1/ The modern world is weird.
We have the most advanced technology in human history…
and millions of people are still burned out, broke, anxious, and doom-scrolling at 2am.
Something clearly went wrong.

Here’s the truth about social media.
It didn’t connect society. It monetised our attention, weaponised our insecurities and turned us against each other.
We’re watching society rot in real time and scrolling past it for entertainment.
And we call it progress.

“Energy bills will jump 25% in January” no, they won’t. Not yet.
Ofgem hasn’t even set the January price cap. That happens on 25 November, and current forecasts vary wildly.
A possible rise ≠ a confirmed 25% hike. Facts first, headlines second.

Travel taught me: stop borrowing other people’s opinions. Not every influencer’s experience is your reality. A lot of what you see online is 🐂💩. Go see it yourself. Travel with your own eyes. 🌍 #travel

I don’t think she should be putting this on social media. She should be reporting this to the manager of her floor and following hospital protocols . there’s a system that nurses use to report issues like this and it’s not to post things so she get clicks!

The truth? The internet’s a digital Wild West for kids. This platform’s a perfect example.
As a dad, I worry about my children growing up using social media.
Keir Starmer? Spot on, fighting for British families. ✅
Right wing grifters? Too terrified to challenge tech bros. ❌
I know parents are worried about social media and its impact on their children’s safety. They rightly expect fast action.
Today, I’m calling on senior leaders from X, Meta, Snap, YouTube and TikTok to step up.
I will do whatever it takes to keep children safe online.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Current and proposed legislation to "keep children safe online" is based overwhelmingly off:
-ID/Face scans
-Censorship of Legal content
-Restriction of encryption & legitimate tools like VPNs
All three undermine civil liberties. The UN and others condemn current policies.

The ageism on social media is wild! Most recently, a young woman saying that men aged 40 or above shouldn’t go to live music events because it’s ’weird’.
Really? Go fuck yourself. People, whatever their age, can enjoy whatever music they want to. And I’ll say nothing about the young folk prancing about in their Nirvana t-shirts who can’t name the bass player or name more than two songs off ‘Nevermind’.

8 lines every flag-shagging plastic “patriot” has in their playbook
1.“I want my country back” - From what? You voted for the party that ran it for 14 years.
2.“Our grandads didn’t fight for this” - Your grandads would be ashamed that you can’t find Normandy on a map. They fought with Poles, Sikhs, Gurkhas, and West Indians beside them. They’d have more in common with the immigrants you hate than plastic patriots sharing memes about them.
3.“This isn’t the Britain I grew up in” - Correct. It has lower crime, longer life expectancy, and better healthcare than the 1970s you’re romanticising. You just don’t remember the power cuts and three-day weeks.
4.“Britain is broken” - The most unpatriotic sentence in the English language, repeated daily by people say they love their country.
5. “We’re full” - The Netherlands has twice the population density and somehow manages. The UK is not full. It’s just had 14 years of no housebuilding and you need someone darker than you to blame for it.
6.“We look after our own first” - You vote for parties that cut disability benefits, froze nurses’ pay, gave tax breaks to the rich and closed Sure Start centres. You don’t look after anyone.
7.“Stop the boats” - The Tories spent £700 million on Rwanda to deport four people. Zero boats were stopped. You cheered anyway.
8.“Starmer is a traitor” - The man prosecuted terrorists, paedophile rings, and war criminals as DPP. You import American culture war propaganda from people who openly despise our allies, trash your own country 24/7, and follow convicted fraudsters who lied about where they were born. The only ones treacherously trashing Britain’s reputation daily are you.

🚆 On the commuter train to London this morning…
I hope you can all hear me in the video 😅 I’m currently heading up to London where I’ll be working all week.
Before I left the house, I was watching the news and saw a piece about the astronauts currently orbiting the moon. Apparently, someone sent them a message saying:
“Enjoy the ride. Don’t forget to look out the window.”
Wow… what brilliant advice.
Honestly, I think that’s just fantastic. And it really hit me.
I’ve always tried to live my life as positively as possible. Negativity is such a draining emotion — it pulls everything down with it.
I wake up every day with jazz hands (yes, really 😂) and try to grab every opportunity that comes my way.
People often say “you only live once”…
I disagree.
You only die once — you live every single day.
Yes, there’s a lot of doom and gloom out there… but there’s also so much good, so much opportunity, so much to be grateful for.
So enjoy the ride… and don’t forget to look out the window. 🩵

Old School garage will forever be the absolute bollocks. So glad I grew up listening to that

Thatcher destroyed communities. Cameron broke the country in half. Johnson partied while people died alone. But sure, Starmer’s the divisive one.
