whenever Elon Musk tweets about UK politics I think of this

Those claiming ‘two tier policing’ accusations of rioters, seem very quiet about this.

Celebrity Watch, and Nigel Farage - off to the USA AGAIN this week, I see - has gone Full Louis XIV. "Clacton, c'est moi." thetimes.com/life-style/cel…

Paul McCartney is the best man ever.

Incredible eavesdrop just now: ‘…but then I saw Birds Of A Feather and it changed everything for me.’ It’s as close as I’ve come to chasing a stranger down and asking for closure.

I interviewed Jess Phillips, who I think is an excellent human being, about violence against women and girls, that Election Night, and how Joe Lycett told her she'd won: thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

There's no excuse for arena / stadium artists and their teams not doing this.

Just raking a tiger. so normal

The dog waiting until the very end to join the sexy line-up, then lick it's anus, is the cherry on the cake.

Love shit like this now #DadLife

David Quantick Petition to stop newspapers defining women they’re reporting on as ‘mum’ or ‘Nan’. As neither, I would prefer ‘wizened old mentalist’ as my moniker when I finally lose it in the queue at the Post Office , strip down to my pants and threaten to seize the means of production.
