Watching lots of football this week. Should be there a time-clock on corners/free kicks, it’s starting to feel like the NFL?

If Musk is turning into the archetypal Bond villain, and the UK is his new target, who will be our ‘Bond’?

In 2025 I’m going to post a bit more. Just thoughts. Day 1. People are talking up Reform’s chances WAY too much. And doing it will create reactions - from parties, and voter expectations. It’s a gift to Reform, but it’s misguided. Just think, for a minute, the hurdles they need to overcome!

From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. Do please repost this message so that more people can find me!

I bet the BBC are fuming with Gregg Wallace after his “13 middle class women of a certain age” comment. After nearly 20 years as supportive employer he pays them back by attacking a core audience demographic. Now, that they won’t forgive him for!

I dunno, I’m quite happy with migration. It provides needed workers and cultural richness. Data support that migrants make a net financial contribution to their host country - and on top of that there’s all the other stuff they contribute. Maybe I’m a demographic of one. apple.news/Ayzd8E1OvSWK...

I’m not against a review of Physicians Associates but? just to say, they have been in the UK since 2003 and must be wondering what they’ve done wrong all of a sudden. It’s fine to debate regulation (which PAs want) or scope of work, but let’s not rush to the ‘they’re all rubbish and unsafe’ trope

This ~ 💯%

Reminder that your favorite local indie bookstores make a lot of their yearly income during the holiday season. Go shop local today. ❤️

Gregg Wallace will step away from presenting MasterChef while complaints made to the BBC from individuals about historical allegations of misconduct are investigated, the show's production company Banijay UK said.

I found this utterly fascinating: ppl are more prepared to cut a politician from "their side" slack - even when they know it's a fictitious politician. Bias is conscious. Bit bracing for those delusions we're fair minded

📢 We're calling for new investment in Earlier Action and Support to enable more people to live their life their way, alongside the Time to Act Reform Board and the Local Government Association. bit.ly/3Zrl2MU #FutureOfASC @clentonf.bsky.social

Does every press office have a playbook - when employee/celebrity/chairman is accused of anything always say: “While the allegations are historical”
