Lewis Goodall explains students’ situation better than anyone I’ve seen on this episode - as a first gen UK student from a “poorer” background it’s refreshing to hear about issues so often overlooked especially the point on the difference on loans repayment

Jeez. At tonight’s press conference not a single journalist pointed out to the Prime Minister the skyrocketing rise in small boat crossings is in large part a consequence of the Brexit deal championed by both him & the Home Secretary! WHY NOT? RT if you think they should have

Great work at the Beeb. Screwing over Attenborough and Lineker in one day. Absolutely top class. Next kill Santa Clause.

I have informed the BBC that I am very much available for tomorrow’s #MOTD

This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker #ImWithGary #MOTD #ToryFascists

This clip of Gary Lineker from 2021 feels relevant to where we are now. He outlines his interest in 'refugee issues', how he considers himself a freelancer, how Tim Davie's never called to say 'you can't tweet that' - and that he doesn't think 'they could do that anyway'.

What the hell is happening? Do I need to get on a plane and come over there? WTF?!

Excellent speech by SNP's Stewart McDonald to save us all. "The provisions on detention, if anyone bothered to read them, are absolutely outrageous. [Bob Neill] mentioned habeus corpus. That's a prehistoric relic & we shouldn't be left to rely on it to secure someone's freedom."

Great talk tonight in Cardiff Ian Dunt - I think everyone in the room will be relieved I managed to resist asking a comics based question… it seemed a little too off-piste! Perhaps next time you’re in town…

Oh you’re waiting for Succession? The cool kids are inhaling this two part Origin Story on Churchill from Dorian Lynskey and Ian Dunt. Very happy to be an Apple subscriber. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ori…

Ben Elton’s excoriating criticism of Rishi Sunak: “I sort of believed maybe he’s kind of a bit more decent, you know, and it’s turns out he’s as much of a mendacious, narcissistic sociopath as his previous boss…” #bbclaurak

I'm not an economist, and I tend not to write on economics for fear of missing the obvious and sounding a moron. (No, doesn't stop me in other fields, etc.) But help me out, because this has been bothering me for a few months.  (1/?)

My column on the MCC yobs, and self-styled political Bazballer Rishi Sunak theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Wait. What? Surely you have to *leave* the EU to do that.

Preach!

Whoever’s fault it is that it’s still Wednesday and not Thursday… have a word with yourself!

I mean, let's be honest. We've kinda missed this over the summer. One day back and these people have shat themselves into oblivion.
