Luxury cars? Taxpayer freebies? The reality of Motability is very different. I’ve written about why the scheme is a lifeline, not a perk. 👉 thefriendlytimes.co.uk/2025/09/motabi…

Hard to believe it’s been 59 years since The Monkees first aired on September 12, 1966. We were just four kids with guitars and energy, and the world watched us. Grateful for the memories and your support in keeping our spirit alive. Here’s to more! #TheMonkees #TVHistory

Our national broadcaster should be reflective the whole country, not a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage. The BBC must provide fair, balanced and representative journalism.

ALASTAIR CAMPBELL The The Telegraph Daily Mail and The Times and The Sunday Times are now indistinguishable. All just nasty, tabloid rags focused on sensation, scandal and hate. The real worry is how broadcast media BBC News (UK) Sky News @ITVNews allow the press to set their agenda.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

On 24 August 1940, during the Battle of Britain, Polish ace Antoni Głowacki achieved the extraordinary feat of shooting down five German aircraft in a single day. He was the only Polish pilot to do so, setting a record that stood until the battle’s end. Lest we forget. 🌺

Fabulous visit to the Google #Accessibility Discovery Centre in King's X. Thanks to people like Chris Patnoe, the future for Access accessibility looks very bright. Good to explore areas of interest between Google and at Aerobility in company with our CEO, Mike Miller-Smith

This is not good. Likely to be a false economy as well as utterly frustrating. #AccessToWork #Disability bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I love that the Orange Idiot thinks he's the first US president to be hosted Windsor Castle. The rest of us remember that the Obamas were received there by the then Queen and Prince Philip in April 2016.

Yes Neil Kinnock is right. A commitment to rejoin would bring an end to the disastrous Johnson-Truss years and also help to send the WhingeUK party into the dustbin of history

Why did the BBC broadcast Nigel Farage uninterrupted for 56 minutes this morning? Nobody wants this, he has 4 seats, does any other party gets this coverage? The biased people at the BBC putting Nigel Farage on day after day need to be removed.
