A truth...

The fight shouldn’t be between left & right

It should be between the uber-wealthy who are sucking up the wealth vs the rest of us

That’s the real fight

And it scares oligarchs so much, they spend their money & time (e.g Musk) ensuring we fight eachother instead

bartender: what can i get you

horse: what no that’s not how this format goes you’re supposed to say why the long f… you know what nvm just show me where i can get some water

bartender: i could but then i can’t make you drink

horse: what

I can be overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but I can’t be whelmed.

Or, at least, I think theoretically I could but the way I have set up my life seems to have made it very difficult.

I would love to spend more of my life whelmed. Someone whelm me.

Bless her heart.

I talk about this endlessly in my book....how our current electoral system is NOT fit for purpose

@petergeoghegan.bsky.social explains more re donations

Jeez Labour...tighten up these horrors....

NEW 🚨 Britain's electoral laws are broken - but successive governments have done nothing

Musk's proposed $100million donation to Nigel Farage shows we are on the cusp of a real crisis for British democracy

But it can be fixed. Here's how, by me

Don't worry, guys, I've looked in to this and throughout history when there's a rise of the far-right it's important to absolutely THRASH the left coz they are a threat to the centre/centre-right whereas the far-right are easily controlled NO WAIT I JUST FOUND A WORRYING BIT OH N

The meme I didn't know I needed

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Realised I don't want everything to be lost when I leave X - & here's a tweet I'd like to save for posterity.

7 years ago, curled up in bed with grief, I posted this & it went round the world, & the astounding response made me cry with gratitude.

Our magnificent, battered NHS.

I love you, Dad 💙

Here’s a little zen from the smoky mountains ⛰️

I'm thrilled to launch a crowdfunding campaign to bring to life the Japanese language edition of my children's book, "MY LOST FREEDOM." This picture book shares my experiences in U.S. concentration camps during WWII, a story I believe will resonate with my friends in Japan.

Here’s my photograph from the Grand Canyon village, Arizona. Have a wonderful day BlueSky.

Kids today will never know how it feels to own a copy of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom taped off the TV at Christmas and you've watched it fifty times so you know the order of the adverts off by heart and you just flat-out watch them every time.

To those still wondering why we lost a close election and what group Dems might have reached better, I say this: All this handwringing ignores the fact that more people voted for the convicted felon, sexual assaulter and insurrectionist.

Our problems run deep. Half the voters made an INSANE choice.

🧵This is the story of THE WORST GIG I've EVER done.

NYE 2018. I posted on Facebook about what a fab year I’d had, donned my best lashes and set off for my last gig of the year: singing pop to 80 people at a pub in Essex. Easy, easiest of gigs and paying sweeeet dollar.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.

So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.
