I mean if you hate the United States this shit is absolute cinema

Belgians haven’t put belt to ass like this since the Congo Free State

I’m available for all your DRC v England pre-game media please enquire within

It’s too damn hot. Milk was a bad choice

Suspect that, outside the fringes of the hard right, most people want to like the BBC, even to love it, and to defend it against threats of defunding. The problem is that its news and current affairs division is making that extremely hard just now

When Wissa’s equaliser went in yesterday I cried like a baby. First goal and point in World Cup history, what a moment. I will never besmirch bald men again.

Adult converts are not beating the allegations

I’m alive. Just.

My friend is dying and I need to get to Paris and every fucking ticket costs an arm and a leg wtf do I do

Oh you think you played no part in this that’s cute

Boyzone pausing in the middle of their farewell concert to lead 59,967 women and 33 men in reciting the Our Father might be the most peak Dublin Catholic it gets

If you sent me a dm last year then deleted your account, on the off chance you see this pls dm me again

Hi

"At Filton trial, reality is barely a defence" – a useful summary from @freedompress.bsky.social of the absolute absurdity of where we find ourselves right now freedomnews.org.uk/2026/05/14/a...

As they try to waterboard you into accepting that Wes Streeting could become Prime Minister, please remember I called all this stupidity 3 months ago and I’m only getting more right with every passing day

Hey Jude In this images, everything speaks without words, Look into their eyes then notice the cracked lips of the 2 girls, This is not a small detail it’s thirst, hunger, and suffering, No child should live like this ,plz Don’t look away😢😢 https://chuffed.org/project/129421

I love coming to Bluesky. Its like a school reunion except of people I actually like but you’ve all been put into a care home by your kids and the care home makes everyone read Karl Marx every day

Personally I think it’s very impressive that Keir Starmer has managed to cram an entire Temu Blair Premiership arc into only two years. That takes some forensic skill.

Me clicking red every time

As the circus continues I would like to draw attention to this article I wrote 2 months ago.

Life may have been giving me infinite lemons but I’ve somehow been successful in the Celine presale draw so swings and roundabouts

If everyone could stop dying for at least two months I’d really appreciate it

How can we proscribe Yvette Cooper

Friends fear she’s loading the gun to shoot at this govt again

‘Peter Mandelson is a case study for the way the Westminster ecosystem protects its own. Protecting the system, and the powerful men who feel entitled to benefit from it, matters more than protecting the people it harms.’ @judeinlondon.com on the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

England's richest areas have too many branches of Oliver Bonas. They are suffering too

I’ve never been so disgusted by a person as I am with Shabana Mahmood. This is McSweeney & Starmer’s legacy - ceding to the racist rhetoric of the far right in a complete abandonment of the Geneva Convention

I really want to understand why Americans think the past participle of shake is shooken and the only answer I’m coming up with is “elvis”

Everyone knows about that one they just overlook it because it’s easier to hate Madonna

And I played a “key role” in the 2012 Olympics because I was living in London. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I personally love how they’re going out of their way to prove the premise of my article for LRB correct

Just pitched an article about how exactly this kind of government short term calculations are leading to increased numbers of long term sick disability claimants, who the govt then punishes with cruel and punitive disability reforms

Imagine if the US and Britain had real opposition parties. Imagine being as clear eyed as @judeinlondon.com

‘Much of our politics now consists of performance rather than governance. The calculations are short-term by design: win the week, dominate the clip, neutralise the headline. The long-term consequences are outsourced to society to endure.’ @judeinlondon.com on the blog www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

Just to say, that the Dark Place (Twitter) has overtaken Bluesky for sharing this article. I wouldn’t have it personally I would definitely RT and share this. It’s not a competition…but it is.

‘Pollsters measure anxieties, newspapers amplify them and politicians recycle them as if prejudice were a natural resource to be responsibly extracted.’ @judeinlondon.com on the state we’re in, from the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

Furious clarity from Jude Wanga www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

‘This is the deeper problem with centrism: it wants the prestige of professing values without the cost of acting on them. It’s allergic to taking moral risks.’ @judeinlondon.com on the state we’re in, from the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

I wrote about how all our politicians and media are incompetent. I guess that means I’m officially back in the writing game

Missed the opportunity to say “that’s the sound of the police”

Hot takes! Hot takes! Commission your hot takes here!!

Can someone explain why Ian Holloway is crashing out in one post

He’s officially cooked. Even the sex pests have abandoned him.

This is the court case used to justify proscribing them as a terrorist group on par with Isis and Al Qaeda.

When you pitch something for the first time in years and then get beset by anxiety waiting for feedback 🫣😩😭

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say Hymne à l’Amour by Edith Piaf is arguably the greatest love song ever written.

You know, people say believe half of what you see And none of what you hear But I can’t *falsetto voice* heeeeelp but be confused

Spent the evening doing custom blends of my perfumes. Creed Aventus/Creed Royal Oud might be my fave yet
