Remember, clocks go back tonight. If you're a Tory, back to 1953. If you're Reform, back to 1932. If you're Jacob Rees-Mogg, back to 1741. And if you're Nigel Farage, you just demand that 'Clocks Should Go Back Where They Came From."

“News coming in that Keir Starmer has left the toilet seat up in 10 Downing Street. As you will be aware, this is a house he shares with his wife.”

The world is in turmoil as is the US, the middle east has been decimated Russia/Ukraine war has been dreadful, Global warming is going beyond return, but hey UK journalists say "What does Starmer mean by working people? Just in case the wealthy will have to pay a bit more tax!

BREAKING 🚨 | Conservative and Reform MPs have just voted AGAINST the Employment Rights Bill. They've voted to stand on the side of exploitation, zero-hours contracts and fire and rehire. True colours.

In Parliament tonight, all the Reform MPs voted AGAINST giving workers extra job security and better rights after being kicked around by bad bosses for far too long. Remember that when they pretend to be the voice of ordinary workers.

"As they play, young children engage in mathematics. Researchers estimate that children ‘engage in mathematical thinking at least once in almost half of each minute they are playing’." Ofsted 2024 Someone should tell bods on Edutwitter who think that play is a waste of time.

Musical snobbery of the worst kind. She’s a very fine songwriter.
This person thinks he loves opera, but is precisely the kind of smug, self-delighted dimwit doing it the most harm. I went to the Eras tour AND Glyndebourne this year and they were both fucking amazing. It’s not a fucking competition, you tedious snob. Opera and Swift for all!

I know this is a tiny thing, but in the panel introduction, Fiona Bruce referred to two former prime ministers as "Blair and Brown", and two others as "David Cameron and Theresa May". I find the difference in respect telling. #bbcqt

This is Lord Rothermere the Daily Mail Owner. He lives in a mansion in Monaco, he pays tax in France and identifies as French The Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and it pays no tax anywhere Why is he moaning about the England manager, shouldn't he be concerned with France?

As a society we have a responsibility to do more than ‘keep’ children in education by threatening them with sanctions. Instead our task is to develop a more inclusive, therapeutic approach which engages their imagination and so creates in them an insatiable appetite for learning.

I would imagine a universal experience.
We need to talk about toilet roll dispensers in public loos. There’s the one where the loo roll is trapped in a a circular prison and no matter how many times you spin it, you never get an end you can pull to get started.

Upset that Starmer met Taylor Swift, you say. Any other PM-celebrity meetings you take offence at?
