@jondelarroz On an effort to results basis, it’s still Colin. Whatshisface didn’t even try.

Who was the worst Doctor of all time?

@benonwine Where there’s a wheel there’s a way

First THOUGHT that comes to mind when you see this?

"Life expectancy has doubled since 1900, so clearly modern food is working." Yes. Brilliant point. Absolutely watertight. Tell me, when you picture a Victorian dying at thirty-eight, what do you think killed him? Was it the butter on his bread? Was it the lard in the pan? Was it the grass-fed mutton? The eggs from the yard? The unpasteurised milk straight from the cow he could see from the kitchen window? Or was it cholera, tuberculosis, dysentery, smallpox, sepsis from a splinter, childbirth in a room with no soap, a boiler explosion, a coal mine, a war, a workhouse, and the entirely reasonable medical practice of being bled by a man with a leech? We did not extend life expectancy by replacing his lard with sunflower oil. We extended it by inventing the toilet, the antibiotic, and the idea that surgeons might wash their hands occasionally. The margarine is doing nothing. The margarine is, if anything, slightly working against the project. The plumbing did the heavy lifting. Give the plumber a statue.

@PeterTatchell @MothinAli Zack was passing Mothin Ali on a narrow roof and didn’t know wether to make way or just toss himself off

What are Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali's policies LGBT+ issues? During his campaign in 2025 for the deputy leadership, Ali declined to express support for LGBT+ rights To clear the air, @MothinAli needs to make a public statement asap thepinknews.com/2026/05/01/gre…

@DreyfusJames @Glinner Nice story. Most sane people know he’s not and has never been a Cnut.

In 1994, I was playing a part in @Glinner ‘s sitcom, “Paris”, an OTT satire on the Paris art/philosophical scene, playing Belunaire, a rotter. I was a young actor, 4 years out of RADA, & Graham was so kind to me. I’ve never forgotten the way he made me feel 100% a part of it.

@EdwardJDavey As opposed to your divisive brand of bile, greed, fingers in ears and whataboutery

British democracy is under greater threat than at any point in my lifetime. Trump, Musk and Putin are trying to destroy it from outside, while Farage and Reform are doing their best to import Trump’s divisive brand of MAGA politics here.

What an extraordinary life I get to live. Got on the tube yesterday and sat next to a very colourful, fabulous man called Danny, Danny the bass player to be precise. Great chat and just as I’ve leaving he pulls up his sleeve and shows me this. You’re a legend Danny Sapko @DannySapkoBass

@JamesHeartfield And with the appropriate Notting Hill postcode

The British far right in the 1970s … indistinguishable from the British far left today

@TRLibDems It’s an eyesore and dirt lines are already appearing on the tiles. It looks like an 80’s leisure centre. All Richmond ever wanted was its ice rinxb back.

The Lib Dems are investing in Ham’s future. A new community centre. A sports hall. A home for the TAG Youth Club. The Hive in Ham is delivering real opportunities for young people and the local community in Richmond. #LibDems #CommunityFirst #Ham #YoungPeople

@BurnsideWasTosh He does want to shut that door

When the country needed Thatcher it got Larry Grayson.

@packetsniffer99 @JohnHann04 @im_man_magic Methinks you’re Russian to conclusions

@CBlighty @JohnHann04 @im_man_magic Of course he’s never met them.

Old Bailey, 10:30am, the trial of the 3 Ukranian young men who allegedly committed arson against Keir Starmers home and vehicle starts. But you probably wouldn’t know if you were listening to the radio or tv news. Why? Why has it been so silent on what after all, should be a massive story. Why did they do it? What was their motive? How did they know how to locate a home and a car associated with the Prime Minister? We support Ukraine so what provoked their anger? And will the gallery genuinely be open for people to report. Will they be “persuaded” to plead guilty which prevents a trial taking place. So many questions….and the mainstream press are asking none of them🤷‍♂️

@packetsniffer99 @JohnHann04 @im_man_magic Are you saying Kier had never met them before?’

@JohnHann04 @im_man_magic The media is not allowed to report on cases in between suspects being charged and the trial. This is the same for all cases. Once the trial starts it will be reported on. Stop being daft. Btw these men were paid or blackmailed by the Russians to do this.

@FlyFifer10 That’s some sloppy AI shit right there. Ruining the internet.

Dandelion and Burdock, Cream Soda, Pineapple, Coke etc, what was your favourite flavour? You had to return the crate with your empty bottles too, happy days

@GoneToAcapulco @SahajL Google ‘sahaja yoga cult’.

@CBlighty @SahajL Why apocalyptic?

"What is #yoga? In simple words, it is taking your attention to the Spirit. This is yoga." #ShriMataji shrimataji.org #meditation

@EdwardJDavey Why are you on it?

Foreign tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg should be paying more tax to tackle the harm their social media companies are doing, not getting a tax cut for backing Trump.

@WHLeavitt Buying missiles from America does not qualify as ‘massive help’. British troops alone fought Argentina and defeated them.

In 1982, Britain defeated Argentina in the Falklands War with massive U.S. help. Today, the UK’s navy is weak. Argentina’s President Milei has allegedly asked Trump not to support the UK as he reclaims the Falklands after US left NATO. Do you stand with Milei? A. Yes B. No

@Never_Again2020 The real world and Hannah Spencer are complete strangers.

Green Party MP Hannah Spencer objects to MPs having a drink, but her party wants to legalise heroin and crack cocaine.
