Happy Valentine’s Day all! ❤️ What could be more romantic than listening to me dragging Hernán Cortés for filth on #YDTM? I had a great time with Jen Brister & @gregjenner.bsky.social & even got to call William Prescott a dirty old man on the BBC 😂 What a result!

If I came from a family that has held a seat in House of Lords for 7 generations and used it to protect their vast empire from Tax and Inheritance Tax.
I probably wouldn't be complaining about free bus passes for Senior Citizens.
You'd look ridiculous.

Wes Streeting has received £225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I oppose the right-wing media's obsessive transphobia on principle of course but it's also a dead giveaway (see Matthew Syed's column today) that someone is speaking to a small audience of their peers. It is an all-consuming issue for a powerful minority but not a great concern for most people

Cat’s out of the bag, I guess… no, I do not know how to pose for photos, and yes, it was HOT under the lights, hence my bright red face 😂 Was very lovely to see @carolinepennock.bsky.social and meet Elizabeth Baquedano, among other wonderful people who contributed to the show.
What a treat to see my friend @amyfuller.bsky.social at the launch of the major new BBC Arts documentary series, 'Civilisations: Rise and Fall', which is coming to BBC2 later this month. It's all still thoroughly embargoed, but apparently we're now allowed to officially admit that we're in it!

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

That Britain has a king, that the king's brother has been involved in serious instances of sexual abuse, that the consequence is for him to be stripped of a handful of abstruse feudal titles and that Britain's elite think this is a fitting punishment, is the mark of a truly fucking weird country.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
