With the Greens now having the same number of seats as Reform, the UK media should provide them the same platform and level of coverage as Farage’s ilk. Will it happen though? #GE24

No we weren't. We were repeatedly told that inflation was absolutely nothing to do with the government.

Anne Boyer has resigned as the poetry editor of the New York Times magazine: “Because our status quo is self-expression, sometimes all artists have left is to refuse. So I refuse.”

The Labour Party values in question: being pro war crimes; being pro genocide

Turns out that going in to a career in I.T after watching the 1995 film hackers was a mistake. Less edgy underground Angelina Jolie cyberpunks and more middle aged fat balding men saying 'Fucks sake' 10 times an hour, myself included. We don't even get a cool den to hang out in.

Well, this will be the last time the BBC tries to interview a highly competent professional.

A few weeks back I mounded about my own work being behind a £3.4k paywall (about £1.20 a word). Well, it's now 'free to view' for two weeks. Don't delay! Read it now. Its on UK Labour's credibility obsession: https://t.co/7UMbM4PlVd

I've written to @grantshapps to request that he pays for the £20 billion odd annual climate damage to the UK.

As the political wing of the fossil fuel industry it seems right he should take responsibility, and while this government fails to meet its own targets (see CCC report)

@barneyronay Is Peckaham what the cool kids are calling it nowadays?

No more succession? No problem.
I’ve made the sequel.

It's a real pity that Kafka died a hundred years too early to be able to contact Virgin Media customer service to try and cancel his broadband.

[John Cowie @johnacowie]

@ctford @its_adamneely Yeah agreed this one was great.

@elliemaeohagan If it's coding jobs he cares about it'd probably be a better fit to make philosophy compulsory until 18

If I had a drink every time a football pundit said 'a little bit of quality' I would be dead.

Think what you like but no one made Qatar bid for this World Cup. If they cannot meet the global standards set for such an event, *that they claimed they would accept*, then they should not have been given the tournament.

@ctford @JulianBirch Very elastic scalability is another selling point

My 3 year-old niece will be on her 4th prime minister when Truss is replaced. I was 20 years old when I got to my 4th prime minister.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

OK, hear me out, this was actually a visionary and inspired action.
