I just listened to this segment. Sad as it is to hear that about any family as upset as they are, there was something deeply strange about it - and about the prominence it got

Reading this after watching Aftersun is almost too much

Was that Nick Robinson talking about bullying before moving onto what he called “but a much more important story” about wood burners? Can these people even hear themselves? #r4today

Shocked to hear a source say that when landlords talk about 'ritual bathing' in the context of damp, it's a reference to Muslim families washing hands, face and feet before prayers. If that is the case, it's about the most ignorant, xenophobic and disguting thing I've ever heard

Hey arseblog - loved the intro montage yesterday. I recently realised I’ll be in Barcelona for the Man City away game. Have you got any recommendations for Gooner friendly bars to watch it in?

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?" "Problem with Arsenal is they always try and walk it in"

My letter in ⁦The Times and The Sunday Times⁩ today, following the news that the Govt plans to replace the Vagrancy Act with news powers to tackle ‘nuisance’ begging.

In my day they just said "right place, right time"

Here we go....

When I joined policy discourse twitter, I was not prepared for the extent to which all the commenterati/bestselling non-fiction book authors simply copy all their opinions directly from more original people in their networks

72 months, 72 victims, no prosecutions How many more anniversaries before justice?

Amidst all this, you gotta love how the UK version of “you won’t take our guns” is “you won’t make me divide my recycling into more than 3 bins” God bless us

Very well put. You cannot compare the creation of a Jewish state with the Raj or Algeria - and pointing that out does not mean you legitimise the actions of the Israeli govt in any way. This 'for' or 'against' narrative is destructive. Literally

Perhaps BBC News (UK) might like to include some ideas on how to alleviate a housing affordability crisis that is affecting the life chances of millions instead of a cut out and keep guide on how to fuck over other renters bbc.co.uk/news/business-… PricedOut Anya Martin

Assuming Prince can't be on this list as it's restricted to Earthlings?

Looking around at the sudden outbreak of public awareness and political engagement for the post office scandal and wondering if and when this will happen for Grenfell and the building safety crisis

It’s really an indictment of the political and media class that the only thing that has got them interested in one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in UK history is that someone made a TV drama about it

Entirely anecdotal and science-free observation, but I know A LOT of people who have left London since the last mayoral election (myself included). Most of these people will have done so partly for economic reasons and are Labour voters. I wonder if this could be a factor

Been at the Met Police briefing on Grenfell investigation: - Charging files will not go to prosecutors until 2026 - Decision on charges not until end of 2026 - Trials will not start for at least six months after that Will be over a decade after fire before anyone is in court
