@ZoeJardiniere Fair. If I'd said this, I would also say it again. Excellent work. Made my morning. I doff my cap.

I’ll say it again.

@Mishi_2210 Ach no 51181, obvs

Brain Teaser What is the biggest number..? No Cheating

It's not 8. How many birds are there? 🤔🤔

I’m SICK of people attacking those on benefits. I’ll say one more time. I had a partner and a beautiful family. But sadly he died. I had 4 kids by myself. I didn’t have family to help step in. I ended on benefits because I couldn’t afford childcare. My kids were 3yr, 5yr, 6yr and 15yrs old. You’re only ever one tragedy away from ending up on benefits. STOP judging when you don’t know people’s story’s. Also many people on benefits work. Why should they have to top up their wages? Shouldn’t companies pay liveable wages in the first place? It’s more like corporation subsidies imho. You’re blaming the wrong people. It’s the system that works against us not the people themselves.

@Hamzasharif5750 .

'...once you have the levers of power the words “illegal” and “migrant” can mean whatever you want them to mean.' This is a brilliant piece of writing: bitter truth, elegantly expressed. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@EmmaManzini Hard agree. Suede and Pulp infinitely preferable.

This is correct.

@dieworkwear @candycakes72 Speaking as an immigration lawyer (albeit in the UK not the US), I couldn't agree more. Law that is made in consequence of public controversy is nearly always like that, because it's highly contested, so, whatever the apparent aim, there is no unanimity of desire to make it work.

@candycakes72 This is a very good summation of all the issues. I've found the process to be incredibly complex and requires tremendous financial resources and time to solve, if it can be solved at all. Legal issues are rarely simple.

i love and respect everyone, but often read legal opinions here from people who claim they could solve an immigration issue if they were undocumented. you are the same person who asks me where you can buy pants. please be serious.

"Water companies have been getting away with failures to improve sewage works and overspending because of regulatory problems, a damning report by the government’s spending watchdog has found." Political oversight, @DefraGovUK and water industry regulators, FAILED. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Lemme get this straight… Donald Trump didn’t get a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia. He clearly didn’t end the war. He didn’t get Zelenskyy to sign a minerals deal. He ended the peace talks and canceled a press conference. And MAGA thinks he’s a brilliant negotiator? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Clear & important thread about more outright lies being spread by Elon Musk to drive hatred of foreigners. 👇

Well said, @AllyFogg !

@TheCinesthetic The end of the final episode of the TV version of Mr & Mrs Smith (series 1 cos that's all that's been so far, with Donald Glover and Maya Erskine) is a definite contender.

what is the sexiest non-sex scene you've ever seen?

@oldenoughtosay You can tell that from his trousers.

Thank you Javier Bardem for your decency, your courage, and love for all human beings. You are a beacon of light, amigo.

Thank you, @QaysSediqi! You're very kind, but when these things succeed, it's nearly always a joint effort between barrister, solicitor and client. It's great to work with someone who really cares.

@willmenaker Picts, like elephants, couldn't hop. Facts.

If I was a Pict I would just hop over this quite easily

I haven't left Twitter/'X' yet because Musk isn't worth the flounce. But if anyone cares, I have opened a new thingy at @RudolphSpurling.bsky.social

@thhamilton On the contrary, they ARE sending their best. I think we'll be OK.
