I absolutely fucking hate immigration controls because what do you mean I had to tell a client that government want to break up her family because she has the temerity to be working class and not have 40 grand in the bank.

I call this out when other parties do it and I'm going to call it out when mine does. Dishonesty fundamentally undermines democracy.

"Did you know there's a man inside the Binface costume?!!" is the silliest establishment crash-out since "Hannah Spencer said we shouldn't be drunk at work"

I watched Disclosure Day and it was bad, and then I watched Scotland v Morocco and it was also bad

Thoughts from my Citizens Advice Bureau shift this morning: I hate immigration controls for making people so vulnerable. It's so easy to threaten someone with getting them deported if they don't do what you want.

For the avoidance of doubt, following the publication of the explicitly transphobic Scottish Labour manifesto this morning, I will not be campaigning for any Scottish Labour candidates in the upcoming election, and I will not be voting Scottish Labour either. #NoVotesLabourInMay #TransRightsNow

A week to go to the critical Gorton & Denton by-election which is a three-way contest between Greens, Reform & Labour. For the third week in a row the #BBC programme #bbcqt has a Reform UK representative. And over the same period a solitary Green. Not exactly public service broadcasting.

That time my Dad met Andrew Mountbatten 👀

A major drag on our politics is that people who aren't in poverty comfort themselves by simply refusing to believe poverty exists.

Shame on SNL for cutting this, the cowards. youtu.be/uA8Oury0a80?...

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

This is what you sound like when you say we have to have draconian border policing otherwise "everyone would come here"

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

greetings from hell

Donald Trump's colonisation of Venezuela is so nakedly evil I don't really know how to react.

If you have ever claimed to be concerned about "Muslim grooming gangs" and don't want Shamima Begum rescued and brought home after being trafficked by one of the biggest grooming gangs in the world, you are completely full of shit.

I think I've run out of my meds or possibly I just lost them but last night I dreamt that a lizard regurgitated a centipede and I feel the need to report this omen to Caesar's soothsayers immediately

The party when it finally happens is going to make Thatcher's death look like World Seagrass Day. Rob Reiner was a genius and, moreover, a thoroughly good man. (No offence intended to seagrass.)

Sharpies and black mould or, as it's known on the street, a Hogwarts Speedball

They're openly telling us in advance what's going to happen

You heard it here: if you're not a "high earner" you're not contributing to society. These people really do hate the working class to their very bones.

H.P. Lovecraft would be a good name for a manufacturer of tentacle-themed sex toys.

Kaisa is a gift

I bet she doesn't

Ugh having no money is insanely stressful isn't it?

Hedgehogs are more closely related to whales than they are to rodents. Is a thing I just learned by looking at phylogeny diagrams at 2am.

I can excuse supplying weapons to a genocide but I draw the line at a trans person using the bathroom in peace. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.

"I have done research on the party and Nigel Farage. Everything he says he will do – he does." But Audrey... he literally hasn't done anything. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In an extremely crowded field, scrapping deminimis allowances might be the single most moronic thing I've seen Trump do in trade policy.

To be clear what happened here. Israel bombed a hospital. They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive. Then they bombed it again. This is known as the 'double tap'. You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.

The hilarious thing about Dean Cain being the face of ICE is him being lauded by the very same right-wing TV grifters that would be having a full screaming tantrum if they cast a half-Japanese Superman today.

Cambridge lexicographers absolutely throwing in the towel when asked to define skibidi: "a word that can have different meanings or no meaning"

Why are bobbit worms so long? Absolutely no need.

It's 50-50 Donnie ends up selling Alaska back to the Russians, right?

Women *aren't* "born with egg-producing equipment." They're born with all the eggs they'll ever have. Another smash hit of a tweet from Joanne the science understander.

Superman (2025)

This weekend thousands of people in the UK stood up against racists and far-right thugs only to have representatives of a nominally leftwing government support, enable and empower the racists. Why do you not hear the worries of those trying to protect minority rights and liberal democracy?

I know it's far from the worst thing about this but Starmer meeting Trump *at Turnberry* is humiliating. "Oh no Mr Donald sir you mustn't trouble yourself to travel to No 10 or Chequers or even Holyrood, I wouldn't want to interrupt your golfing, I'll come to you."

Ah, I just learned Tom Lehrer died on Saturday, aged 97. What a genius he was. youtu.be/TjDEsGZLbio?...
