That giant battering ram… The celebrities look like they’ve accidentally wandered into a surprise S&M party! Can’t wait until they start to shout “harder!” 😂 #CelebrityTraitors

A mangled web of garbled syntax, overheated metaphors and mystifying verbal contortions, often requiring too much effort to decode Also into art, music, nature, current affairs and history. Forever mourning simpler times 📍Bournemouth, UK
@mrjamesob.bsky.social—The comments re: Inheritance Tax, v similar to the bile Lewis Goodall got. There’s a grim but revealing pattern: middle-aged white men in panic. Not for their kids—more their own inheritance to fund midlife vanity—sports cars, golf clubs, home exts, hols—status by inheritance
I swear Kemi Badenoch thinks there’s a veritable army of architects, surgeons & nuclear physicists currently lounging on benefits, who she can force back to work on £200k salaries & single-handedly balance the welfare budget. It’s more complicated and not the silver bullet she think it is #bbclaurak
Oh god, today’s lineup: Kemi Badenoch, Richard Tice, Penny Mordaunt, followed by the trope-spinning double act of The Independent and The Telegraph. An hour of spin, sensationalism, weaponised nonsense and absolute bullshit. #bbclaurak
A propaganda epic about two self-declared political prisoners, persecuted by the woke deep state, bravely surviving the greatest hardship known to man: consequences 😂
Amol Rajan says: “I can ask annoying questions and keep chasing the answers” Anyone who’s ever listened to BBC Radio 4 will tell you the reality is rather different: Amol asks annoying questions and then ignores the answers A bumptious berk in any setting #CelebrityTraitors #r4 #bbcr4 #r4today
Claudia Winkleman looking like she’s just stepped straight out of a Vivienne Westwood photoshoot with tartan trousers and a highland shipwreck 😂 #TheTraitors #CelebrityTraitors
On Christa Pike: State Gov said executions must be “legal, constitutional & effective” Notice whats missing: humane Yet when the execution failed (twice), they took her to hospital? If they intended to kill her, why intervene to keep her alive? The INSANE contradiction that is capital punishment
Is it sad I’m looking forward to Idiots Corner on the @mrjamesob.bsky.social show? 😂 With talk of rejoining the EU, I can already hear some gammon come patriot: “It was the will of the people! We can make Brexit work! Britain survived the Blitz!” Can’t wait! Pass the popcorn🍿 #RejoinEU #LBC 🇬🇧🇪🇺🗳️
Andrew Neil: “Rejoining the EU will divide the nation, take years to sort out, cost a fortune and we’ll have freedom of movement again!” Yup. Thats the idea. Where do I sign? 🗳️ #Newsnight #RejoinEU #Remain @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
“Hypnotized, paralyzed by what my eyes have seen” This plays over Aileen Wuornos’ execution in Monster: Lizzie Borden and has been stuck in my head ever since Sight isn’t just seeing, it’s bearing the weight of trauma. Shutting your eyes becomes the only way to survive what you can never unsee 💔
I loved Madonna’s VMA performance and that she won 7 awards! 43 years into her career, still pioneering and ahead of the curve whilst others frantically copy her blueprint. To the misogynists, ageists and bigots still rattled by her, I quote James Baldwin: “Artists are here to disturb the peace” 😘
Kuenssberg can barely maintain eye contact with Andy Burnham now. She’s to used to polished but pushover Etonian southerners. Give her a straight-talking northern man who doesn’t play her games and she looks spooked and utterly rattled. #bbclaurak
Laura Kuenssberg is so uncouth. Opening her question with a tactful pause to acknowledge Andy Burnham’s father dying two weeks ago, only to then scoff through “What are you going to do?” That isn’t professional or tough interviewing. It’s cheap, performative and deeply lacking in grace #bbclaurak
Started watching Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story on Netflix and I’m completely hooked. Episode one featuring Kate Bush’s ‘Hounds of Love’. Lyrics like below are the perfect reminder that simplicity really is her greatest crafts. Such a songstress. ❤️
I have absolutely no idea why, but watching @nigella.bsky.social absolutely demolish coffee and walnut cake is weirdly seductive. She GOES IN. Girl wants FLAVOUR. I’m a gay man and yet somehow Nigella has me questioning my own fucking operating system! 🍰😈 #GBBO
Thank you @mrjamesob.bsky.social for shining a light on brave RNLI volunteers facing far-right abuse. I never realised how harrowing the lyrics to “Rule, Britannia!" by James Thomson are: "Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves—Britons never, never, never will be slaves” How patriotic 💔 #LBC
Just had to look up “British Rail sandwiches” after @mrjamesob.bsky.social used them as some folks defence for nationalisation WHAT HAVE I UNEARTHED? A cult classic of gloriously underwhelming sandwiches, with recipes now preserved in museums Love a culinary archaeology—God Save the sarnie 🇬🇧🥪 #LBC
Ash Smith argues a fortress of facts on how privatised water looted £85bn from bill payers, drowning us in debt Justin Webb’s top-tier journalistic counter-attack: "Is this just hazy and warm nostalgia for the paragons of efficiency?" That is a man buffering in real time 🤦♂️ #r4 #r4today #bbcradio4
Thames Water hit by £2bn bill for finance costs and advisers’ fees. Result of years of borrowing to pay dividends, cost passed to customers. TW has violated terms of its licence, has numerous criminal convictions. Must be brought into public ownership. archive.ph/FXmvV

Well, that was fun—A 4hr cluster migraine attack, escalating from “slight tingle” to “someone’s stabbing me in the eye with a blunt screwdriver” in a matter of minutes. It took Paramol, Diclofenac, Nurofen, Propranolol, a dark room and a CPAP machine to downgrade it to the dull headache it is now 🤯🙃
You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.
