Yesterday was Lou Macari’s 76th birthday. With the rumours of Becks getting a knighthood I hope that Lou also finally gets the recognition he deserves. For nearly a decade he’s been providing emergency accommodation for the homeless & continues to do so.

The public certainly saw through you. They never chose you to be their Prime Minister, and at the first opportunity to vote on your catastrophic bin fire of a premiership they kicked you out of one of the safest Tory seats in Britain. Do stop continually embarrassing yourself. 🥬

A Certain Ratio released Won’t Stop Loving You 35 years ago today. Such a great song that should have been a huge hit. Here’s a live version I filmed in 2019. ❤️ Denise ❤️ @acertainratio.bsky.social youtu.be/RwZnddIyrrw

I don't watch much Glastonbury coverage, but I'm very glad that the BBC commits so hard to it - it's exactly the kind of public service broadcasting that you'd never get Netflix or Amazon or Disney to do unless they could charge you a fortune to watch it. But we get it as part of the licence fee 💪

Wine in Pubs is an Opportunity. Over the past year alone, I’ve been served red wine that had been stored next to warm lights, had small glasses filled nearly to the brim on multiple occasions and even came across a pub that didn’t have a wine list at all: winedrinker.co.uk/wine-in-pubs... #wine

Will @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social ask Farage his thoughts on tonight's events in Liverpool? Of course they won't. Had he been Asian or Albanian they would be breaking his door down. Thoughts now with all in Liverpool tonight.

I have today read 'James' by Percival Everett. An astonishing novel and one that should be, must be, essential and compulsory reading for every American. And beyond. Get yourself a copy.

#Starmer. An intelligent if not charismatic man. Clearly doing what he thinks to be the right thing. Trade deals with India, US and EU. Bravo. But the self inflicted wounds, WFA, Pips, immigration rhetoric, Gaza, almost terminal. And looking to put right after the horse has bolted, mind blowing.

The state of world leaders today!😔 Britain has a flip flop PM who hates our fish & pensioners. Russia is led by a nutcase. Ukraine has a president who won’t wear a suit. France chose a chap who married his dad. As for the USA they elected an orange man who can’t even open a box.😬

We’re living through Trump’s conversion of the presidency into a global business operation—one in which family enrichment drives national policy. Foreign influence. Secret deals. Cryptocurrency grifts. Worse than just corruption, this is a blueprint for authoritarian kleptocracy.

A thousand times this. From the very beginning we were force fed preposterous narratives of what Brexit ‘really meant’. A total travesty.

Seeing some people say that Crystal Palace "end their wait for a trophy". This misses the point. Waiting for a trophy suggests they've been expecting it for a long time. They haven't. That's what makes this great.

Imagine needing to have to organise and agree to travelling freely and being able to work in your friendly, neighbouring country. Remind me again why we thought this would be such a terrible thing. 🤷‍♂️
