I now have three things in common with George Orwell: we both had formative experiences in Wigan, romantic liaisons in Spain (granted his was the civil war), and we're the only writers in the world with covers by the brilliant @byheathkane.

@jk_rowling Mongrel of the Glen!

Such a poser 🤍

@sicunninghamBD Initial concept boards…

@meadwaj Well vitals it wasn’t golden or stable or there’d have been no crash.

Strange to still see 50s-70s referred to as a Golden Age for capitalism. As a global system the real Golden Age were the 2000s before the crash. Just a magnificent sweet spot of sufficiently high growth, falling prices, and ecological stability. All gone now.

@Thelma_DWalker It’s all to play for. The question isn’t “do we need a new party?”, it’s do we have a compelling alternative with mass appeal? Cometh the hour…

I really hope I’m wrong, but can’t help feeling that Starmer and Badenoch are caretaker leaders paving the way for a full -on fascist leader.

@jk_rowling Thorough … it can end up so many places

Just typed 'manoeuvre' correctly on the first attempt, without even thinking about it. There are no worlds left to conquer.

@AnthonyTeasdale You were going to the wrong clubs

Clubbing in the 80s (pre rave): Dress like Rick Astley. Holsten Pils hangovers. Getting stared out by a man in a Next blazer. Realising by 12:30 you won't cop off. Getting punched in the chippy. Having to wear fucking brogues. Defo not a "vibe".

@jk_rowling It might lead to “dynamic book pricing”… youtube.com/watch?v=35EUin…

Lots of suggestions coming in. Probably won’t be trying meth, but I appreciate your helpfulness.

I need a drug with no side effects that will keep me awake five nights in a row while my brain’s on fire and the writing is flowing. Curse this human need for sleep.

@calvinrobinson I didn’t notice Jesus f***ing off when the going got tough padre. Helping out is literally your job.

Some personal news: It is with a heavy heart that I announce I am leaving the United Kingdom. Starmer's dark Satanic Mills are not for me. But I will be back. For now, it is time to regroup. I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.

Perhaps others will disagree with me, but I don't think you can only respond to these race riots with crackdowns on the far-right. Poverty, underfunded councils, lack of opportunity and hopelessness *does* contribute to whether disaffected locals will be swept up by organised agitators.

@AyoCaesar V well said. Smart joined up thinking.

@AnnabelleF22939 @Thelma_DWalker @loafersvinyl ⬆️

@AnnabelleF22939 @Thelma_DWalker Runner up. Good heft. Local as well @Thelma_DWalker innit..,

Linked to nothing at all; what for you is the perfect coffee mug?

@Thelma_DWalker This is long term tested. A good coffee cup is all about about balance.

@Neil_Gibb I may have to fight you over this 😂 I will reveal my winner when I have all responses in 😉

@morellifit No one in Europe is obese. It’s just broccoli, red wine and chatting across the whole continent. It helps they all speak European.

Europeans can be in amazing shape & live to 100+ while: • Eating carbs 24/7 • Rarely going to the gym • Drinking alcohol every day But when Americans do it? They become obese & get sick. It took some time... But I think I found what EXACTLY is going on: 🧵

@Cougarmania Deep breath everyone. At this rate the club will implode and I’m guessing there isn’t a long list of suitors. It is what it is. Let’s focus on the club getting better from here. Last thing we want to see is a Lidl on Cougar Park!

Owner response to the news Matt Foster has left as Head Coach READ > buff.ly/3Li2rek

@ConnectWise Someone has seen up a fake connectwise account in my name and is scamming people. Your tech support aren’t answering me. How do we fix this?

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and memorable 4th of July celebration! 🎇✨ #HappyIndependenceDay #CelebrateFreedom #innovation #progress #4thofJuly

22/n Until the broader left starts also placing immediate demands at the centre of what it argues for, it will continue to lose out. So if eg energy prices surge again, the response is not first “build more wind farms” but first “cap prices”…

7/n …On the day the Sunak launched election promising “brighter days ahead”, govt launched its Prepare website to prepare population for future of shocks and disruptions. Perfect example of utter fantasyland campaign has been conducted in…

@Frances_Coppola @Loumac60 @faizashaheen Classy

@Loumac60 @faizashaheen What a bitch you are.

Some parents just told me in my baby sensory class that the Labour Party told them that they shouldn’t vote for me because I wasn’t blocked from standing because of liking a few tweets, but for more serious reasons. I’ve heard this several times now. This is a vicious lie. I’m publishing the email I received from the Labour Party about this decision so everyone can see the truth, including: 1. That the media knew before I did 2. That these was nothing else, so the decision was made on extremely flimsy grounds. They also said I was still a member. 3. That their duty of care for me extended to a link to mental health resources. Please do push back on the lies being told!
