It is GE time in UK...but... UK is still determined to be the new DDR of Europe.. "Gammon Curtain still descending" #BelarussianBrexit

It is extraordinary that the USA gets treated to a dismantling of the Tory party orders of magnitude better than the tame efforts anyone dares attempt here. (And no, it's not the swearing that makes the difference - it's the accuracy of the attacks.)

The incredibly right Joe Lycett is still the only good guest to go on Laura Kuenssberg's show. He nearly got her fired, and she hates being reminded of it, so don't RT. #bbclaurak

Looking back on 14 years of the Tories is like looking back at the traumatising post-vindaloo shit you just did in the toilet.

They partied , they bet on elections , they crashed the economy, they broke every public service, they destroyed integrity and honesty in public office , they paid their mates billions , they put their friends in the House of Lords, they gave their cronies knighthoods, they went

Don’t forget what they have done. Partygate, the Covid contracts, the lies, the kickbacks. The cronyism, the failure to invest, the division and scapegoating, the trips to the bookies, the Liz Truss mini-budget, the decimation of your public services. Don’t forget any of it. 🧾

We didn't have parties to "boost morale". We didn't have quiz nights. We didn't have champagne. We watched our colleagues die. We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands. These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office. Use your vote. Vote.

The future is going to be tough, unpleasant and worse, so please let’s at least have one night of fun and make as many high profile Tories lose their seats as possible.

Bloody hell, a cabinet made up of serious, capable, professional people who also possess human empathy. We haven’t had one of those for years. Our best are back in power.

An actual scientist for Minister of Science?! It feels as though our nation has just gone up an evolutionary jump. 🙌

Doesn't it feel good to have grown ups back in charge?

Not all politicians are the same. We’ve bagged a good one here. After the last several years this is pure poetry.

Tim Farron: "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" Absolutely brilliant 👇

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location

Still one of the greatest TV performances from any band ever

Released on this day in 1995. One of the greatest singles of the era (or any era!). This version on Jools is one of all time great live television performances. A track synonymous with our events. McAlmont & Butler - Yes (Live on Jools Holland, 1995)
