Surreal scenes from Tbilisi as a young brave woman breaks through riot police barrier screaming: “Is it me you are afraid of?!” The Georgian women define bravery. Video via Radio Tavisupleba

So perfect.

Massive away win for the little fella.

It's at this time of year, when the Christmas songs come on the radio, that I like to remember one of the Pogues finest works.

- a quarter of all England’s farmland belongs to just 2,500 owners - 20 dukes own a million acres of Britain "most of this country is owned by people like the Duke of Westminster, who has 129,000 acres and a £10billion fortune", says @guyshrubsole.bsky.social www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Well. Times change, don't they? Just seen this ad for Scrooged with the cigar digitally removed so Bill Murray now looks unexpectedly camp.

I've never been accused of inappropriate behaviour at work so I'm not expert, but why does Gregg Wallace think that 'a handful' of complaints is irrelevant? And to the people who say the women involved should've raised it sooner, they did. They were ignored.

"Middle-class women of a certain age to the south-west, Sir. A handful of 'em."

Gregg Wallace has defended himself by saying all his accusers are 'women of a certain age'. Yes younger than you Greg, many young enough to be your daughters. We know how dirty old men operate.

KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan? SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

Love that ‘Lucky’ is in inverted commas. 🔥

How Twitter feels right now #Xodus

👀Is Rishi Sunak trying to avoid public scrutiny? He just switched his new company “The office of Akshata Murty and Rishi Sunak” from a limited company to an “unlimited” company. This means he no longer has to make his company accounts public 👀⤵️

This from the co-owners of GB News says what many have suspected ....GB News is a political project To be an Ofcom regulated broadcaster the station is specifically not allowed to be politically biased. It can have shows which lean one way or another, but the balance must exist across a schedule.

East London calling. There are 50 free places for care leavers aged 18-25 yrs for Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day in Hackney. It is totally free. To make a referal please write to Kausar at this address [email protected] Via Lemn Sissay

Where were the dozens of leading articles on Grant Shapps, who used fake names in what some have described as a “get rich quick” scheme? And continued this work when he was an MP? Shapps held 9 ministerial positions for the Tories over 14 years.

Wow. According to this image it looks like nurses - whose real-terms pay has declined by at least 20% since 2010 are responsible for driving up UK borrowing. Thanks for clearing that up BBCNews

Good morning Friday thought of the day is: Just cook properly and then Gordon Ramsey won't scream at you and try to strangle you. -bz

Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend. He had told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006. Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given because of "the serious nature of the offence”. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

I really do not understand economics 🤷‍♂️

The Arts & Humanities are such a useless, impractical waste of time that dictators and tyrants across the span of history have suppressed the study and practice of these fields.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Here’s a thought. Don’t take/share photos of people attending a funeral, mourning someone they love, even if they’re famous, FFS. You can still report it’s happened. Show some respect.

Good, thoughtful response from the Landworkers Alliance (which, unlike the NFU, actually speaks for farm labourers, tenant farmers, small-scale farmers) to the Labour budget; ELMS; APR. landworkersalliance.org.uk/reflections-...

My admiration for this woman knows no bounds

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

Fixed that New Republic headline 😄

Trump is taking the idea that an infinite number of monkeys will one day write Shakespeare and applying it to government.
