So happy that one of my favourite ever TV series is now on BBC iPlayer. A very Peculiar Practice by Andrew Davies. It has a stellar cast including Barbara Flynn and a young Hugh Grant. Strongly recommend it if you like surreal black comedy dramas set in a 1980s university. #averypeculiarpractice

Dorothy Bryne, former head of #C4News "People keep saying this story is about women, and all they do is talk about men" "What's intolerable is how these men are making out that they are the victims" "They've all been having the most terrible time"

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Sterling and invaluable work by Prof Christina Pagel in documenting the serious damage Trump has done to the US in just a few months. Absolutely terrifying and sobering, when you see it all recorded like this and it’s only the beginning…

Absolute solidarity with trans and non-binary individuals today. This is another blow to being recognised and accepted. It does nothing to protect anyone, but it does make lives harder and rights at more risk, for trans and non-binary individuals, yet again. www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/16/s...

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

This is really interesting and thought provoking writing - worth a read. Nowadays it feels as there’s no space for nuanced political conversations.

#totp Loving this 1985 episode. Tunes are from my much played Out Now! double tape collection. What a year for music.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

On LBC this morning, I spoke about why we should be far more worried the power Elon Musk is accruing, especially in light of his Open AI moves. The normalisation of his actions and activity by quite a bit of the US and even UK media is a big part of the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnt...

LONG THREAD: Okay, let's break down a few things, both about ID cards and Labour's ill-advised tactics on "fighting Reform". First off, I personally don't think ID cards would work in UK, because we are objectively bad at things like this, but they work elsewhere so this isn't about them per se. 1/

This is definitely worth a listen from the always excellent Simon Marks. These are terrifying times. If this happened in another country it might be called a coup. What next??

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Kaine: "Why race-bait at a moment like this? I think POTUS didn't want to be asked tough questions like, why did you let Elon Musk force the FAA administrator to resign... why did you scrap an aviation safety advisory committee on the 2nd day of your presidency?... why did you issue a buyout offer?"

Recently arrived here, as an exile from that ‘other place’. Am impressed so far. Much more chilled.
