It's 25 years ago today that Kirsty MacColl died. The world has been a poorer place ever since she was taken from it.
Here's my favourite song by her for your enjoyment.

Apart from giving us When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride and Spinal Tap, Rob Reiner himself did one of the most subtle and brilliant moments of physical comedy ever: when he folds his arms and changes his mind halfway through in the intro to TIST. Cracks me up every time.

So sad to hear of Rob Reiner's death. This is Spinal Tap is one of the most iconic films ever made and one of my all time favourites. I'll watch it once more tonight in his honour.

I have Scottish blood on my maternal side. I was always proud of this fact until the other day, when my mum told me true Scots make porridge with water and salt instead of milk and sugar. Fucking savages.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... I dont know much about Zarah Sultana but the combination of her and Corbyn seems problematic . Not only because they obviously don’t agree on anything but they are both totally unelectable activists and could never form a government so are a waste of votes
Your Party conference thrown into chaos as Zarah Sultana boycotts first day
Sultana skips Saturday’s proceeding in solidarity with delegates expelled over links to other parties

Literally all this Your Party shambles has done at this point is lower my opinion of both Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. A few months ago I'd have said they should both just join the Greens, now I don't want either of them anywhere near the Green Party

Just seen this beauty at the bottom of Library Street in Wigan. A quick Google search says it's a 1929 Aveling & Porter Type D.
What a magnificent piece of engineering. 😍

Whoever needs reminding: the Convention on Human Rights is one of the greatest achievements of European civilisation, following one of its greatest tragedies. For us to leave it would not only undermine all our own rights and freedoms, it would be a completely immoral abdication of responsibility.

A Farage government will actually ask the Irish government, and the nationalist community in Northern Ireland, to agree to give up the ECHR provisions in the Good Friday Agreement.
Farage, in almost a throwaway moment at his deportation press conference
“Can we renegotiate the Good Friday Agreement to get the ECHR out of it?
.. yes”

OMFG the BLEATING of the "victims" of VAT on private schools is one of the most insufferable lobbies in the entire social media sphere.
You're paying VAT for your little darlings. Get over it and get a life. If you can't afford it, join us, The Plebs, in the state system. 1/3

Funding for social housing in #SpendingReview much needed. But if government doesn't end Right to Buy we'll continue to see our council housing stock sold off faster than councils can build - they're cranking up the bath taps but leaving the plug out!
