It's always a pleasure to welcome @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social to the Edinburgh Fringe. She's been a guest every year I've done it. She's almost an institution now! Mon 10 August, 12 noon, EICC Tickets www.pleasance.co.uk/search?query...
Look, on the one hand they allow perverts to covertly film your children and upload the footage to pedophelia forums. On the other hand, they can save someone half a second by projecting in front of them information they'd otherwise have to glance at their phone to get. What's a regulator to do?!
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2w agoMeta’s smartglasses mean any child can be covertly filmed. In the age of AI, how do we tackle that risk?
Telly has broken so will be watching the change of power on my phone. The glamour.
Scrap the Romesh thing just clip Wayne Rooney saying he thought the half time show was crap and the licence fee QR code
Shakira is 50! My sons are getting me back by roasting me for being 6 years younger than her. I deserve it for everyday saying "you are the same age as Jude Bellingham, why haven't you bought me a house"
Didn't watch the match but woke up to hilarious family whatsapp chat between my brothers, sons and my Anglo-french nephews. Just seems joyful, and in my completely uneducated opinion the kind of thing that happens when pressure is off and some lads play a game just for fun.
I know everyone is sad and all, but I, and most of us will never be in the top 4 in the world at anything.
Im not a big football fan, I do want England to win, but ill be honest ive not watched the matches, but my Jude Bellingham content obsession is becoming unhealthy. Good luck Bab
This was short lived and largely ruined by London. Midlands is winning in the football and in temperature.

I wouldnt normally support the favourite but I hope Sinner wins in straight sets!
A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea
I didnt stay up, but did keep waking up in the night with the sense I had left the iron on.
From my experience watching TV at this time of the morning, this thing is going to be decided by the suburban seats in the Midlands.
Djokovic really has won over my heart, I used to really dislike him and now im constantly rooting for him. Not sure why.

Thinking of the bravery of those going through a long drawn out and very public trial.
Sam McBride@sjamcbride.bsky.social · last mo.Former DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is a paedophile, a jury has unanimously found: Guilty on all 18 counts, including rape of a primary school girl. Judge says jail is "inevitable" and ex-MP immediately remanded into custody. Full breaking coverage:
Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.
Beautiful display in Parliament celebrating Jo’s life and legacy ahead of the 10th anniversary of her murder tomorrow💜 #JoCox @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social
As one of a number of MPs who can claim Roy Hattersley as a predecessor (boundary changes) I was sad to hear todays news. I remember being under tables as a small child in meetings with him, or in campaign committee rooms where he let us go on the loud hailer. Birmingham salutes his service.
Kim Leadbeater echoes her sister Jo Cox's words from her maiden speech: "We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us."
John Healey is an utterly decent man. Under his leadership of the MOD I saw real mettle on the issue of VAWG in armed forces and also his handling of the murder of Agnes Wanjiru was so far away from what their family had become accustomed to. A great man. www.gov.uk/government/n...
