If you need me you'll find me drinking Belgian beer, making jewellery or sewing. You can always tell in which order I've done these things by how straight my topstitching is.
Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect.

⚡️Trump claims Ukraine, Russia agreed to energy ceasefire — Kyiv has no information about it.
Ukraine has no information about an energy ceasefire that U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Oct. 11, a senior Ukrainian official told the Kyiv Independent.
Good lord that's 3 of the most glaikit gobshites I've ever seen in my life! That one shared brain cell is working as hard as it can and it's barely keeping the lights on. I can almost chew the stupid from halfway around the world.
The BBC has decided that this constitutes news… A man who left for Monaco several years ago declaring he’s ’lost confidence’ in the UK
His qualification for making the headlines? Owning £15bn
Broadcasting like democracy already died!

Anyone remember that time when two fighting aged men living at those barracks ran amok and assaulted a member of the public.... why didn't Piddington declare independence then I wonder?

Fuck off you cowardly, genocide-enabling, bap-faced little prick. Go and cry to your rapey Epstein-implicated, sex offending billionaire mate and stop trying to backtrack now you realise that the entire world suddenly sees who you really are.
So the GOP is celebrating a guy who created a darknet marketplace for heroin and meth, and put out multiple muder-for-hire contacts to conceal his crimes.
HOPE not hate can conclusively prove that Stephen Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson’s business empire has been built on fraudulent means, tax evasion, and perjury.
This is a long one. Strap in.🧵

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns."
The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.
In response to Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts, the Public Safety Act 1936 made it an offence under to march in uniform. The Crime and Policing Bill 2026 gave the police the power to order the removal of face coverings at a protest. We cannot stand by and allow the normalisation of fascist intimidation.
UK man starts potential right wing terrorist group, amplified by Russian / Israeli networks, Home Office asleep at the wheel.
In follow up posts the agitator states “we are not voting our way out of this” implying violent uprising.
If only there was some famous tale about the futility of being a Cnut who stands on the shore and shouts orders at the sea.

Stop whatever you’re doing & watch this now! Reform’s magic money tree has been bust wide open. Huge kudos to undercover reporters Verbatim via @channel4news.bsky.socialyoutu.be/aXut3s90rUI?... huge
And the biggest howler: Reform’s geniuses in Kent were apparently able to repaint a fence, trim the verge, plant grass seed (and get it to grow instantly), redo the pavement and repave the road all so quickly that the car in the top-right corner didn’t move an inch! Amazing!
It is always the same betrayal: the public interest is sacrificed for the sake of immensely wealthy people. And Andy Burnham has already gone and done it.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com
Can't get enough of the Natalie Harp stuff. The 1:1 parallels with the girl from Obsession. Everyone in rightwing media pretending she's 16 years old so they can be mad, their favorite mood. The phrase "over-the-diaper handy" entering the lexicon. Keep it up everybody.
It would be a terrible shame if this resource was lost for want of an archive - this stuff is still of major interest to policymakers today and is a crucial part of the social history that made the Britain of today (HT @municipaldreams.bsky.social )
About a month until 8,000 volumes on British postwar planning and housing history gets pulped. Unless we can find someone to save it municipaldreams.substack.com/p/a-good-hom...
WARNING⚠️Burnham is an active participant in this model. He built the Manchester free zone. He's now implementing it nationally, with a business adviser who holds AI company shares, an AI minister who deleted his corporate CV, and a chief of staff who told corporate clients to expect deregulation.
French firefighters facing a pyrocumulonimbus cloud highlights a terrifying feedback loop: megafires creating their own weather, complete with dry lightning and violent winds. When fires generate storms that spark more fires, we are in uncharted territory. 🌩️🔥 #ClimateCrisis
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Did you know a barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced in court now. Add your name to help protect Britain's juries: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...
Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link:

I see Ann Widdecombe has died.
When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison.
There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed.
That’s the kind of woman she was.
