Remember when Gary Lineker, who as far as I know pays tax in the UK, was told to stick to football?

Tonight, Labour MPs voted to scrap the two child limit – a move that puts us on course to drive the biggest reduction of child poverty in a single Parliament. The Tories and Reform UK voted against it. Don’t let anyone tell you voting Labour doesn’t make a difference 🌹

This former sub-editor from a working class background just strained his neck nodding agreement with Ian.

I just heard this beautiful poem read by Martin Sheen, which seems apposite for our poor American friends today www.poetry.com/poem/9356/co...

At this juncture if a US Republican put pencils up their nose and said ‘wibble,’ no one would bat an eyelid. Except maybe the UK Reform Party, who would applaud.

t's #buyastrangerabook day. Possibly the greatest day of all. @notmoro.bsky.social is offering to buy one lucky person the book of their choice, up to £20! Any book. Not just what's on my website. So if there's a particular book you're after, get in touch! UK only

A still, as yet unclaimed #buyastrangerabook offer! @jenillustrates.bsky.social is offering to buy one adult (that's you) the book of their choice, up to £20! So, if you have a particular book you'd like, get in touch! UK only

I’m hearing that for #buyastrangerabook day today, there are books of your choice as yet unclaimed. If you wanted another book by Michael #Wombat on your shelf it might be fitting this week. Or you might buy one of his books for a stranger and potentially recruit a posthumous fan. #FuckCancer

We’re stuck with our history. Our mental health suffers when we’re preoccupied with things we can’t change. Put those facts together and every ‘problem’ we have is really an opportunity to take the lessons and make at least some of the crap go away. Actively have as happy a new year as possible.

This will make your 2026 better. Just go on Insta or YouTube and watch Tommy Tiernan listening to people. It is quite quite beautiful and actually makes you listen more deeply to them too. HAPPY NEW YEAR www.instagram.com/reel/DS127a-...

This is literally what the Telegraph campaigned for.

I wish you all exactly the Christmas you want and need this year. The one that will set you up nicely for the year in front of us ❤️

I love this

Benjamin is right. Reading this is like suddenly wearing glasses, or being plugged into Capra’s brain.

Happy Christmas Eve to all the readers: open.substack.com/pub/quantick...

This.

Some of you folks from The Old Place will remember, and have contributed to, my annual Comfort and Joy effort. That was inspired by the Christmas Cracker, a copy of which I always got as a gift from John Julius Norwich’s PA. She is about to celebrate her 102nd Christmas by the way!

I could use a laugh this morning, so: what are y'all's favorite Far Side cartoons?

Every Far Side cartoon is amazing, but having a science background, this is my personal favourite The cow slapping the man and his glasses coming off sends me every time

RIP Stanley Baxter

Will the FIFA peace prize be presented by the head coaches of Albania and Abadababaijan? It would seem appropriate.

Top of the Pops (1st December 1983). Pop perfection with Aztec Camera and 'Oblivious'.

Here we were. Have a listen.

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

They’re running Under Milk Wood as originally broadcast, for the first time, this weekend on R4 Extra. Obviously, it’s brilliant. And I highly recommend a listen. It still sounds amazing; truly timeless. The most dated bit is the credits - but, oh, those character names.

THIRTEEN YEARS AGO! Blimey. That time when I directed a bunch of my Twitter followers to get together for #POETRY. A lot of names have changed, some have disappeared, and some have, sadly, died in the intervening years. Ah, memories. youtu.be/ECDCuXlQFec?...

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down. He’s struggling to find any work at the moment. He’s a brilliant writer and has written for Dangermouse, Private Eye and many more… If you need a writer have a look at his website and please repost. www.mathew-owen.co.uk Thank you
