23rd January: Trump announced he was sending an "armada" to Iran. British nationals have had more than enough time to get out of Dubai 🤷‍♂️

Just been checking my atlas to see where Dubai is. Why did anyone ever think it could be considered a safe holiday destination?

I just wish he'd had the guts at the time to stare straight down the lens and say "well, she WAS a bigot."

I'm sure the vast majority of visitors to the show are already very receptive to the benefits of being in nature. They just need an extra little nudge :-)

@nedboulting.bsky.social Whilst planning for the UK stages of Le Tour de France 2027, I've realised that I don't know how to spell "schlueging," and no one's been able to help me 🤷‍♂️

Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was. He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.

I'm a member of the horde of British cyclists which infests Mallorca in the spring, and your talk of formal gardens, churches and historic industries made me stop to wonder if a day or two off the bike might be a solid investment 🤔

Farage hopes he can breeze into power without scrutiny. But his racism, corrupt donations, shady links to Russia and MAGA… make it harder for him to hide. And his tantrum reactions to being challenged reveal him for the nasty inadequate he really is. #NeverPM www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-wheels...

Farage's former right hand man in Wales, Nathan Gill, has been sentenced to 10.5 years in prison. He was taking bribes to spread pro Russian propaganda. Betraying Britain in support of a foreign power is the opposite of patriotism. #NeverVoteReform

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏 PM Keir Starmer

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.

I don't know if it's relevant to the Diane Abbot discussion, but I found out that she's black in the early 1990's. I didn't learn that Robert Peston is Jewish until twenty minutes ago while listening to the trawl.

Alcohol free beer has transformed my visits to open mic nights (which are usually too far to walk). Although I doubt that anyone else notices, swigging a big glass of Vimto is a bit of a vibe-killer for me, and the facsimile of a couple of pints of beer is almost as relaxing as the real thing.

Company execs collect up to 575 times median worker pay. Workers get crumbs. 2016 -2023: 3m workers denied minimum wage. No prosecution. P&O Ferries illegally sacked 800 workers. No prosecution. Companies secretly blacklisted trade unionists. Democratise corporations or become corporate slaves.

Taming corporations is the key issue of our times
To appease corporations, people may raze mountains, divert rivers, clear forests, cover countryside in tarmac and shower subsidies upon them, but they have no loyalty to any place, people or product.
