Denis Healey on David Owen

Healey kept a shelf of Spitting Image puppets as latex mementoes of his turbulent political life - among them Margaret Thatcher, Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock and David Owen. As he picked up the Owen puppet and squeezed it to make it squeak, I quoted Owen's view that when Healey stood for the Labour leadership in 1980 he “didn't have the guts to take on the left wing of the party”. “That's absolute bollocks," snorted Healey. “David Owen was a very self-centred person. He was good-looking, he was intelligent, he had immense charm and all these presents were given to him by the good fairy and then the bad fairy came along and tapped him on the shoulder and said, '... but you'll be a shit.”

My partner had never seen the work of genius that is the ‘tea consent’ video, so now I’m sharing it here again, because consent explained through the vehicle of tea is the most British thing ever. And also really fucking important.

Here lies JD. He drew as many comics as he could. @lostcity.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

There are NOT machine-made clothes. If there were, your clothes would be made in the country you live in (where the customers are), or in China (where machines are cheap). They’re made in Bangladesh or India or Indonesia because that’s where the LABOUR is cheap. Your clothes are made by people.

Joyce Carol Oates says: “This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to
different consumers.“

I think partly because they wanted to make sure I didn't just want a computer because everyone else had one, I missed the early 80s machines and my parents eventually gifted me the Atari STFM. Black Lamp was my favourite of the included games.

The Atari 520STFM box, with the Super Pack label stuck to the front, proudly announcing all the games I ever needed.

Night night sweet dreamies If we saw souls before bodies, perhaps we’d understand what truly makes someone beautiful. Be kinder to yourself. Stop focusing on everything you think you should be and appreciate everything you already are. You are enough. 🧡

Transgender people deserve to have a nice life. That is the entirety of the argument. If you disagree, you’re saying that you do not believe in liberty or justice for all.

I will always enjoy the coda to this which is how Ronnie Barker (who for all his talent could be annoyingly self-righteous) was absolutely furious about the sketch and Ronnie Corbett later informed Mel Smith saying that he found it quite funny.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

I think Dan is more of a Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson type (trapped young in a franchise, did not fully blossom until he was allowed to play weirdos) and Emma wants to be Malala so she's careful about her brand Rupert was always a question mark to me!
