An excellent point to raise by Zack Polanski, leader of Green Party ...💯💔🇬🇧 It wasn't the r*cism, rule breaking or corruption that got Jenrick the sack from the Tory Party – but the r*cism, rule breaking and corruption will get him a demotion/promotion to Reform Limited!

They must never have a moment's peace, for the rest of their godforsaken lives.

They *really* don’t want to release those Epstein files.

Here we go again 2026.

Potentially unpopular opinion: Citizenship should never be stripped from anyone, even if a person has joint nationalities.

The perfect museum doesn’t exi-

Merry Christmas!

Cowards.

I’m calling it now, this won’t change. The 4 best books I’ve read this year (obvs not counting re-reads) in no particular order: Managing and Other Lies - @willowtalksbooks.bsky.social The Black Coast - @mikebrooks668.bsky.social Retribution Falls - Chris Wooding Anxious People - Fredrick Blackman

Full top 5.

Up until a few months ago my job was busy but quite easy and @willowtalksbooks.bsky.social is FANTASTIC to listen to in the background.

Packing is coming along nicely.

Ciao Torino.

As a lifelong hate-watcher of #BBCQT it's been incredible to see the tone shift in last night's prog with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on. It should have never been that hard to call for common sense - and actually popular - policies. Someone is actually doing it. Quick 🧵

I feel dirty now. Thanks Badenoch. Has she *actually* properly read any of his works? I genuinely don’t see how you can enjoy the comedy and fully appreciate the messages of Pratchett’s novels and still be a Tory.

Chorley not.

We’re now officially proud apple tree owners. Oh and we bought a house.

Charlie Kirk never cared about debates.

One of us. One of us. One of us.

As a @greenparty.org.uk member, I kinda do want Your Party to succeed (in alliance with the Greens). BUT, if it does fall apart, there’s always an alternative join.greenparty.org.uk

Better too late than never, I guess.

very strange to check UK news websites and see that the top story is not anything happening in our country, or anything about ukraine, gaza or so on, but some american podcaster getting shot

I mean, if he has to step down being an MP to do so, I wouldn’t be completely opposed.

We don’t know who killed Kirk yet. But it’s overwhelming and has always been the right committing acts of political violence.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

Tough choice for Starmer to sack Mandelson, but we can all agree it was masterful of him to only do this after 48 solid hours saying he would not sack him because he really really likes and trusts the guy who supported the most famous paedophile the world has ever known.

Mandelson’s links to Epstein were already long known. Why on earth he was made an ambassador in the first place is beyond me.

They’ll ask you to mourn the deaths they mourn, and no others. They’ll ask you to cherish the lives they cherish, and no others.

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

The murder of Kirk is bad optics, bad tactics and is ultimately wrong. I just wish the tens of thousands of Palestinians who were slaughtered by the IDF had got even a fraction of sympathetic coverage Kirk is getting now by mainstream media outlets.

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

Fuck them all. Absolute money grabbing cowards. Also, briefly leaving aside ALL THAT, truly bizarre choices for casting. Kit Harrington as Lockhart? Amongst other odd decisions. And why are characters for book 5 being announced now? They’re still filming book 1. Utterly baffling.

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.

Guess Who but vibes only.

Labour’s strategy of cosying up to the far-right isn’t even proving to be good electoral politics. For the 859th time, what’s the point of Labour?

This is a clear incitement to violence. I’m glad Glinner was arrested over it.

See, THIS is the sort of thing that stirs the deepest feelings of patriotism I can muster (it's not something that comes naturally to me). 10/10. No notes.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Democrats need to hammer home the fact that Republicans are completely fine with children being riddled with bullets as they repeatedly sabotage all attempts to introduce even the most modest of gun controls. They won’t, as they’re cowards. But we can dream.

The Liberal Democrats have 72 MPs. Reform have 4 🙃

Another day another arsehole playing music out loud on their speakers on public transport. I like this idea, as long as it’s enforceable. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Been to see the theatrical performance of ‘Daughter of Time.’ Fewer spiders than expected.

Last week was my birthday “week”. Ngl it’s the (2nd - see below) best I’ve ever had. I’m now kinda weirdly and painfully happy. Not a happiness that leaves me perpetually grinning, but a warm sense of self-love that I know, love & care for amazing people who feel the same back.

Talk to your neighbour! Start train spotting! Consider tennis! Get a dog and go to puppy classes! What of lawn bowls? What of music lessons! Learn to ceilidh dance! Take French! MY GOD LADS IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE FASCISM.

Terribly sorry that the chaps are lonely again, have they tried volunteering? Only, there’s an awful lot needs done.

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all. The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

Lovely. Well done England. Now give me a bank holiday!

Breaking: a few Labour MPs have some form of a spine.

I've received a quite fascinating email. This person claims they've singlehandedly blocked 33 sales of my books. Any chance I can get 34 books sold off this to annoy them? Please RT! UK: www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=sophia+m... or US: www.amazon.com/s?k=sophia+m...
