All golf courses should be rewilded or made into public parks. No exceptions. As a priority, the 15 or so that are inside London should be immediately turned back to parkland.

Spaced is 25 years old today!

Stream every episode now on Channel 4, you lucky people 🍀

“Oh my god I’ve got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket.”

'Spaced' was first shown on @Channel4 on September 24th, 1999. Thanks to Simon & Jess for believing in me to direct the whole thing at 24! If you worked on it or watched it back then, thank you x

The countryside having a slower pace of life is one of the biggest lies ever told. Maybe if you're retired. If not, it's exactly the same pace of life except all the facilities you need are much more spread out, making it arguably more stressful.

Anyone who replies "Chapeau" to anything is self-evidently a cunt.

Assuming Pogi doesn’t do anything crazy; will Vingegaard give the Vuelta a shot? Extra week of recovery and he’s clearly not in bad shape (and incredible from where he came from this spring). #TDF2024

The unflushable turd has popped back up.

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

The Conservatives lost the election because we failed to take on the 25 year consensus which has led to economic stagnation and cultural decline.

The Starmer Government is the last gasp of Blairism.

The Conservative Party appears to have deleted their twitter account.

Right place, right time.

One of the safer Tory seats in the UK.

Has been Tory for all but a
Couple of the last 100 years.

One of the seats where labour did actually grow their support this election.

[Marcus JB @marcusjb]

Every part of me now wants Slovenia to win this. Unreal.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Change will only happen if you vote for it.

Shoot. This is actually bad news in Derbyshire Dales where there is a chance of over turning one of the safer seats in England. Need all the right wing nutters to vote Reform rather than @Dines4Dales - hopefully @WhitbyJmwhitby turns the Dales red!

Yes we know he's lost the election and this will never happen but it's pretty depressing to know that someone has run the figures and worked out that being horrible to young people shores up votes amongst the old. Must remember to guard against this dark impulse as we all age.

[Marcus JB @marcusjb]

The constituency I live in (with a name change and a few boundary changes) has had a @Conservatives MP for 74 years, but I do think we are about to see a change and a @UKLabour MP in @WhitbyJmwhitby

The shy tories are very shy, I have not seen any support for @Dines4Dales

[Marcus JB @marcusjb]

I hope he is found safe and well.

Teno is tough walking terrain when well equipped and carrying water.

The ridge heading towards Masca is one of the more exhilarating paths I have walked recently.

I really hope this turns out better than it looks.

The list of big hitters under threat makes you wonder if any of us will ever have heard of the next leader of the Conservatives?!?

Unless it is Farage obviously.

[Marcus JB @marcusjb]

Going to make the Portillo moment fade into history.

A serving PM losing his seat in a supposed @Conservatives safe seat is just beyond comprehension.

Even here in Derbyshire Dales (one of the safer Tory seats) it looks like @Dines4Dales is out.

Possibly the greatest ever ambient track just got released on streaming services. Nearly 30 years old and still ahead of everyone. Been hard to get hold of this past 30 years (unless you like cassette and certain vinyl pressings).
