The United Nations (UN) has urged Keir Starmer to scrap the controversial two-child limit and reverse the five-week wait for universal credit in a warning that the UK government is infringing human rights with the ongoing poverty crisis @bigissue.com www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Your #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds crew. (1/3)

There is NO LGB without the T.

I'll give you an idea where we're at. I get hate pretty much all the time for not calling for Kurtzman's job, I'm used to it at this stage. But what I won't and will never tolerate are the death threats against him I've had to delete from the comments. I don't know Alex Kurtzman but 1/4

Resist. Support each other. Stay strong and ask for help when you can. It's bad. But you're not alone. #IDIC

When asked, at 7am on a Sunday, if I’m horny. My response:- My dick is like “hell yes!” The rest of me “we’re still walking up!!”

Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies..I guess no one saw that coming www.politico.eu/article/zuck...

My son, Alec Egan, has lost everything in this inferno. His house, his studio, & all of his art are gone. When he saw what was left of years of work (& love, & the birth of two children), he said "it is impossible to grasp that all of that life has been reduced to nothing more than a heap of ash." 🧵

More amazing news this morning. Congratulations to Sam Dabb and everyone at Le Pub The Welsh music venue will now be placed into permanent protected status after its acquisition by Music Venue Properties

This whole Greenland thing is such a mystery isn’t it? What could have possibly prompted it? Oh wait…

I used to find Twitter very useful until you know who turned it into something else. He appears to be trying to do it to our country and our politics now - we should all make it clear how we feel about that. If he comes over here perhaps he could be arrested for criminal libel?

Shocked to hear of The Vivienne's passing. A phenomenal talent. I took this photo of her performing at the Eurovision celebrations in Liverpool in May 2023. She seemed so proud to be part of a celebration of her beloved city. I hope the city returns the favour and honours her somehow.

Again- Musk’s X posts are so deranged that everyone should be writing to their MPs …expressing concern that Musk is engaged in a disinformation campaign against the UK government - attempting to foment civil unrest in the UK and endanger the safety of politicians.

When asked by SFX magazine if would she would return to Doctor Who either on TV or audio, Jo Martin grinned and said: “I would do both for the rest of my life. When they call, trust me, I’ll be there.”

Last few photos, of me taken in 2024. Crikey, quarter of a century, in a new millennium.

Bloody hell, #DoctorWho That Partygate bit - in the middle of Christmas - was really quite something. Funny, sad, sentimental - oh, so sentimental - and blazingly angry. Almost too much to take in. Can we have Anita back, please?

Can’t believe it’s taken 61 years for them to make this joke

“One by one, the judge found them all guilty of either rape or sexual assault. “Gisele Pelicot was looking at each man as the sentence was handed down"

Just finished, the 2nd rewatch, of the Season 5 finale #StarTrekLowerDecks What a way, to finish a fantastic season. It’s more see you later, than a final goodbye.

Here, we take a moment to honour those we've lost this year. Please take a few minutes to read about some of these incredible artists who have passed away in 2024. 21 Star Trek Actors Who Died In 2024 #StarTrek #InMemoriam @trekculture.bsky.social whatculture.com/tv/21-star-t...

The story behind this picture. This guy got bitten by a Rattlesnake it cost him £153k to save his life. They charged him $83,341.25 for antivenom that cost them $2,500. That is private healthcare and there was nothing he could do except pay.

The new Syrian leader Al-Joulani has just said "We are not going to engage in a conflict with Israel" That means that there is absolutely no reason for Israeli troops to be on Syrian territory.

I have to say that keeping the UK out of the Single Market when 82% of voters want it, and the £42bn a year in extra Public Spending it would enable, and reduction in cost of everything which is the only way you can win the next election. Would be the stupidest political decision ever.

If you haven’t finished the first two seasons of #StarTrekProdigy yet, now would be a great time to do it before the year’s end.🖖 Viewers watching to completion is a big deal for us… and just in time for the holidays! #StarTrek

“wealthy billionaires and corporations… hoard land as an asset, Britain now having among the highest concentrations of land ownership in the world. Half of England is owned by less than 1% of its population.”

For at least 500 years most 'farmers' actually billionaire landowners have paid zero inheritance tax. They should have paid 40% on each generation, and it has been about 22 generations. So that means now they should face a 99.98% inheritance tax. Let it be so.
