September 28, 1963: "New Phil Silvers Show" debuts on CBS. It centers around a factory foreman who is always involved in get-rich-quick schemes.

Just catching up on Channel 4’s investigation into Reform’s finances - I am both shocked and supremely unsurprised that they effectively commissioned their own polling. I always suspected Reform might be inflating their own popularity to justify dominating media and to gaslight the population.

Every aspect of this story stinks

We need to show rightwing newspapers that actions have consequences. Add your name: goodlawproject.org/s/abb8a1

The Des O'Connor Show (1st August 1970). One of those items where you imagine that the rehearsal time was fairly short.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

As we approach the summer break, here's an early sight of our courses for LLD's 10th year which will take off in September. Keep your eyes peeled for some summer postcards with information on specific courses when bookings start to open. Thank you all for your support over the last year

None of these tax dodging, foreign-based crypto billionaires and moneymen give a single shit about our country or democracy. They’re buying Farage power so he’ll remove our rights and protections to maximise their profits. It really is that simple and that corrupt. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I am totally grateful to finish the season safe, but 17th for two seasons in a row is not good enough. I thought we were gone after Sunderland. Now the club needs to reset and invest in the team. #COYS

Quite pleased with my home made Korean chicken

In Wigan, Reform won 96% of seats on 46% of the votes. In Westminster, the Conservatives won a majority on 35%, while @greenparty.org.uk won 18% of the votes without gaining a single seat. We can’t let this happen in 2029 The time to change the voting system is *now* @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

Not that further proof was needed, this alone is enough to cancel the official Royal visit. I'm no royalist but putting the King in the impossible position of representing the UK to this monster will go down in history as utterly shameful.

All the emails going in to #COYS, reminds me of my grandfather who in the 1960's wrote to the Chairman of West Ham expressing his displeasure at the results of then manager, Ron Greenwood. His ST had probably gone up by a £1! He got a polite, handwritten reply from the Chairman, but nothing changed!

We've got 5 courses coming up. All bookings on Eventbrite - only a few tickets left. #History #Film #French_conversation #ItalianHistory #FrenchHistory www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/lifelong-l...

Clean information and clean elections are as important as clean water. But are the regulators up to the job? The way GB News has quietly been allowed to become Reform TV should alarm us all app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

That move in the 1st half between Gray, Simons and Tel was the best football we've seen all season. It deserved a goal. #COYS

I'm very sad to hear about the outbreak of #meningitis in Kent. It's a sad irony that it happens today, my birthday, when it is just over 30 years ago that I survived this illness on what should have been my wedding day

Best performance for a long time #coys Btw should have been a penalty. Way more contact than VDV last week

I don't usually overreact, but on this occasion I don't see how Tudor can be in charge tomorrow, let alone Sunday. Also I don't think Lange should be there either. I hope we play well in the second half but enough. #COYS

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

Farage caught in another lie. A big one, despite being years ago, because it demolishes his "Origin Story" as a plucky anti-establishment figure. He's none of those things truly or by choice. That's why he delights at the reversal of Tories being under his control now. youtube.com/shorts/laVQX...

Donald Trump v the BBC: it should be easy to know side you’re on. We should rally to the cause of public service broadcasting before it’s too late app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72423/...

Radcliffe should remember we immigrants and children of immigrants are here because of British colonisation and make a huge contribution. He moved to Monaco to avoid £4bn tax. His club Man U owes everything to migrant players and migrant supporters. He’s an embarrassment to the club and game.

Just beyond parody at this point

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

McSweeney is gone. Time for Starmer to try to salvage his government by launching long overdue proper action to address all the flaws in our political system - peerages, patronage, cronyism, party finances, MPs revolving door, appointments, ministerial code, business interests, Leveson, etc etc.

The mid term elections

Why are the names of those who sent these emails to Epstein redacted?

Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide. Farage is in trouble.

Andrea Jenkyns can't answer why she supports a convicted sexual offender, so she doesn't bother trying. Reform doesn't care about sexual predators and perverts as long as they have money, they make a fortune out of Musks platform.

This team is better attacking than being defensive. I don't want my #COYS to change

Amazing achievement for these women and special congratulations to my friend Nicky (the one in the middle). #rowtheatlantic

Two pea brains from the same pod #Minneapolis

This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life. Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.

We finally have a shot at criminalising lying in politics… And you can help. I spoke at an event this week where the room voted almost unanimously that MPs & Lords must be covered by the new offence of Misleading the Public Imagine if this went though And this is where we need your help…
