements the view that Reform UK is a last chance saloon for former Tory ministers, as opposed to a movement with fresh ideas and people from outside the bubble.

Fiona fumbled her gambit to take down Rachel at the roundtable. Getting offended about Amanda not confiding in her became the root reason to gun for Rachel.

I love how messy the Traitors are this year. Fiona is obviously on the wrong foot to accuse Rachel of lying about Amanda, but she's right not to trust a word she says. Rachel is clearly a lone wolf, and would do anything to win.

The Night Manager S2 is brilliant so far. Such a long wait but absolutely hooked again.

Trump's been hinting at military options in Venezuela since 2017. Reminds me of the words of Masha Gessen. Believe the autocrat.

Didn’t take long.

That naughty smile Traitors do when Claudia taps them on the shoulder 😏 #TheTraitors

A bonfire and fireworks to ring in 2026 May you have an auspicious year ❤️

Last sunlight of 2025. It's been a year x
