Bill Bailey plays the Star Spangled Banner in a minor key.

You'll soon see why this should be the national anthem for Trump's America.

Any allergies?

Yes, wasps.

I really hope this becomes the norm as everyone wins, including the taxpayer.
The Scottish Government has asked the Home Office to agree to a trial that would allow asylum seekers to work in some parts of Scotland after six months of arrival and have the restrictions on what jobs they can do lifted. This used to be the norm for asylum seekers.

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

Very sad, looking at the parliamentary debates between Prescott and Hague, that they liked and respected each other, despite disagreeing fundamentally. That's totally gone today. Why?

It's my opinion that Victoria Derbyshire should replace Laura Kuenssberg on every single BBC show she is on, and she should do it right now.

I'm sure you agree.

This👇🏼👇🏼is why Victoria Derbyshire should have Kuenssberg’s show and replace Fiona Bruce❗️❗️

She takes no prisoners…

Instead of having blatant right wing/Tory bias & sycophantic like Bruce & Kuenssberg.. which sounds like some crap TV act 🤢
Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam.

Hilarious to watch him squirm.

It would be very useful if Bluesky could not show you posts that you've already seen. Anyone else think so?

The best case for leaving twitter is that the swamp dwelling paid blue ticks - even the famous ones - won't follow. They are too invested in the Musk of MAGA.

Sensible people - of all poltical shades will - and we have an opportunity here to reset the discourse and bring back a degree of rationale

When you have a pacemaker installed, they then stop your heart permanently. I kinda thought that it helped your heart regulate itself. But, no - it takes over. Spooky idea, but makes perfect sense.
