At its very core, democracy requires a basis of truth and facts, it’s a basic tenet. If people can’t make informed decisions, trust and democracy dies. The right relies disproportionately on misinformation, it’s not a trend that exists on all sides of the political spectrum. They win via deception.

Morning! Can someone explain why anyone listens to Reform? They lied about Brexit (spoiler: it’s a disaster). Now they’re lying about climate change (apparently, it doesn’t exist). And yet… millions still vote for them 🗳️. What’s in the water? #MorningMadness

Useful new acronym, courtesy of Geoffrey Matthews, the superb chief exec of the Chelsea Arts Club: After a dinner party, a woman married to a master of the universe said, ‘It wasn’t that fun: I sat next to a Fig jam man.’ It stands for ‘F8ck I’m great – just ask me’. We all know the type.

If everyone nice comes over here then eventually all the pricks will follow (cos they need us more than we need them). Then once they’re all over here, let’s go back to Twitter.

The Times journalist who fought to get the story about the Reform MP who kicked his girlfriend multiple times @georgegreenwood.bsky.social tells how hard the newspaper had to right to get the information released. So who has been protecting the Reform MP?

When I was really poor, I got so fed up having only T shirts and old sweat pants to wear that I tried to make a suit out of curtains. Now I can afford to wear anything I want. I could have suits made for me. But I decided I prefer T shirts and old sweat pants.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

This gave me goosebumps. “My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night. A man came up to her and started talking to her. A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.” How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!” We need each other.

26 years ago, I was made redundant and given a few grand. I decided that if I was careful, I could live off the money for 6 months trying to become a comedian before I had to get another job. I was 37. Worth a punt.
