Fantastic gig from @stevehacketthq.bsky.social at the Albert Hall tonight. The man with the golden guitar.

Pestilence: there can only be four horsemen of the apocalypse Famine: so, one of us needs to go War: well, I know who I’d choose Gary: you thinking Death too?

This is just strange behavior, even from a dementia patient. Trump stops and waves. The camera zooms out to reveal that there’s nobody in the direction he’s waving. Apparently, he’s waving to the ghost of Lindsey Graham.

Kudos to the camera man. He decided NOPE - ain’t letting him pull this shit. Not today. Not on my watch.

@rogerquimbly.bsky.social Specialising now in press secretaries?

Since September, Nigel Farage has been presenting a show on GB News while sitting as an MP. Sign our petition to demand that Ofcom takes action: https://bestforbritain.org/petition/farage-on-gb-news-demand-that-ofcom-takes-immediate-action/

Alright, Wordle, calm down - I'm trying my best!

Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Strange how all of these Reform characters keep turning out to be racists. Of course, it’s too early to say if there’s a pattern developing. Just bad luck I suppose.

Imagine working for Starlink in TX, CA & WA, going home to your own family at night knowing the product Musk sold to Ukraine for battlefield Wifi use is now being turned off so Putin can murder children in Kyiv. There must be some kinda ‘paper trail’ in your offices. Leak it now.

What an unfortunate headline. He was both of those things... to the tiger

More than 9,600 have already taken action and called on Ofcom to investigate Nigel Farage's GB News show. A party leader and sitting MP should not be allowed to host their own news show. Help us reach 10,000 signatures. ⬇️

Thoughts?😊

The editors of The Express are utterly reprehensible. Andy Burnham teared up when having the courage to pay tribute to his dad, just two weeks after he died, in front of thousands of people. And they use it to attack him. They are devoid of basic decency and humanity. Poisonous for our discourse.

Just seen Danny Tommo referred to as "Captain Thugwash" and seriously, that's excellent work.

His action in slashing the boat must be a crime, surely? He went out with a weapon intending to do criminal damage, no?

Jon Anderson and band last night. Some old school Yes combined with new material. What an amazing (unique) voice, 81 years old and sounded effortless.

For my friends and contacts in the UK - a crucially important question: How worried are you about big money in British politics? See below for the survey.

Good plan, Australia and Canada. Huge sigh, UK. How long do we wait, how much do we lose, how stupid do we have to be?

Quite right, so should we all.

No, we're not wondering, the Liberal Democrats have been screaming about this for years, and you ignored us. Don't pretend this is new information to anyone, you clowns.

Sleep well, Gracie, and thank you for being our bestest dog. ❤️

Yet another begging bowl email from the Labour Party this morning. ‘There is no pretending about the scale of what we’re up against.’ If only you guys had a massive majority in Parliament and could pass legislation to protect our democracy from ‘what we’re up against’.

You heard it from them first

Today’s poem is called ‘Busman’s Holiday’.

Parts of this really should not be difficult. You *can* have legitimate concerns about a lot of things, and protest about them peacefully. What you *cannot* do is mask up, join up with 300 others, and block roads, burn houses, and threaten people.

Easy to follow guide from the British press

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
