Amazing. Now please leave it alone.

This is what a courtier says.

Farage's sartorial choices really ring the changes with seasonal variations on golf club bore, Boxing Day hunt hanger-on, garden-party fash (with union jack brothel creepers) and yacht club bore. His navy blazer, deck shoes, and hastily donned black tie ensemble the other day was quite something.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

BBC Radio 4's Common Ground just now investigating whether "woke has gone too far." At this point it feels like the national broadcaster is nothing but a threat to democracy.

One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Good. Good. Good. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It's very easy to give them the slip if you're meeting with your dodgy friends though, just look at Boris Johnson.

I don't understand how you can do this and not go to prison. This is misappropriation of tax revenue. How much NHS hospital air conditioning would this pay for? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Farage: "Everyone needs to understand, *I'm* the victim here"

No, it's just that she's so vain and self-obsessed that she cannot permit an unflattering image of herself to appear anywhere - ever. Not for this, not for anything. That she might be photographed with an expression other than her permapout is hugely risky. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Well it’s taken a while, but I give you my latest embroidery, it’s a little different but still very much me, if that makes any sense. 😅 I hope you enjoy all the same.🪡🌿🌺🪻✨ *completely freehand stitched using the needle like a paintbrush. #stitchedart #embroidery #thesewingsongbird

If you want to see an openly fascistic policy, here it is. Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Cornish are native languages of these islands. They are all recognised by law in the UK. And you can bet Reform wouldn't stop there.

Mehrgan Namavar, a poet from Dehdasht, was arrested by security forces at her home in the city on Sunday, July 5, and her whereabouts remain unknown to this day. mass arrest of women continues in #Iran

The network.

"Sleaze" is a tabloid term that aims at watering down what we're really talking about: corruption and crime.

I think you mean strong will, Gary Neville, which is not the same as a massive ego. There are plenty of mediocre people with massive egos. There's one in the White House, for starters.

Tuchel is like every German parent on exam results day

Bellingham is a class act and no mistake.

I don't think they're praying to who they think they're praying to.

I'm pretty neutral for this match, but England dilly dallying in their own penalty area is making me feel anxious 😂

Take a breath. Drop your shoulders away from your ears. For over a decade, we have carried the weight of the world together. We have watched, we have resisted, and we have cared deeply. But carrying that macro-world 24/7 is not sustainable.

Like a tom cat marking his territory with decals and literalism.

Demented old man has the power to launch a nuclear war. He is a raging threat to humankind. Please Congress- you must impeach him

There's always a fungal answer.

I think it's so hard to get people to realize how serious this is because once you look at the data and understand it you know that your kids, are FUCKED. And nobody wants to know that.

Breaking News! Code: UFB!!! It's official! The "Super El Nino" has begun, with Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperatures now 2.0°C (3.6°F) above the 1991-2020 baseline. The Climate 8-ball is getting racked.

Half my feed today is about the heatwave and the climate crisis. And then this. It’s insanity.

Very frightening. The antipodean summer season is likely to be horrific.

I priggishly swore I'd boycott this World Cup because of You Know Who. As usual with me, that resolution lasted all of five minutes. It's been frigging brilliant and now I'm getting anticipatory withdrawals.

Every supermarket in my town is sold out of ice lollies. Just managed to track some down in a Co-op. I class that as a win.

The world needs to put the same pressure on Israel that we did on apartheid South Africa in the 1980s. Sanctions now.

He has to take instructions from his boss before meeting with Zelensky. It says so in his contract.

I disliked Widdecombe's views intensely. But no 78 year-old woman should die by violence in their own home. It's just an awful thing.

#PhantomsFriday New acquisition found earlier today in a charity bookshop, 'Ghosts of the Lake Counties' by Gerald Findler from 1977, with a number of line drawings by E. Gower of the ghosts within.

Meta is contaminating public water supplies with deadly bacteria. Cupriavidus gilardii is resistant to multiple antibiotic agents (even Carbapenems) and can cause fatal human infections.

More on the report by UK security services that Keir Starmer's government has gone out of its way to suppress. This is existential, and Starmer's "business as usual" technocrats are asleep at the switch. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Kemi Badenoch manages to sound more human and empathetic than the Prime Minister. Not a sentence I thought I'd ever write. But Starmer's rehearsed sanctimony is like nails down a blackboard.

There is no more appropriate reaction to this kind of necromancy than a deep, guttural scream. This isn’t just inhuman, it’s anti-human. Grotesque, profane, macabre. I would run out of words before running out of disgust when grasping to describe this horror.

He does seem like a really sweet guy.
