The head of the UK's leading anti-racism campaign group Hope not Hate wrote to Keir Starmer to complain about his "silence" in the face of a rising far-right threat. "At the time when people needed leadership there was silence. “And for the far right, that silence just emboldened them further"

So many people finding stray kittens and puppies. How fortunate they have phones that can film these unexpected encounters 🙄

Possibly my greatest Wordle achievement.

It's incredible how close the Red Arrows fly together, must take nerves of steel

RIP Stephen Luscombe. I saw Blancmange in 1983 and they were fabulous. One of the great singles bands driven by Stephen's keyboard wizardry. This remains one of my favourite TOTP performances. The Day Before You Came youtu.be/ihYA79bq0cs?...

it's real support from actual racists

"That's me, that is."

"A lot of people are seeing a rise in anti Muslim hate crime.. these are anti Muslim hate crimes & there doesn't seem to be any politician whose standing up & reassuring millions of Muslims in this country that the country is behind you" Well said @adilray.bsky.social #GMB

On the same day in the Telegraph:

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

What Starmer should be saying…

This frames it as an 'arrested for freedom of expression' issue rather than the more accurate 'arrested for threats of violence' issue. It's like being arrested for posting 'Punch all Methodists' and reporting it as 'Arrested for theological debate'.

Bloody Foreigner. Coming over here, with their 50th anniversary tour.

I have to show off 💅🏼

I saw someone painting a red cross on some white dog poo earlier. Made me proud. And nostaligic.

Can’t continue with this art fraud doc on BBC 2 because of the constant fucking underscore of mood music! Fuck off!

I recorded the audio version of my book this week, kids. This, along with the hard copy will be released in October but I’ve been informed you can preorder if you so desire. Have a lovely weekend! ♥️📚😘

I like presidents who know Slavery is bad, not "WOKE."

Stop scrolling, weary traveler, and rest for a moment

I didn't know they were making a new version

Knocking one out to the Sydney Sweeney advert but shaking my head so everyone else on the bus knows I disagree with it.

Excuse me - couldn't help but notice you were eating some cheese! I too, like cheese!

Motherfucking wind farms…

I know people will know but for people who don’t know, kids eat free at Pizza Express and Bill’s during the school holidays. As I have discovered in the last week during the school holidays.

I’ve written about TV’s best and worst historical epics

Chloe Kelly’s goal celebration face is the exact look my sister used to give me behind our mum’s back when I was being told off

Ozzy pays tribute to all Heavy Metal Ozzies. Rest in Peace.

I’ve deleted a repost because my old eyes saw boobs instead of a billowing dress. I fucking hate AI even when it isn’t!

Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...

Me pushing for a wealth tax on Good Morning Britain earlier

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1584

How very different ’Hi-De-Hi’ could have been.
