#SmallProphets on BBC iPlayer is just brilliant. Magical, funny and a window into the eccentric lives tucked away in England’s suburbs. I binge watched in a day. Mackenzie Crook’s writing is superb - go and watch immediately.

As one of the sane people who didn’t vote for Brexit, I too want to warn about the pure chaos at the airports. Barcelona was hideous, only about 4 machines of the 40 working, queuing for over an hour till staff gave up and herded people through without even looking at passports.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social this is just the latest in a series from Musk going after Bannon. Is this why he dislikes Farage?

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

Just read an old post and after Dizzy tanked I said I’d be cross with the BBC if his new album had better songs on it. I am not cross with the BBC over that at least. And for the record I like Olly Alexander but whatever path that was, it’s not his finest songwriting hour.

Whatever MEEK is up to it’s either using rumours as promo or hiding in plain sight. #Eurovision 🇬🇧

And all my fellow atheists have the same question. Surely if the Rochdale case was a Muslim led grooming gang then the #Epstein case is a Jewish led grooming gang?

I’d say it might be time for the police to reopen the unsolved case of the murder of 17 year old Alisa Dmitrijeva, whose body was found on the Sandringham Estate.

#TraitorsUK has genuinely become the most amazing vehicle for UK cultural debate. The fashion angle in creating identity is just wonderful. My daughter and I were always on earring watch - think the jewellery industry also needs a bigger role next year.

It's not just what they say or how they act that influences their fellow contestants - it's how they dress, too.

What a wonderful return from #HarryStyles - uplifting vintage trance with a message that we needed. A good day to shut out the filth and lock into a better path ahead.

Had a playlist on for a class today and Like A Prayer was on.
Girl in Y5: ‘who sings this?’
Me: ‘Madonna’
Girl in Y5: ‘who’s #Madonna?’
And with that I decided I needed a glasses chain, some tan tights and a stairlift.

I’ve never seen a day like it in the UK. Not just every single political party condemning #Trump but voters from all corners talking of his clear metal decline, the danger the US poses, boycotts and accepting NATO will be without America. Thats where we are. Whats the rest of Europe saying?

Two questionable decisions here… sending #Eurovision on tour to the Netherlands to ‘celebrate the music, the artists, and the community that have made the Eurovision Song Contest what it is for seven remarkable decades’. And charging £40 for SOCKS.

They’re defending the right to create non-consensual sexualised images of women and children as ‘free speech’.
I know we lose our shit quite often but they’ve definitely lost their shit.
January 10, 2026 at 3:53 PM
1/2 Listening to @newsagents.bsky.social and lost for appropriate words as they berate the Government for lack of action and express their frustration on how disgusting it is sexualised images of women and girls can be condoned on X.

The Brexiteers were fundamentally wrong BUT on this absolute bullshit, they were right. Europe needs its arse kicking into gear (I include the UK in that). If the institutions that are supposed to protect the continent are this weak, the whole lot needs to ripped up.
Incredibly awkward EU Commission press conference, with representatives unable and unwilling to answer questions on Greenland.

To the extent they just ghost journalists insisting on the issue. ~AA
