Some banging Jesus rays in the Big House this afternoon…
Andy Burnham is what would happen if the creators of “Ted Lasso” were guest writers on “The Thick Of It.”
What if Keir Starmer ran on to pitch as a secret sub, and put the fifth and final goal into the net? Would you all take him back then?
Nigel Farage has spent 20 years of sowing division and hate, he has polarised politics, and now he’s realising that his words have consequences and it’s coming home to roost for him, so is now seeking state protection and getting people arrested for messages on social media.
I wouldn’t be surprised ifJeremy Corbyn’s equally farcical organisation fielded a candidate and split the Count Binface to allow Farage back to claim his seat.
After months of checking their website and emailing OpenReach, and being heartbroken to be told there are “no plans” to upgrade the address to full-fibre… they have, tonight, said it is immediately available to order. That’s made my day.
This song has got stuck in my head from time to time over the years. It’s as relevant now as it was when first broadcast over a decade ago. youtu.be/hn6Rds4kbFE

None of the major parties are entertaining Farage’s self-indulgent toddler-like tantrum.
Jim Pickard@pickardje.bsky.social · 4w agoI can reveal that Labour isn't putting forward a candidate for the Clacton by-election....
The ultimate grifter knows the grift is over… and that there is worse to come. I wouldn’t be surprised if the roots of the weeds we see now all link back to Moscow.

I would love to see Sheridan Smith playing the role of Mrs Johnson is a future production of Blood Brothers.

It would be better if over 60s were banned from Facebook. That radicalisation of that generation, by that platform, is the bigger threat to society.

Princess Diana still on Morrissey’s list, and she’s been dead for nearly 30 years now. 🤷🏻♂️
Just finished the final episode of #TipToe. What an incredible bit of television that whole series was. Hauntingly accurate for the current time.

I don’t like it when politicians like Gove, who are guilty of some of the biggest policy disasters in a generation, try to rehabilitate their reputation and pop up on panel shows, making a joke of all those crazy things they did in office as if it is a reality TV spinoff show.#HIGNFY
It’s too late now, but Mandelson would have been a great addition to the political podcast world. He’s a proper catty little gossip peddler.
I hope that lad from M&S is getting whatever support from his organisation that he needs after being harassed and voxxed by a bunch of trouble making obsessives over on X.
He’s right up there with frosted tips, Tommy Hilfiger aftershave, two tone shirts and driving around with NYSYNC on the stereo. Fine in the late 90s, but not 30 years later.

Good to see Tony Blair back in the political discourse, rocking up like a rogue TimeLord from days gone by; offering the lofty insights that nobody wanted nor asked for. Somebody give him a podcast or something.
Just seen #ChoirOfMan in the Millennium Centre. What an incredible show. I can’t recommend it enough - an excellent night of theatre. Go and see it. Seriously.
