Coops

So America helped Russia murder Ukrainians, including baby Anhelina in a stroller, and after CBS reported it the page is down? I am enraged that America is helping Russia in its genocide www.cbsnews.com/news/photos-...

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Man City: The Abu Dhabi government paid Etihad, we knew nothing. Etihad: We are not funded by the Abu Dhabi government. Also Etihad: we will sue the Premier league for accusations that we are funded by the Abu Dhabi government. 😂😂😂

If the UAE is really threatening billions over Manchester City, that’s exactly the kind of political influence that demands scrutiny. When wealth and power get special access, ordinary people deserve accountability.

Carey's coming for your asses Breaking windows as she passes Dog notes voice will cause destruction Warbling noise of strange construction

Hard agree!!!

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

Remember, it’s perfectly acceptable if your weekend plans consist of nothing other than reading a good book, drinking multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of chocolate croissants.

I'd like to see Craig David Unplugged, eventually. #totp

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

In the movie version of this, after Piddington runs out of food water and money as a result of leaving the UK, the residents apply for asylum and end up housed in a military base, with HILARIOUS consequences. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why can't they integrate?

I think we're at the point where we can incredibly comfortably say that your attitude towards Reform, Restore, MAGA, the AfD etc is how you'd have responded to fascism in the 1930s

It does give Reform's "enemies" a frame, too: Reform is on the side of the crypto criminals – both Delo and "posh George" – who are paying its bills. Accepting major contributions from one convicted criminal looks unfortunate. Two looks like carelessness.

I'm not sure I will ever forgive Starmer's government for their rank cowardice in not addressing electoral reform and party funding reform.

Reform is the richest party in Britain. Its leaders are almost all millionaires. It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires. It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing. So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just Arron Banks flaunting his racism.

Ed Miliband’s parents survived the Holocaust, Ed Miliband is Jewish - that is immutable Questioning his Jewishness like this tells you all you need to know about people like this, and what their values are - and what they truly think about Jewish people that don’t behave how they want them to

Ryan Bridge - Founder of "Raise the Colours" flag protests - charged with 14 offences including common assault. Danny Thomas - ringleader of Dover/Portsmouth thuggery - an ex-con jailed for attempted kidnap at knifepoint. Almost like they're not "ordinary people with concerns" but criminals.

This should be the easiest open goal in the world for a progressive government - they are literally violent criminals. Most voters do not like violent criminals.

*taps the sign*

If no other picture survives Reform UK conference this year, let it be this one. It is a teachable moment. #ReformAssault #Fascism

This is apparently what it means to be 'proud and British'. You hide your identity and act like thugs.

It's a mob of racist arseholes.

Shittest episode ever? #totp

At what point does a British by-election get awarded to the silver medalist, à la Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis? Asking for a friend of a friend, i.e. me. #Clacton

I don't know who needs to hear this, but yes, you do deserve a sweet treat and a bookshelf with a rolling ladder.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

The media will never “learn” because it has no interest in learning - it is doing what it is meant to do. Don’t consider that what was done to Jason Arday will lead to “lessons being learned” - it is not what the model exists for

Just remembered the Dolly Parton bus.

Dolly Parton sent free books to the girls when they were being fostered. The first book I ever read to them was one she had helped pay for. May perpetual light shine upon her.

First family snap from new season’s Bake Off!! It starts on Channel 4 in September, though I haven’t got an exact date to give you yet. As soon as I know, I’ll tell you. (And I have no info on timings for other territories, I’m afraid.) I couldn’t be happier!

The press needs urgent reform and an inquiry into all aspects of its behaviour including Leveson 2 needs to happen now. Journalists focusing on academia right now are just desperate blame shifting.

As usual, some great insights from Steve. Very much worth a read.
