The Chancellor to cut tariffs on some imported food? That. Is. A. Disgrace. Another kick in the teeth for hard-line Brexiteers who've been subsisting on grass and the occasional parsnip since 2016...

Laila Rouass caught speeding four times in ten months, six month driving ban. Married to Ronnie o’Sullivan, presumably she was racing to get to 147 points. Twice she couldn’t be arsed turning up at court, happier to sun herself in Dubai. Sub-human scum like this continue to treat us with contempt

York Rd B14 on the day Oxford St is pedestrianised. Drivers are unstoppable in this crazy city…

Serbia and Brazil... wow - maybe the surge of the Right isn't so inevitable after all. Hope lives on!

brave choice of #hmhb track by Cerys there... bat-themed show

Florence fans arriving at the Mercurys

"the lovers, the dreamers and me... lardi de dah, de de de"

I’ve moaned about noise on public transport every week for at least a decade… I know the arguments… but if you’re having a dig at the PM today, you’re being a bit of a nob and sound a bit Reformy. think about it

fuck me, contrast Donna Summer’s quality of work for a decade… with a possibly decent song drowned in the SAW shit

is Monday going to be Black Monday? hundredth time I've asked in the last decade tbf

so he thinks he’s fit to be a councillor, just not fit to stand under the esteemed Reform banner? I know that many voters support and demand those racist views, but he thinks this will wash..?!

“I don’t believe it”

ice cream chimes going strong round here this morning; considering it’s grey, threatening and 07:20

quite excited for Oxfam to open… looks like someone has donated some punk / new wave LPs (hopefully)

Product idea: caps lock key with Brian Blessed’s face on it

Labour’s worst showing in that seat for more than two decades… Polanski fails so really must go - once again the real winners were the tories on 7% and Reform with 6% of the vote - roll on the inevitable Farage-Badenoch Premiership

Saw Rees-Mogg when Truss was PM and he was getting pelters, running the gauntlet in Birmingham. Just seen him again, and it was glorious. No-one giving him a second glance… irrelevant, powerless and just an embarrassment

was thinking earlier that mebbz A House need to rewrite Endless Art with still-alive-artists

Jeffrey Archer… actually dead or just more lies to enrich himself? does he have a new book out? #oxford

loving all the hot takes about Birmingham from political journos - keep telling me more about the ways £800m funding cuts since 2010 have made Birmingham not as good as London or Manchester

ah, fifteen years… probably about right. Hopefully that will be a deterrent to other potential killers

this guy took 17 years to get a #hmhb Footprints reference… took me those 17 plus another 16. my excuse is that I can’t stand The Doors and always switch them off #golfclubs

US ten-year borrowing was 4% earlier in the year, but has edged above 5.3% this morning… could really be some serious shit brewing

Ed Miliband getting a bit of heat on Twitter for •checks notes• expressing relief that all the plane passengers didn’t die…

not seen Burnham’s speech yet…. did he open with “myyyyyyyyy mother-in-law……” ?

Danny Tommo refused bail - trial 1st of March ! hurrah

RIP Mighty Sparrow

can never trust anyone who uses five syllables “one hundred per cent” when a simple “yes” is quicker and clearer, but now the fuckers have started writing it as “100pc” rather than “100%” . arseholes

King Kurt split #bananabanana

who shot what, who? a bazooka was who, and to my surprise it was the S1Ws - blackshorts in the hour of chaos at Basingstoke Jail

Such a sad decline from his Sherlock/Doctor Strange heyday www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

I realise it’s no laughing matter, but “vasco de gammon” is pretty good #vascodegammon

that does sound sub-optimal tbf, so I can understand him not being completely elated

next move for Paul Con Brio…? yep, that’s right - ENO ! ENO COLLABORATION..! #hmhb

bit of a head-scratcher this, but I’m fairly sure it’s “just tip the whole lot straight onto the table so it pours onto all diners’ laps”

I had too much to dream last night - thanks for that, smartwatch

so we learned from yesterday’s discourse… there are a lot of arsehole cyclists in London (but killing somebody is a million to one chance)… arsehole drivers are the problem for the rest of the country and people are dying every single day - what’s the next step then, guys?

“lack of feedback” - in-joke for puppets?

Sir, a second beat has been mmmmmmmdropped

imagine taking a camper up to John o Groats and beyond to visit the North Eastern tip of Scotland, then finding that an allocated parking space had been stolen by someone with #carbrain who didn’t want a door opened onto their new toy. car ownership offers the freedom to hate every other road user

BBC Scotland asking for listeners’ favourite opening lines… someone has suggested “she came from Greece, she had a zest for knowledge”

sheesh - Uncle Bill’s words even more relevant forty years on… “in last years trousers and your old school shoes”

Ashington? sure I remember that face from Stonebridge? #absolutely www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

any other weekend, this would have been the main news story and horrified a nation… “everyone hates cyclists, right?” so if you come across a group on a Saturday morning ride it’s fine to plough a car into them and kill a couple Two killed as car hits group of cyclists www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
