Professional victimhood. Choosing to visit places where he knows he is going to face trouble. It's all a grift.

He wanted a quiet break so he tried to go to Colombia. 😂 Honestly, this sort of total commitment to scoring some gear deserves our admiration.

🚨 NEW: Britain’s most powerful people are still 5x more likely to have been privately educated than the general population. Our brand-new research reveals that jobs in the media, business, charity, creative and public sectors remain dominated by those from private schools ⤵️🧵

And there we have it. A clear illustration why the left has been out of power for most of the past 100 years. We couldn't organize a... Well, you know the rest.

Superb book, great talk by Justin Currie at the 'Stow Trades Hall. First trip back to a Rock & Roll Book Club event for a few months. Great to be back.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

One of the good guys. Very sad.

Ooof.

The Pitt, I'm sure it's a great show and it won all these Emmys last night, but if Sky/Channel 4 can figure out a way to make it legally viewable for Irish and UK audiences that would really be swell

Lovely lovely lovely.

The total number of deaths in the world, all the countries, from any cause, is about 65 million per year.

A growing number of Labour voices now demanding Keir Starmer start taking on Elon Musk and the far-right. Here Labour MP Noah Law writes for Byline Times on why it's time for the Government to quit Twitter and start treating Musk as the 'foreign extremist' he now is bylinetimes.com/2025/09/15/m...

Musk, Tommy Robinson - fascist Britain. A hellpit of violence and racism. They’re using our flag as their rallying cry. And X as their megaphone. No more appeasement. No more ‘legitimate concerns’ horseshit. It’s beyond time to sanction Musk, regulate X and shut these fuckers down. (Sunday Times)

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The ST is not the only one spinning this narrative and I realise the media want to create some jeopardy, but Starmer isn’t under any kind of pressure. There is simply no likely mechanism to usurp him, given the 400+ majority.

Yay. I think…🤔

Make an artist singular: Print.

For the first time in my life the social norms that kept a lid on nationalist fascist racism; that reclaimed the flag; have stalled. The lack of actual vocal leadership for us to rally around - for the pro-democracy, pro-rule of law, anti-violent, majority - is now becoming an existential problem.

When you haven't won at home for more than nine months, 5-0 is pretty great way to get going. Sensational stuff last night, Jaden Philogene looks like a star.

We need to talk about the threat X poses to our shared values as a country. This is bigger than just one platform: it’s about the way our democracy is being reshaped by an engagement model that rewards outrage above all else. 1/7 www.politicshome.com/news/article...

This is an absurd misuse of laws designed to tackle terrorism and an insane waste of a resource-starved criminal justice system. There were obviously not 900 terrorists wandering through central London on Saturday and it's utterly ridiculous to act as if there were

Jesus.

Can two IMAX screenings in a week legitimately be called a 2MAX? If so, that was the deal tonight - this time Jaws in all its gory glory, again at the BFI South Bank. Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women...

Now in IMAX at the BFI South Bank - the film which captured Prince at his peak. And the closest thing to seeing him perform live in 2025. Extraordinary.

Ed Balls: the Greens taking votes from Labour helps the Tories @zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I want to see every Labour politician whose voted for a two child benefit cap, for disability cuts, for the ongoing genocide in Gaza to sell arms to them, I want to see them replaced" #GMB

Fantastic, unforgettable weekend staying at Grayson Perry's extraordinary A House For Essex, to celebrate Corinna's birthday. An absolutely unique immersive art project; never slept *inside* a work of art before...

Happy publication day to Justin Currie, @peteselby.bsky.social and his @newmodernbooks.bsky.social imprint. As previously, this is a brilliant book. pick a copy up if you have a chance.

🥳 Happy 50th birthday, Born To Run! Join us every day this week as we celebrate 50 years of Bruce Springsteen's Official Chart debut, and the UK career journey of a chart icon. #BruceSpringsteen #BornToRun

AD | ⚠️ SPOILER: Mother Monster nailed it 💅 🎷 Bonus fact - Springsteen’s long-time saxophone player Clarence Clemons, who features on the cover of the Born To Run album, also played the sax solo on Gaga's Edge Of Glory. @brucespringsteen.net @sonymusicuk.bsky.social

This a very worthwhile watch. 👏👏👏

I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up. Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.

Brilliant. Bravo, sir.

“Tabloids tell us Connolly is lovely, ordinary, caring, a great Mum. But she wasn’t punished for any of that. She was punished for telling a mob it's okay to set fire to hotels full of people she sees as lesser. That she did it between a cuppa and walking the dog, makes it more chilling, not less.”

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Back from a week touring the Highlands. My goodness, Scotland, what a beauty you are.

Cracking game for the northernmost fixture on the mainland yesterday - Thurso 1 Invergordon 8. Excellent hospitality from Thurso FC too - Steak & haggis pie. Marvellous. @thursofc.bsky.social @northcaleyfa.com @nonleaguedogs.bsky.social

Did it again today. Again tried to give Marvel a go and checked out FantasticFour. What a dull, pointless, dogs dinner of a movie.

Your annual reminder that the FA were required to rename the Charity Shield to the Community Shield in 2002 after the Charity Commission found the minimum transparency requirements in funding charities were not being met.

Nobody likes to see violence on the pitch of course, but when it's Tyrone Mings tossing around Mason Greenwood... 😂😁

We're now verified on @bsky.app

As a former local news hack, plus Tim Key & Dunder Mifflin fan, this could not be more up my alley... Very hopeful. 🙏https://youtu.be/c5v4LJJkvUU?si=T_kENvsI7ju_Qz9Y

Nice start to the new season yesterday. Hopefully a sign of things to come. CCFC 5 Dunmow 0. @claptoncfc.co.uk @nonleaguedogs.bsky.social

About to watch Luton-Wimbledon on Sky. The season starts here. Missed proper club football. 😍😍😍
