A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Look, about the ghost.

We haven't actually registered an apparition / cold spot / odd noise in this house.

(Unless you count a few customers asking the name of the white cat. Our cats are orange and tortoiseshell...?)

So we usually disappoint ghost hunters.

That said...

Her name is Claire.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

Exclusive!! #EubankBenn #EubankJrBenn

Conor Benn got stuck in the lift on arrival for 20 mins. Eubank Jr had to walk up the stairs from the garage and was really annoyed. Conor and Chris then met in the corridor and had a mini barney but it stayed calm. Then Eubank Sr and Jr had a massive row!

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.

They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.

They raped them.

Sex implies consent.

The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

This is tragic and beautiful and, for some of us, very relatable. For anyone who is, has, or loves someone that has experienced some kind of chronic illness will appreciate it.

Brilliant to see the other contestants supporting Miss Mexico after she was abused by the Miss Universe local Director in Thailand. #MissUniverse
The Miss Universe competition was abruptly halted when the host called for Miss Mexico, Ahebala, to come forward. Many beauty queens left the stage with her.

Amazing talent to write and play this stuff
Barry, John Barry. Happy Birthday.
From the BBC Proms in 2011, Keith Lockhart and the BBC Orchestra performing "Capsule in Space" and "007" by John Barry, BOTD. Two cues which, IMHO, stand on their own as exciting, goosebump-inducing pieces of music.
Good stuff, JB. Good stuff.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

I only knew the modern meaning of "Luddite" until recently. Turns out, the Luddites were badass, actually. So you get a thread! And now you'll know too!
