Well that was coming. Shite.

Pasta for tea. Can’t see fusilli without thinking of this. #Jimmeeeeeeeee

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

UNHCR reporting 3m Iranians have been displaced so far since war with US and Israel. Thousands are already refugees from Afghanistan. How many are the UK taking? Remember we took over 200,000 Ukrainians.

What an interesting life. Met Elvis, Ali, Keith Moon. Also, he's met my Dad.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

You in another decade

On #IWD2026, it feels fitting to sing the praises of this extraordinary book, read beautifully by Emma Thompson. If you’ve yet to read it, please do. Gisèle Pelicot’s strength, courage & basic human decency ring out from its pages - as does the grotesque misogyny of her courtroom experience...

Pure, simple happiness in its most joyful form 😊

Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

JCB has failed to cut off supply, distribution & servicing, its activities sustain Israeli settlements & demolitions, supplying equipment for building and destroying Palestinian property in Israeli occupied lands.

Apparently we posted this on this day in 2019, and I have managed to completely erase it from my brain until now. “The Breadhouse in Chalfont St Peter” is absolutely the filthiest sexy slang.

I slept in King Charles' bed.

Austria, Romania and the UK are the latest nations to say they will boycott Friday's opening ceremony of the @Paralympics in Verona. At least 14 countries have refused to cooperate with the decision to allow the bloody flags of Belarus and Russia to be paraded in the Colosseum.

How everyday feels. Then you remember we are all in this together. And we have been doing this for years.

I think we're close to the episode where he takes a mouse out of a cage and drops it into his mouth.

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

Been in Ipswich about 10 minutes and already seen a man on a Penny Farthing. To be fair, he was going faster than the traffic.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

This video, viewed 9.5 million times, claims to show a US F15 fighter jet being shot down by an Iranian missile in Kuwait. The video is not real. It's from a military video game.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: "Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Difficult to argue these are targeted strikes. Tehran is being carpet bombed. (🎥 Tehran Times)
