British.

in 1912, a russian animator used real dead insects as live puppets in a stop-motion film. it’s a story about a married beetle who cheats on his wife with a dragonfly, only to discover his wife also cheating on him with another beetle. it’s still funny over 100 years later

A convicted criminal pardoned by Donald Trump is quietly funding a far-right network five minutes from Parliament. This is what the British far right looks like when nobody is watching. #ReformWatch #BenDelo #Politics

@PhilWaite7 That's not the news anyone wants. So sorry, Phil.

Cancer Update - it has progressed significantly to many parts of my body. I need some radiotherapy to a tumour pressing on my spine, and have been prescribed morphine. I’m also being referred to the hospice support team. None of it a surprise really but still a lot to process.

@PhilWaite7 Sorry to hear about so much pain and hope you the appt goes well.

Onco appointment this morning when we find out the results of bone scan/CT scan. Pains throughout my body are getting worse. Strong painkillers help. More later. Take care all.

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached. Let’s make sure it goes viral here.

Peter Dinklage conveys one of the simplest yet most impactful messages ever.

We're teaming up with @MichaelJFoxOrg for a major £1.7 million partnership! Introducing the Parkinson’s Clinical Cohorts Collaborative (PC3) – creating a powerful dataset from over 20,000 people to better understand Parkinson’s. Read the full story: prksn.uk/40uco02

The reality of Reform. Word is that unelected Zia and Reform absolutely hate this being shared 🤣🤣🤣

@MichaelRosenYes Sending warm wishes to you, imagining it's pretty hard to hear about the meningitis outbreak. It's in my local area and it does feel a bit scary right now. I'm so sorry your son died.

For your information: when Eddie died of meningitis, he didn't have a rash on his body. I discovered after he had died (as I was pulling him from his bed) that he had a rash in his armpits.

Get Palantir out of the NHS! RT if you agree!

This is the strongest pro-vaccine message I've seen.

Every time I watch a catfu video it makes me laugh. Even my kids are completely obsessed with it. I’m officially nominating Catfu as meme of 2026.

Of the 30 people under age 30 who received psychiatric euthanasia in 2024, in the Netherlands, 25 were female. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

When I see Phil's name, I'm taken back to starting as a student in Manchester and seeing his name at the Union, the Miners' Strike was still going, & Morrissey's auntie worked in the canteen. RIP.

Richard Tice is correct: he paid tax as required. It’s just that his complex, unusual and part offshore structure reduced his bill. Not only did his firm avoid hundreds of thousands in corporation tax. He then channelled millions to entities which largely also didn’t pay tax.

What a patriot!
