Briefcase Michael

I block transphobes on sight just as I block racists and homophobes so don't waste your time with your bile, bigotry, nonsense and verbal abuse.🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

@AnnaMaliniak Whilst the film is probably designed to stand alone it's probably best to watch the three TV series (I still resist the American "season") first to understand the back-story.

@BriefcaseMike I must lead a sheltered life as I've never heard of it. Now of course I'll have to check it out. My eyes could do with a good rinse 😭 😂

On Friday the #Heartstopper movie launches on Netflix, the finale of the 'world-conquering cultural juggernaut' (Guardian) that is Alice Oseman's epic masterpiece. Some cried at every TV episode so be prepared. Whether I did so is between me and my tear ducts. 😭🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@Lomquiche @b8eak One of my great-aunts had one too or something similar. It wasn't until my aunt was in her eighties that my mother bought her an actual fridge.

@b8eak Think ind of my great aunts had one of those with a zinc lining.

Electricity prices rising again this month here’s a a spiffing way to save money stop using your old fridge and invest in a Kepkold frost box the model in this ad is under a *tenner,you’ll save pounds. *Be aware the ad’s from 1937 and if you can get one they may be a bit more.

@LynneBaines2 I forgot to say that he also got told off by the Speaker at one point for suggesting deliberate dishonesty by the Government which is against Commons rules. He used to be an A & E doctor. I wouldn't have wanted to encounter him.

@BriefcaseMike How awful, what is wrong with the man? Mind you as you say he is a Tory.

Tory front bencher Kieran Mullan has seriously misjudged the mood of the House in his ranting about the Hillsborough Law in stormy exchanges with Starmer, especially with Hillsborough families in the Gallery. Still the Nasty Party. #Commons #BBCNews #HillsboroughLaw

Both Lee Dixon AND Ally McCoist! That must surely be a breach of viewers' human rights. #FRAESP #itvsport

MPs currently wasting huge amounts of time voting multiple times on the "Hillsborough Law", same people who lecture others on productivity, all because they refuse to have fast electronic voting. That too should be on Burnham's agenda. #Commons #BBCNews

Lady Hallett found "no evidence of cronyism or corruption" in the awarding of PPE contracts during the pandemic. Of course she didn't. If there was a risk of her finding that she'd never have been given the job. #BBCNews #bbcpm #LBC

@jarrowmarching6 @slatsr3en Well said. O'Brien is an appalling judge of character and is really just a nepo-baby showbiz gossip hack who got lucky.

@slatsr3en @BriefcaseMike If he couldn't see what Johnson was before he came Mayor he must of been in hibernation, his latest pearler was backing Starmer because we'd have a man just getting on with the job with no scandals 🤣he continued down this path right up to the Mandelson scandal,he's Polly Toynbee

James O'Brien back on air today with his all too familiar repertoire of unpleasant scatological analogies. His producer should remind him he's no longer a little boy in the dorm at Ampleforth before he starts farting into the microphone. #LBC

@DanielB26463646 The rare occasions I catch him on the radio he still has a tendency to flare up with callers he disagrees with. Same is true of O'Brien who is calmer since his therapy but still has that in him.

@BriefcaseMike To be fair, he does appear to be far calmer these days, more conciliatory. It could be an act of course.

Iain Dale who got a police caution for physically attacking an elderly protester wrote a book called "Why Can't We All get Along?"! 😆#PoliticsLive

@Ceejay62Cj @vicderbyshire @BBCNewsnight @TiceRichard @BBCVickiYoung @LBC BBC politics programmes are a waste of time if presenters and guests are too lazy to be in possession of the most basic facts. So much for "the fight for truth" the BBC boast about in those silly promos. #PoliticsLive @BBCPolitics

@BriefcaseMike @vicderbyshire @BBCNewsnight also covered it last night & #Reform @TiceRichard brushed it aside ..said he wasn't aware..Vic did not challenge @BBCVickiYoung #Politicslive did the same & Tory IainDale of @lbc said he didn't know! Do your homework guys! FGS this is basic stuff!!

Why are Vicki Young and the people on the panel so ignorant about the security package that Farage was offered and refused? At the very least the presenter should have done her homework. It was covered in detail on #r4today this morning. #PoliticsLive

@Nigeblueboi Making things up is his M.O.

@BriefcaseMike Where is the expert assessment from Farage that it was insufficient or is he making it up.

Jenrick confirmed that Farage was offered a comprehensive and expensive security package, similar to that for the Opposition Leader, that included a car and driver and a bodyguard but didn't explain why Farage rejected that as insufficient. #r4today

@gm2112rush Interesting point. All his movements would be tracked.

@BriefcaseMike Not insufficient, the true extent of what dubious circles he moves in would be up for possible exposure

Nick Robinson and Anna Foster have been having one of their little chats about politics. How privileged we all are to be allowed to eavesdrop on their opinions! (That in essence has been the BBC's defence of this new feature). #r4today

Andy Burnham has just voted in favour of Shabana Mahmood's Immigration and Asylum Act, an Act opposed by 80 Labour MPs colleagues and slammed by refugee groups and Alf Dubs himself. It will make successful asylum seekers in this country more marginal and vulnerable. A pitiful capitulation to the moral panics of the far-right.

@WasOnceLoved @Nigel_Farage They're both charlatans and scumbags.

@BriefcaseMike @Nigel_Farage I think I have memorised every line. For me and many others it was why I started listening to OB.

@WasOnceLoved @Nigel_Farage Farage did go on the programme many years ago but the interview was terminated prematurely by his PR man when it was going badly for Farage.

@BriefcaseMike Can’t wait for @Nigel_Farage to take on JamesOB. The offer’s been there for years. Almost like Farage is terrified of accountability.
