@prodnose ‘The biggest bit. Bits. Journey. Process….’ Every time he is interviewed there is this nonsensical jargon. So pleased I don’t have to listen to that tedious crap or watch his boring football any more. Get used to your forwards having any flair coached out of them.

Well done @itvnews on pointing out the soaring rise in immigration “since we completed Brexit” - a key factor. This should be pointed out to Farage (who championed Brexit) in every interview

Elon Musk keeps appearing on my feed promoting far right bullshit. Twitter’s plaform for validated content is clearly no more and X seems to be a growing haven of ideals I don’t share. I’m taking a hiatus from it and using Bluesky from now on. Cheers. @bristolrob.bsky.social

@NigelGPearson Best wishes, Nigel. I wish you good health and happiness.

[Nigel Pearson @NigelGPearson]

I would like to thank all the kind people who have continued to send their support during the last 13 months. I'd like to update you. Learning to walk again has been an incredible challenge. My appreciation of support from family, friends, colleagues, supporters, and medical professionals has been profound.

I had the wonderful opportunity of travelling to the US with my dad to meet family for the first time, in Wisconsin.

Recently, I've been able to cycle in the Peak District, and swing golf clubs at the driving range, although my follow through needs some work (I've not fallen over yet!)

Although my prognosis is still uncertain, believe me that positivity and laughter can prove the best medicine as I experienced with old friends from school on a canal narrow boat on my birthday... there is always light somewhere ahead... new possibilities, new challenges.

Take care of each other, and enjoy a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones.

Cheers, Nige

Creepy facts about your favorite authors 🧵

1. Lewis Carroll, author of "Alice in Wonderland," wanted to marry an 11-year-old girl named Alice Liddell when he was 31. His obsession with her is widely believed to have inspired his famous story.

@MatthewStadlen Why should someone with £5 million of assets get taxed and another person with £5 million of assets not get taxed, just because their assets are a farm. With exemptions, it only affects a tiny proportion of farmers anyway.

@ATRightMovies Singles and Lost in Translation.

How many farmers will actually be affected by the changes to inheritance tax?

@DanNeidle does the math...

[David Graeber Institute @Graeber_social]

In 1949, Albert Einstein wrote WHY SOCIALISM.

Here is an extract.

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long.

Over 60 MPs from eight parties have now backed my Parliamentary motion calling for sanctions on Israel.

Israel is carrying out war crime after war crime.

Our Government must impose widespread sanctions on Israel to force it to stop.

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else.

Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits.

I wonder if they are related?

Denying this is a bit like denying gravity.

Not many nations are this dim.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Tories, without any irony at all having the brass neck to lecture anyone about fiscal responsibility is one for the ages.

For the layman, they torched your home, nicked and gave your valuables to their mates, ran off and are now shouting at the Fire Brigade for attempting to putting the fire out.

And STILL nobody arrested for the grand theft of YOUR money by virtue of corrupt contracts given out.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

We don't need more cuts. We need to make the super-rich pay to fix the mess left by the Tories.

In Parliament this week, I'll be presenting a petition backed by nearly 50,000 people calling for Wealth Taxes.
