Some of you may have seen this already, if you haven't, watch, then reshare with those you know, should see it. Have a great day guys!

Seems like an appropriate song for today! youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?... cc @chrisstein.bsky.social

Based on tomorrow's expected announcement linking Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) to autism - here's what the actual science says. The most rigorous studies show NO causal link when genetics are properly controlled. Autism is complex with 100+ genes involved, not a single-cause condition.

Don't forget - the TV Licence is optional. You don't HAVE to fund the BBC. Without one you can still watch... just about everything. www.tvlicensing.co.uk/faqs/FAQ265

Damn, I hopes we’d be rid of those crackpots.

Global warming is a "hoax." But it's killing everyone.

Russia actively checking responses, country by country. It’ll be our turn next. Time to recognise there’s a hybrid war going on, whether we like it or not.

spokesperson for Sadiq Khan: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

Elon Musk’s Father Accused of Child Sexual Abuse Errol Musk has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993... Would be curious how far back this goes to earlier children. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Today is #HobbitDay because both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway come and boromir #Tolkien books.

comment masquerading as a news headline

Farage wants the UK to quit the ECHR. It is exactly what Putin wants, for the UK to join Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. It would be a huge victory for Putin in his war against human rights and the international rule of law. Farage is a traitor.

Unrecognisable.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Eunuch flute? There are so many political poseurs wanting to be taken seriously, it’s hard to pick one. I think Nigel Flappergob. Though it might equally be Agent Orange.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

Don’t you find it a bit strange that 85% of parties that can field candidates in Scottish local and national elections aren’t actually based in Scotland? #IndependenceIsNormal

The need to ditch Scotland’s colonial status, get free of Westminster policies, and build a decent nation where we support one another.

Oh, my studies of yore returning to haunt me.

Gotta admit, bringing peace between Cambodia and Armenia is impressive and it's true that nobody thought it could be done. Legendary leadership here. 😬

I briefly wondered once again when the BBC would ever get professional with its political coverage; then I went back to ignoring it. It wants a licence fee for this? Fat chance.

Oh, the defensive body language.

If you don't want - people getting sick from water pollution - pensioners dying from cold not able to afford bills - children dying from mould in slum housing while water & energy company bosses & landlords revel in tax avoiding wealth you are now "Hard Left" #SocialistSunday

Not my King

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Ed Davey: “If Musk comes to the UK he should be arrested.” He has branded Elon Musk a criminal and called for him to be prosecuted for “allowing online harm to children” on his social media platform X.

"We don’t have to all agree on quite what comprises a decent life, but the whole country should be unified in its determination to ensure that everyone gets to have one" An interesting new report from PBE reminding us yet again about the importance of a wellbeing economy. pbe.co.uk/publications...

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.

!!! Sound down !!! Blue jay announces its arrival at the birdbath before taking a bath. Lovely look at its long, mosaic of blue, black and white tail and wings. #birds

RAC since forever. They don’t insist on “only our vans” and in our experience get someone to you wherever you are.

This piece on the complete domination of aviation emissions talks by the air industry and lobby disappeared down the headlines yesterday. Willie Walsh features but BoJo's bombastic fantasy of "Jet Zero" should as well.

I think he means Brexit was worth it even though it made OTHER people poorer. Twat.

Franglais explanation just in case « Beaucoup » if mis pronounced sounds like « beautiful arse » to French speakers « Discount » if said French way sounds like « this cunt » to English speakers You’ve been warned!!

See if you can get any old tracks of Ted Heath speaking French (at least he loved Europe!). A French colleague once told me she learned a lot about English pronunciation from that.

Not for me to tell you what you must read, but this is really powerful.

Flying in to London Heathrow this morning. Above the chaos in the world below, Mother Nature putting on a show to remind me there is more to life. As she unfurls her orange robes across the sky, a time to breathe and be thankful, and to make the most of each day. 😊 #calm #nature #life #photography

Hi All, I spent much of the week meeting with people immersed in a discussion of preparing European militaries for the future. As part of this, I have developed a six step process that could help determine how militaries should be prepared for the future. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Lord Peter Mandelson did not disclose in the House of Commons register two flights he took at Jeffrey Epstein’s expense in 2003 worth a total of $7,486, raising further questions about their relationship. www.ft.com/content/4cf6...

Wrong tense. Not ‘is shattering’. ‘Has shattered’. Irrevocably.

So, just like human doctors then?
