Me reading the news: No thank you
“And this week’s number two is Chas and Dave, ‘Ain’t No Pleasing You’, which means that still at number one, Bucks Fizz with ‘My Camera Never Lies’.”
Which is why we can’t have nice things.

"A compilation album!"

SPOTY for that run.

I’ve lost my thesaurus. I've lost it. It's lost.
Reminds a little of one of my favourite jokes on the other place from @lizbuckley.bsky.social where she said people laughed when she said she wanted to be a professional snooker player but they’re not laughing now because it was ages ago.
Yup.
Saw a discussion on line about Tottenham yesterday, in which a guy said his dear old Spurs loving Nan would be so ashamed if she saw them these days, but she hasn’t got Sky.
Actually, scrap that. I’d totally watch them.

Some people say you should separate the art from the artist but I’m not reading certain wizard books or watching certain irish comedies in the same way I wouldn’t watch Hitler presenting Match of the Day or Trump covering for Lorraine when she’s on holiday.
You’d have to pay me a lot of money to read the new Will Self. Even then I’d pretend. Nope. Not in this house.
Yeah, you and whose trousers?
I bet you are, you dirty chipmunk

The World Cup should be taken away from America. It won’t but it should.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
