Getting shit faced by a canal. Standard.

I had very high hopes about this place and they have been exceeded in every way.

good morning

Imagine the scenes in Parliament. “And does the right honourable SILLY CUNT agree with me that fossil fuel companies should be better regulated?”

If I was in charge, I’d introduce the following rule: On days when the mercury reaches 30 degrees or more, you are allowed to call climate sceptics and people peddling the interests of fossil fuels ‘SILLY CUNTS’ to their faces.

What the hell?

Rotterdam is absolutely glorious. A proper city with just the right amount of tourists. I’d take it over Amsterdam any day.

You can’t tell how disgustingly hot it is here. But I’m loving having beers outdoors in this pretty street.

@alexpodyssey.bsky.social 👀

Absolutely fucking not

I do this.

Greetings from Rotterdam 😍

When you realise what’s missing 😬

I know it’s warm, but I’m having a glorious day at sea. It’s quite bracing here.

Goodbye UK 👋 (This might actually be the best way to travel to Europe that we’ve ever come across).

These people won’t stop until the UK is a smoking pile of rubble. We no longer need to ‘believe in Brexit’, we’ve seen it and it is a turd.

New independent economic research reveals EU membership could add up to 3.6% GDP growth in the long run, equivalent to more than £92bn. https://www.bestforbritain.org/eu_membership_to_supercharge_uk_economy_by_at_least_92bn_report_suggests

Cab driver: Are you following the World Cup? Me: No, not really our thing Cab Driver: Talks about the World Cup for 30 mins.

I had an hour to kill before by train so have popped in here for a pint and the excellent aircon

Imagine having a PM called ‘Andy’ and a chancellor called ‘Wes’ Brave new world.

I’d forgotten about the island of strangers speech. Vile.

As far as I’m concerned, Starmer’s biggest legacy is presiding over the UK dropping to only the 22nd best country in Europe for equal LGBTQ+ rights. Genuinely grim and unnecessary.

I firmly believe that none of this would be happening if the very first thing they did wasn’t to remove the winter fuel allowance for most pensioners.

Today will be spent mostly on trains. The AC better bloody work.

“The effort is so low that we consider it spam” Yes. 🎯

Meloni is obviously horrible, but this is glorious.

Just starting to book our winter travels for 26/27 🙃

This was horrible to film.

I woke up with this in my head… youtube.com/shorts/ri4Fs...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social please can we have a phone-in about how our Kemi was the real winner?

If you’re wondering why many YouTube videos have started to look the same, it’s because Gemini is now inside YouTube Studio and wants to suggest thumbnails for each video. I get that this is great if you don’t have any graphic design skills… but they really are shite. Who are these people?

I love that the Prime Minister from Love Actually has just turned up in Makerfield to support Burnham. ….Reform’s Rob Kenyon just has the ghost of Jimmy Savile.

It’s quite hard to tell whether people are racist or football fans these days, isn’t it?

Absolutely fucking knackered. And sunburned.

Day 2 of our mammoth journey. We’ll probably be travelling for 10 hours today (we’ve already done one).

It seems absolutely bonkers that Starmer’s reaction to Musk’s far-right platform inciting civil unrest is to ban a load of teenagers from using social media completely. He is a literal trillionaire; make him accountable for what’s published on that platform. FINE HIM IF HE DOESN’T DO IT.

Under 16s to be banned from social media, and a white supremacist who fuels riots on our streets, still allowed to run a whole platform.

Why would it be on the list? Only X exists as far as Westminster is concerned.

As long as the government remains on the fascist enabling X nobody can take anything they say seriously with regards to social media and safety

Well APPARENTLY they only do cars and also I'm banned for life

Don’t count them / can’t count them. 💙🦆🦢

Probably our favourite narrowboat episode ever: - The best drone work we’ve ever done - Haunted tunnel - Canal flyover (You can also see if you can spot me sniggering when Adam talks about a ‘scary passage’)

. @lizforleicester.bsky.social Hi Liz, just wondering if you fancy posting stuff on here every now and again? Or is it just the fascists that you want to announce things to these days? Thanks awfully x

We gave in. It’s mid June 🤡

If you’re still on X, I’m allowed to think you are disgusting. There is no excuse. None.

Of course the prime minister is posting on X about how bad the riot organised on X is. Fucking of course he is. An expression of complete subservience to the men in Silicon Valley and the White House who have instigated this moment.

After a very difficult few days (next week’s video will explain all of the many reasons why), this lovely rainbow is giving us hope.

This is the best sparkling water on the planet. Until recently, I’d only seen it in Barcelona. Reader, I’ve just purchased it from M&S.

The towpath bar is open 💙
