Thoroughly enjoyed The Running Man - bravo @edgarwright.bsky.social - and always raises a smirk when Glesga stands in for a dystopian slum…

That new @danielmarkavery.bsky.social essential mix is superb - really diverse and with loads of gorgeous song I haven’t heard. Not sure you’re going to the right afterparties though, if it’s just putting a record on, lighting a candle and chatting about the future 😉 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

A lesson for the Labour Party - even if you deported a hundred thousand migrants, or five hundred thousand, Nigel Farage would just tell people you hadn't, and they'd believe him.

Ireland: overwhelmingly votes for an independent left wing candidate Irish Media: We must do more to help the far right!!

Maybe my favourite moment in the new Partridge - especially give the glorious substation roof ending.

It’s weird being the news, rather that writing it… dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2025/10/unce...

Zoom in for nostalgia

Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

Nice to see my reporting turning up in the right places - fingers crossed The Arches remains open for clubbing.
