White Lives Matter

@Keir_Starmer What about Henry Nowak? What about Wayne Broadhurst? What about Rhiannon White? What about Mark Teeton? What about Thomas Roberts? Maybe you should care just a little about citizens the country you're supposed to represent.

I condemn the deadly attack on a mosque in San Diego. My thoughts are with those affected. I know many Muslims in the UK will be shaken by this, worried about their safety when going about their lives and attending mosque, and what it says about the times we’re living in. I understand those fears. Violence like this does not happen in a vacuum. It grows in an environment where division and anti-Muslim hostility are normalised. That is intolerable. We must all come together against it.

@Keir_Starmer So this hasn't happened yet and you've already decided how it went. What about the other march that has actually been spreading anti-semitic hatred and inciting violence every week for the last 2 years?

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division. We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views. They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.

@nettermike She's "designed" something that can't be made - at least not small enough to be an earring. That's not an achievement, it's a poorly thought through idea.

A 16-year-old student (now 22) from Limpopo, South Africa, has received attention for a safety device she designed. Her name is Bohlale Mphahlele. She created the idea for a device called the "Alerting Earpiece." It is a small device shaped like an earring. The goal is to help people in dangerous situations. She got the idea because of high crime rates and gender-based violence in South Africa. She wanted to design something small, simple, and easy to use. The design includes a small camera, a GPS tracker, and an alert button. The idea is that the user can press a hidden button. The device would then take a photo of the attacker. It would also send the user's location to trusted contacts and emergency services. The device is still in development: The prototype has won awards (including bronze at the Eskom Expo) and international attention, but it’s not yet commercially available. It will hit the market sooner than later show how one idea from one person will eventually effect the lives of many Stay tuned to stay safe on this

@MarcherReborn Still not as good as when Susan Boyle had an album out, there was a party and they went with susanalbumparty.com

One hyphen - that’s all it needed

pecco gets a lot of slate but i still think being on the podium a week after this is one of the maddest achievements in recent motogp history

@TheCinesthetic I watched it again recently and was struck by the fact that despite trying to make it look untidy and distopian, 2002 London mid Zombie apocalypse looks nicer than 2026 London.

In 28 Days Later (2002), London looks eerily empty but it was all low-budget guerrilla filmmaking, no CGI. Danny Boyle shot at dawn on Sundays with a tiny crew, just 45 mins before the city woke, & even had to ask people on Westminster Bridge to pause.

@KonstantinKisin Do the Green Party even pretend they're anything about being green any more?

When the Greens campaigned in Urdu, you all laughed at them. !تم اب نہیں ہنس رہے ہو

How is this not the most important issue in the UK? Anything else - Andrew, Mandelson, Post Office scandal, etc. - may be significant but just pales in comparison. This is still happening and people just want to pretend it's not.

@elonmusk Of course, the BBC go with this for their deliberately misleading headline.

Accurate

@UKLabour It's no about hurt feelings. It's about you lying to mislead the electorate.

Goodwin in 2025:⠀⠀⠀⠀Goodwin in 2026: Home of free speech!⠀⠀Don’t be mean to me :(

@afneil Do you think Trump will just take Chagos the day after it belongs to Mauritius? I can just imagine it now... "Well, the UK didn't want it. We might even let them off the rent, so it's a good deal for the UK."

From what he’s just said in the White House Donald Trump seems to think we’re selling the Chagos Islands to Mauritius (‘do the Brits need the money?’). Of course the UK is surrendering sovereignty AND paying Mauritius up to £34 billion over the next 100 years to lease back the islands, in what must be the worst deal any government has made in modern times. You own something that nobody can take from you (whatever international lawyers say). You give it away to a country of which it has never been a part. Then you pay billions to lease it back. Bonkers

@daveatherton Not sure I agree. I think I'd have been a terrible dad in my 20s or 30s. Enjoyed being a dad in my 40s and seem to be doing a reasonable job of it. Kids early is not for everyone.

Thought of the day. I've read & spoken to many women who regret not having children. Their family dwindles as they get older. My advice to young couples is to have your children in your 20s, or if you must 30s, you can always wait to buy a house later. Your body can't wait.

Shaun Ryder and Bez will be live on BBC News this morning. I've never seen Shaun Ryder get through a sentence without swearing. Let's see what happens...

@AlboMP We have very few guns in the UK but have more Islamic terrorism than you do in Australia. The guns aren't the problem.

We’re getting dangerous guns off our streets with a national buyback.

@EdwardJDavey The BBC were interfering in American democracy.

Keir Starmer needs to stand up for the BBC against Trump's outrageous $5bn lawsuit and protect licence fee payers from being hit in the pocket. Trump wants to interfere in our democracy and undermine our national broadcaster. We cannot let him.

@HannahIamthest1 There's not always time (or enough hair these days) for the shampoo mohawk.

HOW TO SHOWER LIKE A WOMAN: Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks. Walk to bathroom wearing long robe. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas. Look at your womanly physique in the mirror -- make mental note to do more sit-ups/leg-lifts, etc. Get ...in the shower. Use wash cloth , long loofah, wide loofah and pumice stone...Wash your hair once with cucumber and sage shampoo with 43 added vitamins. Wash your hair again to make sure it's clean. Condition your hair with grapefruit mint conditioner. Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for 10 minutes until red. Wash entire rest of body with ginger nut and jaffa cake body wash. Rinse conditioner off hair. Shave armpits and legs. Rinse off. Turn off shower. Squeegee off all wet surfaces in shower. Spray mold spots with Tilex.. Get out of shower. Dry with towel the size of a small country. Wrap hair in super absorbent towel. Return to bedroom wearing long robe and towel on head. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas. HOW TO SHOWER LIKE A MAN: Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in a pile. Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see wife along the way, shake wiener at her making the woo-woo sound. Look at your manly physique in the mirror. Admire the size of your wiener and scratch your butt. Get in the shower. Wash your face. Wash your armpits. Blow your nose in your hands and let the water rinse them off. Fart and laugh at how loud it sounds in the shower. Spend majority of time washing privates and surrounding area. Wash your butt, leaving those coarse butt hairs stuck on the soap. Wash your hair. Make a Shampoo Mohawk. Pee. Rinse off and get out of shower. Partially dry off. Fail to notice the water on floor because curtain was hanging out of tub the whole time. Admire wiener size in mirror again. Leave shower curtain open, wet mat on floor, and light and fan on. Return to bedroom with towel around waist. If you pass wife, pull off towel, shake wiener at her and make the woo-woo sound again. Throw wet towel on bed. If there is anyone who did not laugh at the truth behind this, there is something SO very wrong with you. 🤣🤣🤣

@ArchRose90 I heard about this on Sky News. Within minutes there was a suggestion that mosques should get more money for security. Not synagogues. Just mosques. Incredible. Kill more people. Get more money.

I forgot how bad Sky News is. 🤦🏽

Heard about the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach. Turned on the news (Sky News). I wondered how long it would be before some idiot said we should give mosques more money for security. Not even 5 minutes. Had it been BBC News it might have been sooner.

@Keir_Starmer I'm starting to doubt your claim you did music with Fat Boy Slim. You are the most tone deaf politician in the world.

As Jewish communities come together to celebrate Chanukah, I send my warmest wishes to families across the UK and around the world. May the Festival of Lights bring hope, peace and comfort. Chanukah Sameach.
