Amazing atmosphere and presence at London rally for Ukraine in Trafalgar Square this evening. I was proud to speak earlier in Parliament to offer staunch Lib Dem support for UK leadership in opposing Putin. Three years after the illegal full-scale assault by Russia, the UK stands with Ukraine.

One of the gems from the mid era Internet. Truly glorious. #NextTimeOnLonny youtu.be/Bq61YU3cZeY?... #SureThingDogMoon #OhhNo #YouLookReallyPrettyYouKnowThat

Brilliant pod, it doesn't avoid how serious the situation is. We are at war with Russia, in every important way, even if its not been announced. Truly terrifying. Normal America is gone. We're on our own now.

Erm..Buttler, maxwell, in the powerplay, me just watching. #championstrophy #theoffice

Ohh Salt Not sure we'll see him in ODIs after this tournament. #ENGvAUS #championstrophy #cricket

I loooove that you're playing with the questions and ideas the premise presents @benstiller.redhour.com This latest episode was so complicated emotionally and brilliant. #severance

Interesting developments. Personally, I'm glad sussex aren't interested.

Every cricket fan should be grateful that @georgedobell.bsky.social is sticking with the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRe5... He holds the powerful to account like few others. #AskGeorge I still really enjoy the 50 over comp is that still the long term plan for non hundred cricketers in August?

Every day is another day where one thinks it can't get worse but it does. And yet we must take the rage and despair and use it to power the fight for freedom. youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?... #Chumbawamba had it I fancy this getting to number 1. music.apple.com/gb/album/naz...

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

I like this bar chart.

@mikeduncan.bsky.social as I was listening to the latest ep... there was something about this Timothy Warner chap... he seemed familiar somehow.... can't quite put my finger on it.... #MartianRevolution

youtu.be/UV-RZYz8xTc?... This #LonelyIsland medly... wow, it has everything, it's a laser (cat) bolt into my soul. Perfection.

@lucyfisher.ft.com Laura @robertshrimsley.bsky.social and @stephenkb.bsky.social absolutely excellent on the right to die bill pca.st/episode/db93... Why should someone else's beliefs decide the circumstances of my death.

That was stunning from Mitoma.

This is excellent news. Henry is just getting better and better, I really think he could tear up div 1 this year as part of a formidable bowling attack at Sussex #cricket

Really like Asitha Fernando, quality bowler. #SRIvAUS #cricket

Just finished Paul's excellent book on this, would heartily recommend #PlayingToFix Really added to my understanding of cricket in that part of the world as well as the murkier side of #cricket. Also a shout out to the ever brilliant @pitchpublishing.bsky.social one of Sussex's best companies.

@timminchin.bsky.social Coming back for a UK tour is an unexpected joy in this otherwise cursed timeline. Cannot fuckin wait. #RockNRollNerd #TimGrewOnMeLikeA...

The twist in the episode, absolutely fucking loved it, earth shattering.

Really disappointed by Labour on this, I know they can't be progressive all the time, but fuck me, this is just actively dragging us backwards.

0.43% increase in UK GDP by 2050 if a third runway is opened at Heathrow. 12% fall in world GDP for every 1C rise in global temperature.

Absolutely looved this episode. So spot on. The Daniel BD bit especially. I just want to scream when it comes to Daniel, the man is quality and when you compare his treatment by ECB compared to Crawley I just lose my shit. Sack off England Daniel, become an international cricketer in Maroon!

Urggh God what utter bellends.
