How many ‘patriots’ will be arrested today, do you think? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

Just putting this out here again after events this week.

Great Birmingham half marathon done ✅ Almost four minutes slower than last year at 2:12:37, but great fun (apart from the last mile up the side of the Selfridges building). Well done to everyone that took part - it’s a great event.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars”, “Star Trek”, “Dr. Who”, or “Transformers.”

This should be all the evidence we need that the US cannot be trusted while Trump is in charge. Let’s pivot instead towards our friends and allies in Europe, whose values we share. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Liberated this from a nearby streetlight today while out running today. Stewart Lee would be proud of me 🤣

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... Well, would you believe it. It turns out Tice is a massive hypocrite.

I can’t help but feel that the people who put all these England flags up everywhere would have shown true patriotism if they had instead spent their time picking up litter in the communities they say they care so much about.

Strong words. Well said, @timfarron.bsky.social 👏 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Every word of this.

This isn’t going to end well.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Perhaps they could ‘concentrate’ while they are in these ‘camps’ 🤔

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... This is where I live. It’s about as Middle England as it gets - and is probably 98% white British. The person who set up the GoFundMe page wrote a load of barely sentient nonsense about his motives - and I’d be pretty certain it isn’t locals funding it.

I once asked Roy Hattersley the time on a train at Birmingham International railway station.

@matthew-wright.bsky.social - fascinating discussion on vaccine hesitancy this morning. These measles stats - showing measles cases down by more than 99% since 1940 - would appear to disprove the theory that ‘big pharma’ is acting in its own interests. www.gov.uk/government/p...

In totally unrelated news, Thames Water’s pipes leak 570 million litres of fresh water every single day - almost 10 litres for every human in the UK. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Labour must avoid ‘naive’ lurch to right after Reform success, Haigh warns Louise Haigh is right.

This flyer has been going out in Kent, and Reform UK there are getting incredibly grumpy about it. They hate being called out with facts. Let’s share it.

I might just be a miserable middle-aged man, but this is something I can definitely get behind. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Beautiful sunset in Worcestershire this evening.

Putin questioning the legitimacy of Zelenskyy’s leadership is quite ironic, given he simply kills all of his political opponents.

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social - am I going mad, or did I just hear Trump blame DEI hires for the plane crash - and is he inferring the ATC was lacking in mental capacity? Jaw-dropping.

Starmer sounds unusually bullish at today’s #PMQs. Swatting away Badenoch like an irritating gnat.

Awful news. Tony was a comic genius to me as a young man growing up in the 1980s. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

A great politician, who went on to genuine good after his presidency ended. A salutary lesson to many leaders today. Rest in Peace, Jimmy Carter. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Very festive 😏

Musk could literally buy and then destroy western democracy. Terrifying.
