It’s true! I am! Just let Simon know what book you’d like, it’s that easy! I’ll stop with all the !! now

The increasing convergence of mainstream media organisations, clickbait and the far-right has been one of the worst parts of 2025. They know full well it wasn't just some "anti immigration tweets". He called for people to join him on the streets, burn down migrant hotels and "start the slaughter".

Zohran doubles down on his call to cap resale! While his focus is on FIFA, this is something that musicians have backed all over the US, and is already the law in much of the rest of the world. Last month, the UK joined the growing list of countries capping resale at face value.

Why are journalists spending so much time on what Farage said as a schoolboy in the playground? And not focusing on how he has operated as a Quisling for Putin for decades?

Interest in Allen’s latest album goes beyond celebrity gossip, resonating with audiences for its raw contemplation of contemporary heterosexuality.

Nice one, Spidey.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Frankly, I'd have expected better of dolphins.

WOW c 10k people have now watched Democracy for Sale's video about our new undercover investigation, with Led By Donkeys. An ex-Tory MP introduced our fake Chinese AI investor into MPs and ministers - and all for just £5k! 😱 Watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKof...

“Lammy is expected to argue on Wednesday that the ECHR could also be reinterpreted to limit the scope of rights under article 3, which prohibits torture and “degrading treatment”” Just think about that

London now has its first fully electric cross-river ferry. The Orbit Clipper is faster, greener and can carry up to 100 bikes. It means cleaner and faster trips between North and South London - a big win for a more connected city.

Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs. Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments". Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged. Privatisation = Abuses and insanity. archive.ph/zbbaQ

📽️ Just turned on TV - Psycho started on BBC2 an hour ago. All other TV plans ditched and I'm on to iPlayer NOW. This film is about as perfect as it gets. With the screen still black and the opening bars of Bernard Herman's glorious score, it never lets up till the final credits roll. #filmsky 📽️

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations. But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations. Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

So Labour can moan about Greens being unrealistic as much as they want, but who is the bigger fantasist: the people who know the house is on fire and something radical is needed? Or the people saying "this is fine" as the roof falls in?

Nothing says getting into the festive spirit like going online to shout at some biscuits

Artists want lawmakers to cap ticket resale at or near face value in order to keep our shows fairly priced for fans. But resale-industry lobbyists want to stop this, because it would jeopardize these companies' profits. So they lie and say that caps encourage fraud.

New poster from the Hungarian government. It translates to "They raise your taxes and spend them in Ukraine on golden toilet bowls". I would like to draw your attention to the state of the wall the poster is placed at. It's a Hungarian railway station. One can ask: where Hungarian taxes go to?

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

They ought to set the menu default on, to require it

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Trump says $72bn Netflix-Warner Bros deal 'could be a problem' Nothing that can't be solved with $50M in his bank account by Tuesday, I'm sure.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4... Fifa should implement VAR before awarding any 'peace' prizes.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your Christmas wish to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is not “unrealistic.”

The "FIFA Peace Prize" sounds about as legit as a Coca Cola Health Prize or a Blackrock Humanitarian Award.

@michaelspicer.bsky.social you've got some serious competition.

1: Trump slaps tariffs on Australia, despite U.S. having a trade surplus with the country. 2: Countries get scared away from US assets, buy gold. 3: Australia is one of the top gold exporters. 4: U.S. trade surplus with Australia sinks to lowest level in 20 years because gold sales to U.S. grow 10x

I see the BBC have now got rid of all the thumbs ups/downs from their coverage of this evening's debacle. Cowards. Here were two more more...

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Trump given Fifa Peace Prize US President Donald Trump is awarded the first Fifa Peace Prize. Oh, do f**k off. What new bullshit is this?

oh piss off

Reform UK's Staffordshire council leader made series of racist posts including telling British academic to "f*** off back to Nigeria" and liking white supremacist posts saying "White Men Have The Best Lives Because We Are White & Better Than The Rest Of the World" hopenothate.org.uk/2025/12/03/r...

No people are “garbage.” That is the language of fascists. We need to rein this racist lunatic in.

Listen to this American still working 40 hours a week when he's 88 because his wife got sick and he had to sell his house. This is what they want to do in the UK.

youtube.com/shorts/TDSHi... I have a bunch of Elle Cordova's songs in my playlist, but had no idea of all her other talents. These scratch a little deeper into her observational comedy (4 shorts in this very funny package).

open.spotify.com/track/6UFDma... 🎧 My God, this woman never stops. Such an amazing talent. She's 86. Listen to this, do. Mavis Staples' latest album. 🥰 🎧 (Yes, I'm still on Spotify, don't hate me, you're still on Facebook)

youtu.be/QXSqGlr0m1A 🎧 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Madison Cunningham - without owing anything to anyone - is truly the successor to Joni Mitchell. Such brilliant, totally original songwriting, singing and playing. Endlessly inventive. Music that will last forever. 🎧
