Personally I don’t have a problem with Reform lecturing people about what racism is. I’ve always been of the opinion that if you’re looking for proper expertise in racism, they’ve been doing it longer and better than most.

I think it's pretty fair that a theocracy should be headed by someone who no-one's seen and who may not even exist.

The French word for “retirement” is “la retraite”. The Spanish word is “la jubilación”. It feels like this is a pretty good insight into the collective psyche of both countries..

Day 1 at Casa Verde. Sophie is installing mosqueteras to keep the bugs out which the geckoes don’t catch. I’m sawing my way through the redundant roof beams in the lounge. Just paused for a cold beer and this is the view from the terrace. It’s a very manageable 34C (the weather not the beer..) 😁

We had 1600 people turn up at yesterday's Knights' Tournament at Kenilworth Castle - that's twice as many as the total number of right-wing nutters *nationwide* who turned out yesterday to protest outside hotels allegedly containing asylum seekers. Just sayin'..

7% of the population are privately educated. 93% of the population are state-educated. On that basis, surely the fairest and most representative way to regulate civil service internships is for the annual intake to be based proportionally on this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Civil service interns must all be working class, government says
Internships will only go to students from poorer families in a push to make Whitehall more working class.

The statue inspired the heroic statue of St Christopher in The Children of Green Knowe, which saved the day in the end by electrocuting a demonic tree called Green Noah. They don’t make kids TV like that nowadays, eh? Not since the woke BBC banned its staff from dropping acid during work hours..

Take 8 minutes and watch. It's the best summation I've seen of where the events of the last week leave us. The world of 2016 has vanished, we can no longer amuse ourselves with abstractions about "sovereignty" and "Global Britain". We need to strengthen ties with Europe. It's the only game in town..

The fundamental problem with this situation (and it’s not going to go away) is that navigating a way through it is entirely about sparing the feelings of someone who’s a) an utterly incompetent egomaniac and b) a simpleton. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I voted for them in 2024, but Labour have lost me for the next election. Refusing youth mobility; chasing a Reform vote that's never going to vote for them no matter how performatively nasty they are and now siding with the US over AI regulation. I can't support or justify this. They're a disgrace.

The problem with this analysis is that Trump, while being supremely self-confident is also demonstrably full of shit - and anyone vaguely sensible knows this. Boris Johnson tried this approach and that's largely why we're in the mess we're in now. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Midwinter Revels section of our #christmas tour is now put to bed for this year - here's a photo of us at Leicester Guildhall last Sunday. But no rest for the wicked - it's now full steam ahead for our four-piece expanded line-up Gaudete!
Chris and Sophie are standing on a stage in a timber-framed medieval hall. Chris is playing a mandocello (large guitar-like instrument) and Sophie is playing bagpipes. They're looking at each other and smiling.

Most streaming platforms pay a derisory amount to artists - it would take 5000 plays on Spotify to make the equivalent of a single CD sale. The sole exception to this is Bandcamp - and today is #bandcampfriday! Everything you spend with them today goes directly to us. greenmatthews.bandcamp.com

I've been thinking about doing this for a while and this morning I took the plunge and ponied up my £5 a month. My reason for doing so is that the EU, for all its flaws, is now the only global entity that mostly stands for progressive politics. www.europeanmovement.co.uk/membership

3/3 It is therefore incumbent on any who would attend one of the remaining spectacles to purchase their billet of entry with the utmost haste and alacrity in order to evade the inevitable sense of disappointment and regret that such on omission would evoke.

2/3 GreenMatthews advise that several of their incipient festive appearances at cultural emporia are in the propinquity of being in a state of plenitude and indeed that a majority of these are already unable to accommodate further auditors.

An impeccably argued article from @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social in favour of youth mobility with the EU. Starmer has no reason to refuse other than worrying a tiny/bonkers % of the electorate. If Labour don't sort this , they can kiss goodbye to my vote next time. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The PM seems to think embracing youth mobility would make him look soft on migration. Perhaps he should grow a backbone, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams
