He's right, you know. "Speaking at the Royal Institution in his final laureate lecture, The Kids Are Not Alright, the children’s laureate linked falling shared reading rates to poverty, housing insecurity and social media." www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

people who voted for a monorail to improve their lives have - despite the monorail making them poorer - voted for a new, more racist, & impoverishing monorail to improve their lives

We asked summit co-host @tinabrownlm.bsky.social what issues her late husband Sir Harry Evans would be keen to tackle at Truth Tellers: “He would have a lot to say about the media owners caving into Trump.” Tune in to Truth Tellers 2026 on 6 May at sirharrysummit.org

Early stroll. The pavement is a work of art that’s Not For Sale. A bird lands on the head of a stone lion. The sky’s wealth of cloud, wealth of light. The low note vowels of a passing plane. A cat running like time does, quickly and silently.

A group dedicated to removing flags put up by some racist nutters on lampposts in Shrewsbury have trained multi cultural squirrels to shimmy up poles and eat the offending articles.

They had 'Head Shear-an' & didn't use it 🙄 Also 'The Nape Of You' Ffs, the goal was wide open.

Genius! This has all the makings of a comedy drama www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh, and, since it’s the subtext, there should be UBI. Or at least we should stop doing what we do to the poor for them to earn the name. They don’t need to fucking tapdance in shit for our amusement.

Reminded me a bit of Carol Morley’s Typist Artist Pirate King. They’d make a great double bill.

This is astonishing stuff. It’s on the iPlayer and made me cry furiously. It’s beautiful — basically about art and poverty, about access and what happens when talent strikes outside privilege. The rage in it is invigorating. And the art itself is incredible. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

Roy has bought me a spoon for Easter.

This is gonna be worth something someday.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

This BBC News Online piece will be the most effective publicity my new documentary about Flight into Danger gets. So if you have enjoyed the programme, think you may enjoy it, or are just a kind soul, if you could please share this anywhere you think it may be worth sharing, I'd be very grateful!

Have sold my flat in Croydon but what a performance.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

I had no idea that Billie Holiday was so popular in Ambridge. #TheArchers

Today it is raining and last night it was very stormy. I am on duty today and I have to clean the toilets and I have gone stock car racing and could you tell mum to get somebody to pick me up saturday 8 o'clock night. Susan

Headline in today's Broadcast "Gary Barlow takes Jason Manford to New Zealand for ITV Travelogue" feels like the last straw. Stop telling us there's no money to make TV when you're sending dull millionaires on free holidays. FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Who is watching this shit? *eye twitch*

A bit annoyed because I arranged my whole week for you coming - only to receive a - to say the least - strange card from you. Please can you be definite about your dates as I am very busy businesswise.

The ITV Retro YouTube channel just uploaded one of the greatest movies ever made. It's sumptuous and sensual in a way that still amazes for a film that's almost 80 years old. Don't watch it on your phone though - this deserves the big telly.

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims fought in the world wars. The armies that fought+won the second world war against fascism had an ethnic + faith mix that matches the Britain of 2025 more than that of 1939-45, so arrival of Windrush is the story of black RAF servicemen returning to Britain in 1948

Banksy’s greatest trick is not remaining anonymous, it’s convincing a significant proportion of the populace that he has remained anonymous.

We didn't go to the place on the postcard it's just a spare one Gran had.

I think the Driver of the car who dobbed George in was motivated by penis envy. So it was probably Mick after all. #TheArchers
