you have been kidnapped, and a character from the last TV show you watched is trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Old Soviet joke: A man goes to the newspaper stand every day, unfolds one, scans the front page, doesn't buy it, and leaves. Vendor: Why do you do this every day? Man: I’m looking for an obituary. Vendor: Obituaries aren’t on the front page. Man: The one I’m waiting for will be.

Hopefully the Tates will get locked up in Romania and then get locked up again in the UK when they get out. Maybe then all the young men who see them as role models will finally realise that being being a sexual predator isn't cool. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...

When the history of today's Israel is written, it will be Netanyahu who'll be on the wrong side of history and humanity.

Israel is starving and slaughtering women and children and somehow Gary Lineker is the story. This is how genocide happens.

Went to see The Waterboys on Saturday - they were absolutely brilliant. Barney Fletcher has joined the band for a lot of their new songs from the Life Death and Dennis Hopper album. At the end they played Barney's song Wasted Sunset - phenomenal www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5an...

Imitating Trump, Farage has committed to getting rid of equalities and inclusion jobs at the councils that Reform has taken over. This is going to have huge implications for disabled people and for children with special educational needs - the lawyers are going to be very busy.

🇺🇸 Non-MAGA Americans - listen up! At the Bylines Network (UK), we've a new project to amplify non-MAGA American voices at a time when US media are not adequately capturing the chaos, fear & disruption in people's lives. But we're collecting the stories. This is citizen journalism. Take a look. 👇

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’ Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac. This is why Dems lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

As stupid ideas go this is right up there with inviting Trump to do a second state visit. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis

To be fair, a 15 minute conversation with JD Vance is probably enough to make any decent person lose the will to live. #PopeFrancis

If the UK becomes the first country to reach a trade deal with the Trump-Vance government, it will be a marker of shame rather than an achievement.

The NASDAQ and the DOW are up whilst everything else is down - the rest of the world needs to grow a pair otherwise Trump is going to get away with shafting all of us. #SOB

The day before Donald Trump back-tracks on tariffs, the people who are close to him are going to start buying shares. They'll make billions. This could be the greatest scam in history.

Probably the kind of fear that Hitler's generals felt when they invaded Russia in 1941. Interesting parallels with Nazi propaganda in the calls to be strong, patient and courageous, as well as an inference that people should trust the judgement of the Leader. This won't end well.

Mark Carney is sensible and measured like Keir Starmer but with much bigger balls.

A global leader for a global crisis - let's hope that the Canadian people recognise this when they vote.
