Remember the days when people in public office would resign over any mildly dishonourable behaviour as the right thing? #DominicCummings

Satire & reality almost indistinguishable these days. Comedian mocks police handling of tragic murder of UK politician Ann Widdecombe that is a bit too accurate. It’s funny because it’s true.

POLICE- Ann Widdecombe update.
English
This is a lovely bit from Louis Theroux’s documentary about Ann Widdecombe -her mother is great fun & says how close they were. Even better is Ann’s protectiveness of her mother & how she is so direct & fearless even though she’s being filmed. Thread below has 2 other clips above

Louis was told he couldn't speak to Anns Mother alone but he manages to have a chat with her. She says her & Ann have always been close

@LouiseWeebe This is very nice but “rock and roll” would be better.

You’re listening to Sisyphus FM, the home of non-stop rock.

@NicolaSims1966 @Judith652 @VeritasEver It is horrendous & I am sorry you are going through it . The tragedy is that the assisted dying bill wouldn’t help this situation which occurs daily in hospitals up & down UK because patient has to be able to administer the drugs themselves which most people end of life can’t do.
English
Sitting in hospital waiting for someone to die is the most horrendous experience I've ever had. We give animals a more dignified end than humans. 💔

#VictoriaWood song about #AnnWiddecombe . I love that it contains the lyrics “I sing I dance” years before she did strictly.

@Fibutton @ToniSmith_UK I don’t understand it. She has vast wealth, easy access to both professional stylists & fashionistas, she is not overweight or ugly & is a narcissist obsessed w image. By all accounts she should look fabulous all the time. It makes no sense why #MeghanMarkle looks such a state.

@ToniSmith_UK Hey, she's never going to get it completely right...ever! 😂🤣

@_TheGMan @LouiseMensch @adamboultonTABB No single woman I know in 2026 would call themselves a spinster. It’s out dated and offensive because it’s origin is a older single woman is only fit for spinning wool. If you think it’s fine, you mark yourself a dinosaur.
English
@sofiaxsmith @LouiseMensch @adamboultonTABB It means an old woman who is single. Women use it about others or themselves. Not much to see there.
English
@_TheGMan @LouiseMensch @adamboultonTABB Spinster and Old Maid are both misogynistic and have roots in a male need to denigrate women who appear to not need a man. It’s the same reason why in the dark ages so many single women were accused of being witches.
English
@LouiseMensch @adamboultonTABB Spinster feels neutral, but going on about being a Virgin is pretty creepy and odd.

@JenCarsonTaylor @Ben1Jam @Wimbledon It’s a modern revolting sickness. It’s even worse at galleries, museums & major historical sites. It’s very depressing for people who are actually interested in the history, art or artefacts because it takes an age to get near anything because of the posturing idiots.
English
@Ben1Jam @Wimbledon It’s particularly bad this year. They queue to get their pics then assume their practiced poses, then push off to their drinks. Just awful.

What is wrong with Prince Harry’s hand gestures? He has these weird splayed spoke fingers. He gestures almost like he’s trying to communicate with a foreigner who doesn’t speak English so he assumes they are stupid. #PrinceHarry #AlisonHammond #Invictus

I love this interview between Alison Hammond and Prince Harry! Such a good interview!! ❤️

@sf_lang Americans pronouncing the L in CALM drives me insane. It’s like nails on a blackboard. It sound so revolting almost like they are struggling to swallow the word. Meghan Markle is a major offender.
English
When did people start pronouncing the T in 'often' and the L in 'almond'? How did 'advertisement' become 'advertISEment'? And when did 'forehead' become FOREhead? Who first mispronounces these things, and why does it spread?

Imagine being able to say “I knitted the Clangers”. That’s a claim to fame! #TheClangers #1980s
Martin Knight@MartinKnight_
David Cameron’s wife Samantha’s g/grandmother was Edith Bagnold who wrote horsey novel National Velvet. The film featured Angela Lansbury whose cousin was Oliver Postgate, creator of Ivor the Engine. The artwork for Ivor was provided by Peter Firmin, whose wife knitted the Clangers.

@Kerrineedshols @aislingphelan24 @Ryanair Which part of “NO assistance was available” are you unable to comprehend ?
English
@aislingphelan24 @Ryanair Why didn't she just wait there, I am pretty sure the crew would have located someone very quickly! There are only a few members of staff allocated to special assistance, maybe they were assisting others??
English
I have a question and need to speak to someone @Ryanair , my mother of 84 was on a flight from Glasgow yesterday, on arrival no assistance was available and she had to walk down the steps she is a wheelchair user who is not supposed to use steps assistance was booked . Why ?

Brilliant piece of writing on #Chess by Julian Barnes. I randomly came across this in my feed because someone I follow commented on it. This is when the internet devilment has its uses!

@Leon_C_C @jackaldane @mymartinamis @wself The devil in my ear tells me Jack's ideal guest for that should be Julian Barnes, who famously fell out with Amis and is after all the author of this 1994 study of indoor, tabletop barbarity: granta.com/trap-dominate-…
