Lovely to see you too, June. I really miss the Twitter we all knew and loved. x

My brother broke up with an early girlfriend who wasn’t the brightest light on the Christmas tree. He told her that staid visits to her grandparents every weekend weren’t his cup of tea. She innocently replied, “But you could have coffee.”

Obits saying Jeffrey Archer was a good guy are all written by people who are also not good guys.

Jeffrey Archer, who told loads and loads of made-up stories, has died. He also wrote some books.

It’s hard to know what to say about the appalling news from Tennessee last night. I will never accept that anyone defending this barbarism has any claim to be civilised.

I thought I preferred Robert Redford as a teenager. It took me too long to appreciate how truly beautiful Paul Newman was.

The RNLI isn't subsidised by the taxpayer. Some people seem to be getting them mixed up with Eton, Harrow and Winchester.

It’s clear that @uklabour.bsky.social needs to treat these scum as terrorists and make doxxing an imprisonable offence. The brave volunteers of the RNLI do a perilous enough job as it is. These thugs are being coordinated to cause terror on our streets. These are the people we really need to fear.

I have written to the Market Research Society and the British Polling Council asking them to launch a full investigation into the conduct of JL Partners, following the story covered on Channel 4 news. Full letter below.

I will post a full copy of the letter on my website later with link in follow up tweet as too many characters for here.

Sorry to hear that, Matt. Electrical storms have always triggered migraine headaches for me but I now get the added joys of vertigo in the days leading up to any severe weather lurking. Epilepsy is another level, though. Hope you’re okay now.

No, indeed. I’ve known many couples who have divorced. Not one of them has been because a partner was just too damn good as a person.

His claim about why his marriage ended is very telling. In his eyes, his ex-wife should have gratefully hailed him as her hero.

Ghent University has questions to answer about Nathan Cofnas. No decent institution or business would touch him with a barge pole. White supremacists don’t all wear pointy hoods, but he’s made his repugnant views patently clear.

It’s not a news channel in the accepted understanding of the word, is it? High time we made it illegal to misrepresent media output to the public.

I enjoy watching Sewing Bee, and think Sophie Willan is doing a cracking job as presenter. (If you disagree, that’s allowed, but I don’t need to know.) I just saw a snippet of an interview with her talking about her mum and it led me to this. What a woman! www.bigissuenorth.com/features/201...

It absolutely hasn’t. The whole pantomime has been an exercise in wasting taxpayers’ money, the very thing Reform pretends to care about. Count Binface is his own person, nothing to do with the so-called “Uniparty” (a silly word that makes anyone using it unironically look very immature).

Ah, you fall for Farage’s schtick so easily. That’s how grooming works - by targeting the easiest victims.

Polly @paperpolly.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Never forget that the people of Clacton didn’t choose Nigel Farage. The fact is that he chose them because he knew they were the easiest people in the country to con. Farage despises the people of Clacton. He thinks they’re oiks, which is why he doesn’t go there unless he wants their votes (again).

Just to be boring, having a damp (almost wet) towel or tea towel around your neck and spraying water on your face and whatever you’re wearing while sitting by a fan really helps.

This was the late seventies. It was predictably awful and not erotic in the least - the men performing naked quite clearly found it as sexy as we did! It was My sister and her friends thought it would be a hoot but they also found it deadly dull. I was fuming that they hadn’t listened to me! 😀

I’ve never had the desire to go to a strip club, either. However, my sister and her friend gave me two choices when I was 17: borrow five times the amount of money I allowed for a week’s food at work, or stand alone on the streets of Soho waiting for them while they went to Paul Raymond’s Revue Bar.

I’m probably older than you, but my older (10.5 and 9 years respectively) sisters were massive Beatle fans and I’ll be forever grateful to them that they brought everything Beatles into our house during my childhood. I’d also like to give a special mention to Rubber Soul.
