Murderous dictator Vladimir Putin slaughtered children in a park in Ukraine on Tuesday and Steve Witkoff praised him as a "humanitarian" on Wednesday. If you're not repulsed and disgusted, you just might be a sick and twisted piece of shit yourself.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

@mrjamesob.bsky.social When did you do this organised sport at your school? Was it after "normal school hours" (after 3:30 or so) or did it replace lesson time? I can't see anyone being happy about extending the school day for "compulsory games", as good as that may be long-term.

If you don’t know about it, it’s a really amazing needs-blind thing and just sends well-judged books to kids until they’re five with a note from Dolly. Getting to open something in the post every month is a key bit of the fun. You can donate to your local bit of it: donate.imaginationlibrary.com

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

Born OTD in 1908 was composer, arranger, and conductor Barry Gray! He was responsible for the scores of the television series and films produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson from Twizzle to the first season of Space:1999! The Thunderbirds theme is certainly a classic- but what's your favourite?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

#OTD - 11 July 1950 Andy Pandy began on BBC Television as part of the For the Children strand. Created by Freda Lingstrom and Maria Bird. Andy never spoke; Audrey Atterbury operated him with visible strings, and Janet Ferber provided the songs. Each episode ended with "Time to go home".

Which means, there are some MAJOR fucking skeletons that need uncovering, as you don't just do that if - as he claimed - the party YOU lead has topped over 350 of the most recent political polls.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Emma is definitely worth following if you don’t already. Dissects gotcha headlines and shows how our press is basically in the gutter.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...
