#gbbo Danni needs to do an “pro/am” celebrity GBBO with James Acaster ….she is like a female version of him with similar dry humour!

Entertaining evening in Hertford last night listening to restaurant/foodie tales from @jayrayner1.bsky.social - if you get the chance go see him in Edinburgh, Belfast or any other venue on his tour I can recommend if. Looking forward to reading the book 😊

Agreed…..social psychologists over the years have examined reasons for rises in racism and found austerity was a key factor…… that’s exactly the melting pot that Osbourne and Cameron first put on the fire in 2010.

Nigel Farage is very lucky that he didn't know what was being discussed at the lunch where he was discussing it

Thank you Sir Keir Starmer for being the best PM the UK has had since I was born. Fuck you to all the back stabbers and traitors (both in and outside the Labour Party) who have worked to undermine you since you became leader. Fuck them all.

Just what will it take for politicians and media to act in the best interests of the country and to give voice to the majority of voters… who are decent and liberal? Instead of trashing the place, chasing after the approval of ignorant racists who seem to have a total monopoly on their attention.

If Labour think changing PM will help, it won’t. The media will hound and hate whoever takes Starmer’s place just as much. For some reason, they have a desperate desire to see Farage become PM. They are not acting in the national interest.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

Labour announce a leak investigation into how the media were passed information on Mandelson's vetting, when ministers were not. It was announced during the debate in Parliament yesterday during the response by the Chief Secretary to the PM near the end of the debate.. 1/3

Primarily, we have a media and social media problem… People are - deliberately - not informed. The agenda of those who own the media is in direct conflict with the best interests of the country. And the agenda is a race to the bottom, removing rights and protections to better exploit people.

The pressure within media to do awful things to get ahead, impress the person you want to end up like, or copy what you see others doing is considerable. It becomes normal and acceptable when celebrated and rewarded. And it's utterly toxic and hugely damaging. This is so upsetting to read.

I had a South-east London bf who got a scholarship to Dulwich (a few years ahead of NF) he was the antithesis of him. Left-wing, educated, never lost his grounding, never wore red trousers either. There is hope 😊

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Feel the same - I’m still haunted by the little boy’s face as he was driven off in Philomena so definitely don’t think I could cope with the emotions of Hamnet in public. Will wait for it to come out on Sky or the like. 🥺

Why is BBC leading the news with story about Camila supporting John Hunt & his surviving daughter? I get it was a tragedy for the Hunt family but comparing it to Camila being assaulted on a train 50yrs ago 🤷‍♀️🤯? Can’t help but think bad news brewing for the RF & this is a smoke screen for it all?

Similar experience.. trial had lots of reading - 1 juror was illiterate, 1 juror coughed his way through the evidence so doubt he heard any of it, others used info we were told to ignore & the rest saw a black man & “knew” he guilt 😳. I would rather have a judge & 2 experts decide my fate.
