Look. People get divorced for all manner of reasons, and it's nobody else's business. However. When a politician is using the slogan: Family. Community. Country. It's perfectly reasonable to point out that they are recently divorced and live in the SE of England miles from Gorton and Denton.

Imagine being in your 30s, going into hospital and then being denied the right to go home again The state of disability rights in the UK in 2026 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

❤️ New Jersey always and forever. The F.U.C.K.I.C.E. bill

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

Mandelson ruining be gay do crimes for everyone

We may have won silver but our players have a heart of gold 💛 unlike the disgusting US team and their behaviour in that locker room. The misogyny towards the female hockey team. Disgusting 🤮 but unfortunately this Canadian is not surprised in the least.

Don't let them try to pin this on the left or on racial or sexual minorities like they always try to do.

If you want concentration camps in the UK, people being grabbed off the streets, or murdered on them, five year olds being separated from their parents and locked up #VoteReform

John Davidson cannot control his profanity, as the show was broadcast on a delay, the BBC however could have edited this out, because they definitely edited out Akinola Davies Jr saying “Free Palestine”.

“The guy did a great job for a competitive rate. I’m really pleased with it”

When you say “only the vulnerable” are at risk… you’re saying that vulnerable people are expendable. When you say “only those with pre existing conditions will die”… you’re saying our lives don’t matter. You can become one of the “vulnerable” at any time. Many of us were healthy…until we weren’t.

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

The Rest is Politics lads, the legends on The Newsagents and the big heroes down LBC are all earning the big bucks telling us things like "this latest development with Andrew is bad for the Royal Famly", big thanks to the guys, what insight!

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Dear Lucy Powell, A response to your letter:

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

Detectives investigating Andrew have asked the FBI and DOJ for unredacted copies of the Epstein Files, via the National Crime Agency.

So..... how's YOUR week going so far?

They say that the really guilty see visions of Raguel, Angel of Vengeance at the moment of their downfall…

And every time we ape their sociopathic and narcissistic behaviour to game the system they created, online, or at work, we normalise the sort of behaviour that should be a red flag for other members of a cohesive society and allow them to hide in plain sight…

I know the cynics think nothing will happen about the Epstein files but a member of the British royal family has just been arrested on his birthday. Pretty unheard of, at least in this century.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

We’ve been here before …. haven’t we 🤨 #Brexit #DublinAgreement

the ai situation is a nice summation of how capitalism's deepening crises and cannibalisation are also a way by which it launders its own reputation and protects itself. everyone is constantly nostalgic for the exploitation of ten years ago

I take immunosuppressive medications so detrimental to my blood cell counts, that I need regular blood monitoring. The fact that no medical centre I attend ever insists on masks and sanitiser around folks like me is some “ideology over science” bullshit that I can never forgive the right for.

For all of you who kept quiet when Wes Streeting banned puberty-blockers for trans kids because you believed the pseudoscientific Cass Review. This is what happens if we let them remove healthcare from one group. Read the poem, it applies to healthcare also.

Reform's poll numbers stagnated about six months ago and now they're starting to diarrhoea downwards. This is because Farage stops looking quite so fresh and enticing when he opens his mouth to reveal: a privately-educated Thatcherite with nothing new under the sun to offer.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Please, I beg you, for the love of G-d, if Google AI or ChatGPT says you don't need a lawyer to do something, TALK TO A LAWYER ANYWAY. PLEASE.

Preachers, teachers, writers, journalists, storytellers, poets, and historians… Keepers of stories are fundamental to continuation and development of the human race. Capital tries to co-opt and corrupt our efforts, but ultimately, a story can never be owned, because to exist, it has to be shared.

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

My interview this morning on Sky News. Questions on NATO, Palestine Action and Starmers authoritarianism. youtu.be/bTpWvNn78Zg?...

I have the privilege of performing poems at the Young Barbican Takeover Festival on the 29/03/26 🧡 In addition to poetry performances, there's cinema screenings and workshops and a makers' market! Book your festival pass here (it gets you into all the events) www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202...

IMHO the reason blundering, bloviating, bigoted billionaires get the benefit of the doubt, and attendant toadies insisting their ignorance is cunning strategy (4D chess, anyone?). Is the fact that if we ever collectively admit we have elevated solipsistic degenerates, we’d be duty bound to remedy it

You're about to see reports that Jim Ratcliffe has apologised. He hasn't. He said he was sorry if his language offended anyone.

There is a small child reading out the train announcements on the way home to London and it is so fricking wholesome I can’t begrudge him fact he just said “arriving slowly” instead of “arriving shortly”…

There's no patriot like a Monaco-based patriot.

Imagine fucking up so bad that the Roddenberry Foundation goes out of its way to say you misunderstood the point of Star Trek.

In her @newscientist.com column, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein did not mince words: Elon Musk has misunderstood the point of Star Trek. The idea that a heavily corporate and militarized approach to exploration will create a prosperous future? Illogical. @chanda.blacksky.app

It is not an accident that the overwhelming majority of working-class voices we hear are either known to us personally or support the interests of Capital.

If power cannot tame and co-opt an intellect, it will neuter and/or excise it.

I'm reading poetry subs at Strange Horizons this month. You can submit up to 6 speculative poems in a single file or separate files. I recommend separate files, because we allow simultaneous submissions and it's easier to withdraw individual poems. Guidelines: strangehorizons.com/submit/poetr...

Once again, I am asking you to understand that taxing the rich is the *moderate* position, because while eating them is metaphor made hyperbolic, guillotines exist. Socialism or barbarism is the choice; it always has been.

Absolutely honoured to be named @attitudemag.bsky.social trailblazer of the year in their #101 list. As a gay man, I know it's a worrying time for our LGBTIQA+ community. We are under attack. When they come for one of us, they come for all of us. And we will stand together.

<staff kitchen> NAZGUL #1: I just... NAZGUL: #2: What? N#1: Like... Seriously? We're hunting HOBBITS now? N#2: I mean okay but clue was in the name N#1: True, but still WITCH KING <entering>: Hey N#1: Hey N#2: Hey <Witch King leaves with coffee> N#1: Maybe we should have said something N#2: Maybe

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

This convo has been had so many times but it’s worth repeating - most left wing people in 2026 are progressives who aren’t keen on things like Reformy style immigration policies or cuts to welfare for disabled ppl. They aren’t checking state spending rates in their analysis of left vs right

With Cruttenden pulling out of the comedy show tonight, Widdecombe and Conaty will be doing extended sets. Which just goes to prove... Josh and Roisin gig longer with Hal gone.
