On my daily propaganda show tonight I will be pretending that Brexit wasn't a complete and unmitigated disaster based on the lies of a handful of rich grifting twats who don't give a shit about ordinary people.

I imagine this Drumcree nonsense is the perfect fuck-the-lot-of-yas from the Parades Commission after all the criticism.

📢📚 Hard sell time again. Here’s a book. It’s got stuff about things and people running and shouting. Read it before A/I comes and kills us all. Read the first one or it’ll be like walking into a film halfway through. #BookSky

Today’s news: ‘Hey, everybody. That thing I created to make me a fuck-ton of money is probably going to kill you all. So, you better do something about that.’

I feel sorry for our players. They should never have been put in this position. Nor should it have been left to the FAI. Israel should not be in the tournament. It’s UEFA’s failure. 🇮🇪

In the the midst of all this abject wankery there is one constant we can all rely on. One who never asks. Just gives. And keeps on giving. Thanks, beer.

As an author of weird little books, I used to spend a lot of time in agony over queries and submissions. I’ve stopped bothering. It’s just not worth the time or effort or the pain. I get it. Why might a publisher take a risk on a nobody when they can publish Steph McGovern or Claire Balding?

Don't miss GB News to hear me spout Reform propaganda and talk absolute bollocks completely unchallenged because for some reason I'm the only MP allowed to get away with this.

Lots to get annoyed about today. But, honestly, what’s the point? Nothing I can do about any of it. So, me and Jon Ronson are going for a walk. Then I’m going to do some research. Then I’m going to take my keyboard and horribly murder someone. #BookSky.

For years I thought that when Hugh Cornwall sang the line ‘and Sancho Panza’ on No More Heroes, he was actually singing ‘and Sensual Panzer’. No idea what it was supposed to mean but I’ve always fancied being a sensual panzer. Never quite made it, though.

Just because I strongly oppose any measure to tackle Russian misinformation, doesn’t mean I’m on Russia's side. In unrelated news, one of the few times I bothered turning up for work as an MEP was to vote AGAINST measures to tackle the spread of Russian misinformation...
