It took a visit to US Congress to remind us just how lily-livered our media is when it comes to holding Nigel Farage to account…

Daily Mail say today we need Farage and Reform to save the country. A reminder of the role the Mail played in getting us into this mess.

"In our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one's work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it."

Finally put up my favourite cartoon of all time.
I may be biased & yeah, I do think satire is when a car has been parked in a particularly comfortable position, but I honestly think this is one of the greatest & most beautiful pieces of social commentary ever.

“We’re going to do the Environment Agency’s job for it."
@NickFerrariLBC has challenged @Feargal_Sharkey to test the toxicity of England’s rivers.
First up is the River Avon in Bristol…

Paul Heaton is the most amazing musical performer Britain has ever had.
You can watch him gig for £35 and most of the songs you’ll recognise from your childhood, or parents song list.
He went 30 years without a music award, played NHS gigs for free & gave money to 40 “Q Magazine” Staff when they lost their jobs.
Have a listen to his music today - your soul will thank you later. [@PaulHeatonSolo]

“When civil disobedience is punished more severely than racist rioting, something has gone badly wrong” - spot on from @GeorgeMonbiot👇 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

The Media talk about the 15% pay increase Train Drivers got over 3 years, and demand to know where it comes from.
But not the 38% pay increase Bankers on £500,000+ got in one year.
And BTW you pay for that too, in mortgage/rent payments.

Please RT after voting - thank you.
74%No they never will
26%Maybe when it's too late

Watching the far right set fire to the newly reopened Spellow Hub library in Liverpool should be lesson enough on how much these thugs really care about “communities” and “young children.” Let none of these thugs pretend they are motivated by anything other than racism and hate.

The lengthy sentences on the 'Just Stop Oil' protestors are grotesquely disproportionate. As for the judge forbidding them to explain why they were protesting, it looks. like fascism. I deplore it.

“I’ve never known such anger or so many people who’ve said they’re willing to vote for a party that they wouldn’t usually pick as first choice (be that Labour or Lib Dems or Greens) in order to vote out a Conservative” @carolvorders

Hugh Grant said this before the 2019 election, but it's still true today.
"Everywhere, in the country, where a Tory can be beaten, he has to be beaten... as the country is facing an emergency."

This has gone a bit mad which is amazing! I will reply to everyone I promise. Could you retweet some replies to share the love for ancient sites that's out there and maybe help us over the elusive #10k followers. We have been bubbling under for what seems like months...
🗳️UK folks ✍🏽 reply / tweet us with the name of a general election constituency and I'll tell you the 'top' (most popular) ancient site from our database in that constituency. You know you want to know this... #GeneralElection #GeneralElection2024 #GE2024 More 1/

Tory MP Philip Davies put a £8k bet on himself to lose. This is what we found when we dug into his and his wife Esther McVey’s finances

Did you know? If the Earth were crushed to make a black hole, it’d be about the size of a peanut. I’m giving away 5 signed copies of my new book A CRACK IN EVERYTHING to a UK person chosen at random from those retweeting this. amazon.co.uk/Crack-Everythin… @FelicityBryan @HoZ_Books
