Hi. I'm short-sighted, left-handed and colour blind. But it's not all pluses.

@ARWURZELBS3 He’s the sitting MP. As was Tom Hunt, the Tory, before him, who also benefited from freebies from the club. It’s a shit argument. Try again.

"In my country can't say anything or you might get put in prison"

There are multiple reasons this is a bad idea

I'll go through each one by one for anyone who can be arsed to find out

The only people who won't be arsed are people who think this only for ideological, NOT rational reasons

I’ll whisper it… not missing Morsy. This is my preferred midfield pairing. #itfc

When in the Horseshoe Bar after 9pm... and they put your song on...

Labour has already done more on illegal immigration than the Tories managed in 14 years.

And no one needed to be sent to Rwanda.

The progress so far:

@Glinner @jonsopel Mate. What happened to you? I’m so sorry.

[Sebastian Salek @sebastiansalek]

Labour racked up the wins this week.

Lots of new initiatives to make the country fairer and greener in particular. (Though much of it didn’t make the papers.)

What you might have missed:

I genuinely thought the world would be a more pleasant place after Covid given what we all went through. Couldn't have been more wrong. Everyone's lost their fuckin minds.

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[Channel 4 Dispatches @C4Dispatches]

The Royals make millions in profit each year, but this has always been shrouded in secrecy, until now.

A joint @C4Dispatches and @thetimes investigation reveals that the King and Prince William are receiving public money through leasing property to public services like the NHS.

Neil Innes’ pastiche of Ringo’s Helter Skelter yelp is just one of the million things to love about him.
What’s your favourite Neil moment?

Yes, sod it. Let’s try and get #NeilInnes trending

@daniellloyd1 The Vuelta highlights on Quest this year were disappointing. Compared to the comprehensive, and thoughtful ITV shows at least. They also didn’t appear at all on a couple of occasions. It will be a downgrade, at best.
