Pet peeve: when archers are ordered to "fire" in a period film. Before gunpowder, that term made no sense.
Hey @Ed_Miliband retired mine worker here, well done for MPS can we be treated equally (BCSSS member)
The government should not be in the business of profiting from the Mineworkers Pension Scheme.
There has been deep unfairness and injustice in the Conservative Government's approach.
Labour will make sure miners get their fair share of the money.

I've fact-checked the claims that Jeremy Corbyn is "pro-Putin". It turns out that no politician has been more consistent or more prescient about Putin than Corbyn. When he warned about Russian donor money he was mocked. My new column for Middle East Eye:

I still think Thatcher set the rot in & destroyed Britain - she made it ok to be selfish, corrupt, look after number one, loadsa money, I’m all right Jack. She made Tice/Farage/Lowe possible. And they are the lowest of the low.

This is weird. According to the Mail, Express and others I was part of a controversial episode of Saturday Kitchen. Except I wasn't (though the listings wrongly said I was). Is it possible the people who wrote these stories didn't actually watch the show?

The platypus is possibly the weirdest animal: it's a mammal but lays eggs, its duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed and venomous. It has electroreceptors for locating prey, eyes with double cones, no stomach, and 26 pairs of chromosomes. It's fluorescent and glows under UV light.
