Zelensky is proof that comedians don't need permission from the traditional gatekeepers anymore, to build a fanbase and a television career. Have faith in your product, and know how to work social media. It's far more valuable than a Fringe run.

Weasel words obviously, but really quite important. Friday really starting to feel like a breaking point.

Anthropomorphisation of the colour beige is the best description of Starmer but at least he’s not orange

(on a personal note it's quite striking how quickly I've gone from "generally a bit of a pinko on defence issues" to "and could I just do a monthly direct debit to BAE Systems, would that help")

I remember when the war started people were shocked that Zelensky, once a crossdressing comedian, would stand up to Putin, a muscle-bound big game hunter, but it will always take more strength to defy masculinity than abide by it

This, read this, it’s not often a Substack reduces me to tears, but this has but they’re determined tears, Europe can and must do this, America has fallen.

How lucky it was for the world that America then had a president who understood the powerful symbolism of a democratic statesman living in a war zone dressing in a way appropriate to an existential struggle for freedom on the frontier of western civilisation. Now, not so much.

Great to see a new rainbow plaque in Warwick Avenue this LGBT History Month, honouring journalist, actor and lesbian rights activist Jackie Forster. The project celebrates the vital contributions of LGBTQIA+ communities, past and present, to our city.

Starting to think everyone's problem these days is they weren't born in the 1980s and therefore weren't raised with 90s movies

Utter gobbledygook, drafted by Tufton St, and the media is treating it like the sermon on the mount. We must be strong, by abandoning our allies, we must secure supply chains, while doing Brexit, we must protect a rules based global order, while attacking the ECHR. Wut? 😱

I’ve been hacked over in the other place, which in one way is rather a blessing. The process of trying to sort it out is, however, exasperating. This tweet (which a friend screenshot and sent) did make me laugh though, so that’s something!
