A very happy 50th birthday to our patron Tim Minchin. Thank you for the music, the laughter, and these really lovely words on living, happiness, and finding meaning in the here and now. Happy Birthday, Tim!

I'm sitting by a pool in Crete, on holiday, and I have just made an arse of myself, by laughing out loud at that. Thanks, from the guy on the sunbed now avoiding eye contact with everyone.

Here’s an idea… Why don’t we try facts first, frothing later? Let the Fairford investigation finish before anyone decides what it means …and for goodness sake, don’t believe a word from Trump and his lot. Me on @jeremyvineon5 this morning…

England and the UK are not the same. 😁 Cruella Braverman is an ex conservative Home Secretary and all round headcase. She has all the authority of the "dry clean only" label. (Thanks Frankie Boyle).

A US embassy staffer accused of having indecent images of children is flown back to the US before the Met can question him - wrapped in diplomatic protection he doesn’t even hold as a diplomat. Special relationship. Special rules. Justice optional.

My dad was a public school teacher; and he always said the toughest parts of the job were: 1. Having to pay for your own classroom chalk, and 2. Performing gender-reassignment surgeries during class hours w/out parents finding out.

A truly great article on where we are with the energy and climate change crisis in Scotland. I was due to speak at SNP conference against the folly of the Scotwind sell-off, but couldn't because of a tech problem. All my arguments for public ownership and more are here. Circulate widely, people.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26
