One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Hello, in the interest of giving really talented young musicians a boost (and also because it’s a genuinely gorgeous song), Taylor Mitchell’s debut single is out on Friday 28th and you can pre-order/save here. She’d love it to be shared widely, thanks in advance. ffm.to/tell-me-all-...

Perhaps we ought to take a moment to reflect on how many white male cishet privately educated non disabled men have been given jobs and promoted without question based on fabricated CVs, unfounded self-confidence and an embellished life story & whether we’ve even heard of them.

I know it’s practically blasphemy to say so, but society should not require everyone to work. Some people can’t. Some people shouldn’t. Some people contribute more by *not* working than they would by working. Work isn’t that important.

Look, I don't think this is difficult, but apparently it needs to be said? If you do not like the casting of a film, don't see the film. The person making the film DOES like it, and has every right to make it, and the people who agree with them have every right to go see it. Just shut up.

Appointing Wes Streeting as the next leader of the Labour Party would be as popular as appointing Jose Mourinho as the next Liverpool manager. For non-football people, they are both total cunts that good people will never love.

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

Yes, the media holds Labour to higher standards than the Tories and Reform. So do I. I expect higher standards from Labour. That should be part of the main point of Labour. We expect Tories to be self-serving, corrupt and nasty. We expect Reform to be bigots and racists. Labour, not so much.

One of the things that enrages me about Labour’s approach is the reality that immigration hysteria is *entirely manufactured* Farage has used it to flog every con and it’s been in the tabloids, daily, for ten years. To the point that now even some Labour voters defend it. It’s fucking MADE UP.
