"It seems a matter of time before other less besieged western legal systems hear petitions by US citizens for asylum." My column on an Oval Office meeting that was every bit as chilling as the assault on Zelenskyy in late February. www.ft.com/content/4c4b...

Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔 Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked… 🧵1/22 (1/1)

Very tasty pie for lunch today at Pie and Vinyl in Southsea. Also picked up a deck of Goat tarot cards

11 years since I ran my first marathon in Brighton and got a high five from Zoe Ball. Good luck to everyone running today.

Tell your mates about #BrokenVeil. My instagram ads manager thingy has decided to block my account... Fun. So I'm having a bit of trouble getting the promo videos out past Meta's relentless content clamps. We're down to word-of-mouth for a bit while we get the last two eps out... SPREAD THE WORD.

Mothering Sunday next week. I'll be reading out the names of our #RememberedMums in church on the morning of Sunday March 30th. If you'd like to add your late mother's name, let me know. It can be oddly comforting to know her name will be typed out and said aloud once again. Reposts welcome. ❤️ 👑

This story is incredible. And incredibly scary in its implications. Here’s a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Decided after neglecting it for a year I really should work on getting my In A Glass House cross stitch project finished.

Knightmare Live was really good last night.

Feels like a northern soul type of evening

A fake tweet by Donald Trump, in which he allegedly says a president should be immediately impeached if the Dow drops 1,000 points, is going viral in the context of Trump's tariffs and US stock markets plunging. Trump never posted this. It's fake.

Times Square 🇺🇸🇺🇦✊

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Zelensky will arrive in London on Sunday for further talks with European leaders, where he will give them a completely unfiltered account of his talks with Trump, — The Guardian

🔴EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s War on 'Woke’ and DEI: Incubated by a Nazi Eugenics Foundation Mainstream American conservative icons WHO inspired Trump’s assault on diversity were bankrolled by the funder of a Nazi eugenics foundation, reports @nafeez.bsky.social d bylinetimes.com/2025/02/27/t...

Can’t say I’m loving Dope Girls, but I do love the soundtrack by NYX

Elon is real sh@# smear of a human. He has 200m followers, 8m saw the post, 96k agree with him. That's 1.2%. It gives me hope that people are turning away from the propaganda he's been spreading. Defunding Elon would also send a message. #teslatakedown actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

A former senior KGB spy chief says Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman

If you’d asked AI to write a piece of Russian propaganda in the style of Donald Trump, this is what you’d get. Well done America, you’ve elected a Russian asset as your President.

Morning wander along the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal to see the Looping boat.

Can’t wait to go to End of The Road again.

I asked DeepSeek three questions: - How does China treat the Uyghur Muslims? - Is Taiwan part of China? - What happened in Tiananmen Square in the 1980s? Here are DeepSeek's answers:

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole lamppost

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

Fantastic evening seeing Matt Berry in conversation with Eddie Piller at Rough Trade Bristol
