UK right now:

If you fancy a funny Aussie take on Scandi Noir then there's 2 series of Deadloch on Amazon Prime and it's very funny.

After 6 hours in an online queue, I finally got Bayeux Tapestry tickets. Feel like I managed to get Oasis tickets.

Let us never speak of these 2 again

Oh Eurovision is fucked.

I want this lady to do the election night programme and maybe do little clips on how different PR systems work.

12 to Lithuania, 10 to Serbia. I have zoned out.

Labour Leadership Voting Intentions: Starmer Vs Burnham: Burnham: 61% Starmer: 28% Starmer Vs Miliband: Miliband: 46% Starmer: 39% Starmer Vs Rayner: Rayner: 45% Starmer: 41% Starmer Vs Streeting: Starmer: 53% Streeting: 23% Via @labourlist.bsky.social - 1,124 Members, 13-14 May.

What, exactly, is Wes Streeting's game plan here? Who is a Streeting fan boy? Which wing of the party is he expecting to swing behind him? Is he not, at best, a shithouse in an insecure seat?

Your Party's entire Scottish interim executive has resigned en masse, declaring it "over" and saying they will start a new party instead. Says Your Party is not a "serious attempt to unite the left" and "cannot recover."

Watching parliament and Kemi Badenoch's pronunciation of 'Khamenei' has sent me under.

Oh Kelly...

doesn’t andrew look like his dad?

Watching this bullshit Tim Spector programme on Channel 4 about ultra processed foods and it's making me want to kick his head in.

Ok. So. They anonymised the sheep.

Back to work tomorrow.

Had to report a child shouting "c**n" in a lesson today. A word that probably hasn't seen regular use since the 1970s.

The Times and Sunday Times@thetimes.com · 10mo ago

NASUWT said its members were reporting more hate incidents against pupils and staff as ‘abusive rhetoric’ by politicians trickled down through the system

You lucky cunts who don't have or work with kids have no idea how lucky you are you don't have to hear "6-7" every minute of the day. Genuinely feel like just disappearing and living off the grid.

I love a bit of knitting. But #gameofwool is almost completely joyless.

Bet they're dead chuffed about that in Gaza. They probably talk of little else.

Prince William ‘moved by courage’ of Gazan children under UK care

Gosh.

Independent MP Ayoub Khan has told PolHome he was once forced to kill a dog with his hands to save the life of a baby He spoke to Tom Scotson at Your Party conference in Liverpool

My son is at this conference btw. I think because he still has some hope. He just rung me to rant about it.

Zarah Sultana boycotts first day of Your Party conference over 'witch hunt' expulsions

How are they going to knit a fairisle in 12 hours? I've been knitting the same pair of socks for at least 5 years. #gameofwool

It sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher was singing Siobhan Fahey's part in Stay. #strictly

nothing on Earth has moved faster today than the fingers of racists composing racist posts

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

We're now at "black people aren't British". Open sewer racism. Look forward to seeing him on QT again soon.
