Who's going to be the first to tell Couch Boy? I mean, the penny isn't even in the air, never mind being in any danger of dropping.

most excellent trees. This one looks straight outta fangorn.

Left: Greg Swenson, Chairman of Republicans Overseas UK says that President Trump saying that NATO troops stayed off the front line in Afghanistan was 'a mistake' #BBCQT Right: Greg Swenson at dinner with Nigel Farage and Liz Truss a couple of nights ago

This was my wife's idea, blame her #TheTraitors

Defund the BBC!!! Show us the banishment you cowards!!! #Traitors #TheTraitors

Two chests... #Traitors

Claudia walking in with the chests of fate. #TheTraitors

FUUUUUUUUUDGE!!!!! #Traitors

A symbol for the new Board of Peace in the preliminary stages..

Landmark television every bit as significant as The Ascent of Man

Sellers: You all gave Obama hell because wore a brown suit. But yet and still this man comes on stage in front of the world and he rambles and he misspeaks… he could have said that we solved the war between wakanda and namor. Republicans would have been like I'm glad we stopped that African country.

Remembering Malcolm McLaren on his birthday.

Lovely observation on Scofield’s subtle skill by John Hurt: youtu.be/TLWwZJEmO_Q?...

It’s Paul Scofield’s birthday. I taught Hamlet for decades and showed many versions to my students. All of them thought the best ghost was Scofield’s in Zeffirelli’s workmanlike Hamlet. Vulnerable, confused & quietly furious. Just majestic. He appears at 4.51 youtu.be/xH8cOhjdvHU?...

Recorded A Good Read, with Harriet Gilbert and Martin Edwards last night, both of whom were lovely. Our programme goes out on Radio 4 on Monday 23rd February, when you can find out what books we chose.

Starmer has played all of this very well. Farage would have sold out Denmark and Greenland to Trump as sure as eggs is eggs.

Just catching up on tonight’s Traitors. Big Father Dougal energy from Matthew.

After my last album BREAK THE DARK I’m working on new music. I don’t intend it to become the basis of songs. I want to explore sound design using field recordings and synth/sampled sound. I have treated myself to a hydrophone, binaural mics and a couple of Zoom digital recorders. I do love tech.

Quisling

Still convinced James is Jasper Carrott cosplaying as David Tennant #TheTraitors

To steal from Bill Hicks, did European leaders just show Trump the Kennedy assassination from a completely different angle?

His arse has fallen out. All you have to do with bullies is stand up to them.

The whole world Sure Janning so hard right now.

“Tinky-Winky!!!”

"BOUNCER!!!"

JOE MAPLIN

Another proud day for America.

“Wotcha Dave”

"GRANDAD TUMBLE!!!!"

Just play this loud in the main hall in #Davos ... youtu.be/wQd4JdFP0d0?...

Can we get Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard to Davos to represent us and do his Borg speech about drawing a line in the sand etc.?

Video of Mark Carney's full speech in Davos. One for the history books.

Fingers crossed they put one of these plays on just so they can experience no one going to see them.

Thinking about how slow some people (who would love it) have been to get on Bluesky, and it occurred to me Twitter was 5 years in before it really took on household-name status. I've persuaded two people to join today. I challenge you to do the same. (No dicks.)

This should be posted under every post Farage sends and quoted at him in every interview he gives - forever.

Trump gives the inaugural address to his fellow members of The Board of Peace.

Trump gives the inaugural address to his fellow members of The Board of Peace.

'As the train drew out of the station she sat with her head bowed in shame, because the town she had lived in for nearly ten years had not wanted a bookshop.'

Just saw a “sum up” of Trump’s first year, on local channel KTLA, and if you think Americans watching this kind of local news are getting a true picture of the nation they are living in, I am really sorry to tell you, you are horribly mistaken…

#IDontFollowTheFadBut enjoy the laugh

Took my little compact camera for a Soho walk this afternoon. (Should probably do more of that.) It's worth about £200, and I love it because it operates manually with a very similar user interface to a pro camera. You don't have to spend a lot.

Please try to blank out the orange arsehole and cleanse your mind with the incredible starling murmuration from tonight's Winterwatch (from about 28 mins) www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Macron looks like he’s about to Men in Black memory wipe the world and I’m here for it.

Best read of 2026 so far. @willhodgkinson.bsky.social An antidote to those ‘celebrities’ that really aren’t. ‘If Lawrence really did achieve the goal he had been announcing to anyone who would listen… what would he become? Just another famous person, and who needs another one of them?’

"Je t'aime... moi non plus" plays...
