Norway and the UK are the only countries to have arrested anybody on the Epstein List. Absolutely no action in the USA.

This is so delightful, love it 💕

Waiting for the BBC analysis ‘Andrew arrested: Why this could be a big win for Farage’

Watching the news on the Defendant Formerly Known As a Prince. Beeb, look, I get it. You have to mind your legal back. But if you just keep on repeating "Mountbatten Windsor denies all charges" like a verbal tic, then this news bulletin is going last about three hours...

Reform UK want to scrap the Equality Act and leave the ECHR. Yes, this will leave ordinary people open to being exploited by unscrupulous business owners and politicians, but my rich donors and I promise not to take advantage. Trust me, I'm a man of the people.

Why would you pig-headedly ignore the voice of the next generation? Why would you saddle them with debt, shrink the job market and limit their opportunities? It runs counter to everything politics and society should want for them. For all of us. They’re the future. www.itv.com/news/2026-02...

Young people did not have a say in the Brexit referendum but have to live with the consequences. It's not surprising that a staggering majority of them would want to rejoin the EU. https://www.itv.com/news/2026-02-19/over-80-of-16-to-24-year-olds-would-vote-to-rejoin-the-eu-itv-poll-finds

Now the rest of them. Not just the sex offenders, but all those named in the Epstein files who’ve used their power and influence to undermine our democracy and sell the country out. Investigate them all.

Exactly.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

Inside the unique and beautiful St Moluag's Church in the village of Eoropie at the north end of the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles. It is believed to stand on the site of a chapel built in the 560s. #Scotland #StMoluagsChurch #Church #Eoropie #Lewis #WesternIsles

Farage - grifting multimillionaire and highest earning MP Tice - family money multimillionaire Yusuf - multimillionaire Jenrick - millionaire Zahawi - multimillionaire But they want to cut the National Minimum Wage down from £12.21 per hour. (It goes up 50p in April.) God, they’re hideous.

Suella Braverman says Reform would scrap the Equality Act 2010. Law prevents discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender, marital status, race, religion and sexual orientation. Reform taking us back to Victorian era, removing hope. Our predecessors fought hard for social rights.

If you like Jigsaws the RNLI have some good ones on their web-site and they deliver.

I’m absolutely loving ‘Small Prophets’ on iPlayer. Good hearted, funny, poignant, and weird! Great stuff.

This sort of framing of stories about 'left behind' places is getting very tired. How have they been 'failed' by politics? They are the product of political choices - which organisations like the BBC have often failed to explain to people.

Nigel Farage refuses to answer a question about all 5 of his cabinet members going to expensive private schools. Because he doesn't care. If you aren't a millionaire and you vote Reform, Nigel Farage is going to sh*t on you.

Palma cathedral. Very nice loo doorways.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Our public services are absolutely crumbling & are at breaking point, whether that's our NHS, transport infrastructure, the lack of social housing, but I would say very clearly none of these are the problems of migrants coming into this country..." Spot on.

Breaking: Fartage announces that Andrew Tate will be minister for women & equalities in Shadowy Cabinet.

Remember how the thick kid would be given a made up job like pencil monitor? Anyway, Robert Jenrick is now Shadow Chancellor.
