I'm sorry, but this is grotesque.

Keir Starmer supports the 'war on drugs' which disproportionately criminalises young Black men.

But he laughs about his past drug use as a "good time". Why does he think other people should be criminalised for doing what he did himself?

I try to be fair, but I do just think it is professionally dubious to write a glowing column about the PM in the Comment pages of the Times without mentioning he’s your best friend and was best man at your wedding.

OK everyone, this is boring, there's one trillion more important things in the world, and I'm sorry to inflict this on your timeline!

For the last few years, Telegraph columnist Suzanne Moore has had, let's say, a bit of a grudge against me.

It is completely and utterly untrue that I was found guilty of bullying anyone at The Guardian.

Given how viral this horrendous false claim has gone, I'd appreciate it everyone shared this @guardian statement.

Just to clarify in practice the £200 bill-credit 'loan' on all home elec bills in Oct.

- every bill will reduce by £200
- every bill after Apr 23 increases by £40/yr for 5yrs regardless of if you got the £200 or not.

Its a 1yr bill reduction followed by a 5yr compulsory levy.

I thought I'd do a thread of soviet anti-alcohol posters because they are often brilliant, ingenious, and... sobering.

First, from 1988, this one says "Passage to another world."

BREAKING: Leaked Sue Gray report reveals shocking abuse of the rules. Hard to see how the PM can cling on after this.

At Save Me we are on a mission to stop the badger culls. The government licenses continue until at least 2025. Another 4 years of badger deaths for nothing #wakeupdefra

That top down view is interesting..

Edward Colston's statue being dragged through the streets and thrown into the harbour where his slave ships docked was a more meaningful act of historical education than anything achieved in the 125 years it stood untroubled in Bristol.

Bro is everything ok? Those are some pretty deep song lyrics you've added to your MSN messenger display name

INT. JERRY’S APARTMENT

GEORGE: Somebody hacked my apes. They’re all gone.

JERRY: All gone?

GEORGE: Every single one! Funged!

JERRY: You can’t just funge a man’s ape!

GEORGE: That’s society for you - people are sick!

Got a 3D printer for Christmas, realized I can use it to print any New Year’s glasses I want.
