Happy anniversary

Our little home. Bought in 1982 for £28,000. Just a modest family home in Surrey with a bit of a garden. I remember picking up extra shifts at the post office that summer to save for the deposit. We were so young. Apparently it's worth £1.5 million now but to us it's just home. 🏡

This is SUBLIME. #MORRISSEY #JOHNNYMARR #THESMITHS Happy Easter Sunday. If you're not sporting daffodils from your Levi's today, then what are you doing... 😊 Only previously seen by me with hellish A/V, this nicer footage popped up today on Instagram via fuckyralgorithm...

'That's not AI?! That's genuine?' James O’Brien can't believe who Donald Trump sounds like in this Iran update.

finally celebrating something

@nw_nicholas Trying to sort a crypto payment for him…

Unusually BBC still haven't announced panel for Clacton Question Time tomorrow. Probably still negotiating with Farage (a) his fee (b) acceptable questions

BREAKING: Bruce Springsteen just announced that his band will be doing a tour in effort to fight back against Donald Trump's authoritarian overreach. The Boss is back!

Incredible to think this wonderfully chaotic, joyful, irreverent programme, which I had the pleasure of being on a few times, seems like another world away now. Fun & joy has been completely replaced with dour earnestness, bland virtue signalling & self-conscious caution.

@cute_payal00 Very

Am I cute?

@TaylorMod The live version is amazing

History by the verve is one of the greatest songs ever written Pure masterpiece in music

@sofislidesaway This song is very very underrated imho.

this song is criminally underrated

Imagine. Celebrities are given hell (rightly so) for their huge tax avoidance shenanigans e.g. Chris Moyles and Take That's Gary Barlow. Yet we have Reform UK's Richard Tice who for some reason 🤔 is given carte blanche to do the exact same shenanigans. #BBCBreakfast #r4today

NEW: British billionaire convicted in US for failing to implement adequate money-laundering controls on his cryptocurrency business is funding political base in Westminster used by “anti-woke” & rightwing activists. Fascinating fr @sandralaville @ @rowenamason theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

The Premier League is at an all time low. The football has become boring, there is corruption on and off the pitch, VAR has drained the life out of the game, fans are being priced out, and the schedule is all over the place. It’s becoming increasingly harder to enjoy

NEW: Nigel Farage has sold videos in which he endorsed a neo-Nazi event, repeated extremist slogans and supported a man convicted over his involvement in a far-right riot - Henry Dyer & Michael Goodier report theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-int…

Whenever Chelsea's murky activities make the headlines, and it’s often, I'm always reminded of Matthew Syed's brilliant evisceration of Roman Abramovich on Sky Sports... What Everton did is a million miles from this lot. They're corrupt to the marrow.
