NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

Please let the other leaders just corner Trump round the back of the building and fucking leather him. Just beat the tar out of him and then send him stumbling out, bruised, pantsed, showing his flabby, pathetic arse to the world’s media. All bets are off now anyway.

The Prime Minister rises to the global political moment and gives a speech of intelligence, insight and gravity. Unfortunately for Britain, it's a different Prime Minister.

Letter in Times today

I knew Trump being handed that Nobel Peace Prize reminded me of something.

ICE makes a lot more sense when you add the missing letters to get INCELS.

European leaders debate whether to let bully eat their lunch or punch him in the face www.cnbc.com/2026/01/19/e...

It's actually kind of funny watching Reform become a small boat filled with refugees from the Tory party.

More moves like this required, online (and other) publishing entities.

BREAKING: Man who raped girls on Epstein island says he is keen to liberate the women of Iran ♥️

The Fox of Kensal Green by the lovely Richard Tyrrell is out as an audiobook today! Beautifully written characters and prose made this story truly a pleasure to narrate, and I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity. You can find it here: tinyurl.com/Fox-of-Kensa...

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

I know The Simpsons has a long reputation of predicting future events but sister show Futurama, set in 3000, described Fry - frozen for 1000 years - as being from 'the Stupid Ages' and it's painful how accurate that's become.

I reluctantly maintain a burner account on the hellsite for work reasons, but this needs to be seen by a wider audience. Boycott Musk, boycott Tesla, boycott anything this prick has ever touched. This is who he is.

The Renee Good murder is so blatant, indefensible and nuance-free that at least it’ll force the Trump Admin to finally say, “Because FUCK YOU, that’s why.” We can actually make progress from that point if we hit that wall.

If there is any humanity left in the U-Nazi-ed States of America, today is the day things change. An innocent woman was murdered because a senile old sociopath wants to burn the world so no one else can have it when he's gone. Defeat this evil in the name of Good.

Actually, since the Vikings were the first Europeans to land on what is now the US, Denmark should be looking to seize *American* territory.

Hear bloody hear.

@danielmaier.bsky.social Met a friend on Hogmanay who said she listens to Life On Egg every night when she’s going to sleep and thinks it’s brilliant. Made me think of you, so just wanted to let you know. Still one of my favourite things I’ve ever done. Hope life is treating you super well!

The name 'Venezuela' is from the Spanish for 'little Venice'. Which is only a few letters away from the real reason for Trump's coup.

oh yeah? well, could a dying sex criminal do THIS? [bombs venezuela]

The Bible that Presidents, court witnesses etc all happily swear on when taking oaths specifically tells them not to do that. Twice.

People planning to vote for Farage who say 'cometh the hour, cometh the man' should know that, cometh quarter past the hour, said man will buggereth off with all your cash.

Cheer up, Nigel. You may not be on the New Year Honours list, but at least you're already four-fifths of the way to being a count.

Who saw that coming?

Trump's attacks on Venezuela are not so much a war on drugs as a war, on drugs.

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine. I hope wherever you spend Christmas Day and whoever you are with that you feel loved and safe.

Really enjoyed talking to Joel at Tripwire about our recent DC Comics/Penguin Random House Audio, though worth mentioning that this is a transcript of a live chat and at times I may sound a like I had sunk a few bourbons* beforehand. Honest guv, not a drop touched me lips. (*Afterwards*, though …)

I really enjoyed talking to Joel about our 2025 production of KINGDOM COME and the winding road which led us here.

Fuck you, Donald Trump, you fucking waste of skin. Your Daddy didn’t love you because you are a piece of shit barely clinging to the category of human. I hope tonight is the night you finally shit yourself to death, you narcissistic, pathetic, useless wanker.

Have just woken up and read the awful news about Rob Reiner. I think I’m a little in shock tbh. He was a genius - a number of my all time favourite films exist because of him. I can’t quite take it in that he’s gone, much less that he and his wife died in such a violent way. What a horrible loss.

What a horrible, horrible attack in Australia. Heartbroken to think of those who died and those who have lost loved ones. And of those at Brown University in the USA. Human capacity for horrific cruelty always appals and bewilders me in equal measure.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Literally the moral of every single science fiction story featuring some form of Artificial Intelligence, arguably as far back as Frankenstein, is 'make sure it can't stop you switching it off'. Doomed, I tell you. Doomed.

It’s International Men’s Day and I celebrate all the wonderful men I am lucky to have in my life - relatives, friends and colleagues. They exemplify the best of what it is to be a man - kind, generous, thoughtful, courageous, vulnerable, honest, loving, nurturing, supportive, smart, funny, open.

Is this …. Is this the beginning of a timeline healing itself? news.sky.com/story/scotla...

RELEASED TODAY thanks to Penguin Random House and DC Comics our ‘audio movie’ of the graphic novel KINGDOM COME by Mark Waid and Alex Ross. This production gave me the chance to return after three decades to both Metropolis *and* Gotham City. Here's what the author says about our new version: 1/14

Released this Tuesday by Penguin Random House / DC Comics.

On the off chance anyone finds themselves short of an actor last minute for pantos (especially in Glasgow or the Central Belt of Scotland), I am VERY available and very good at learning lines REALLY quickly.

One of the biggest reasons to love Douglas’s epic and why I was so thrilled when he asked me to “bring it home to radio”.

Of course, he's only building that ballroom so he can host a special transatlantic mash-up of hit US and UK dance shows starring all his legally embattled pals. Allegedly Come Noncing With the Stars premieres in the New Year.

This is such a clever idea!!

Hello. @thisisdouch.bsky.social is crowdfunding for the sequel to his excellently funny kids book. If you like supporting good, funny children's books actually getting made or have mini ones who like brilliant picture books, please give him a hand if you can: www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

Still uncanny.

Oh good grief, not only did Drumpf not win, they gave it to a woman. He’s going to cancel the ceasefire out of spite, isn’t he.

Thank you DC.
