Good luck Republic of Gilead

@LBC @lewis_goodall Ozempic killed the three brain cells he had left...

‘Are you saying that Muslim women can’t be trusted to make their own decisions about their faith?’ @Lewis_Goodall and Reform's Robert Jenrick go at it over a Muslim prayer that took place in Trafalgar Square.

No joy in consumerism on a dying planet @JohnLewisRetail

Make this yellow bunny, egg shit stop...

@PriyamvadaGopal Even the Royal Horticultural Society are doing an Easter egg hunt in their gardens...must be so hard scanning everything to notice the word Easter missing. It has become such an orgy of consumerism, supermarkets have whole aisles full of yellow egg/bunny nonsense 😂

And then there's this.

So nice to block all those idiots posting about Easter eggs. The only position people should have against them is that they are so hideously overpriced you should spend the money on a nice chocolate bar 😂 the rest is just idiocy. Consumerism is their only religion

@danny__kruger Pru should have slapped you really hard the first time you spouted such idiocy... you're a disgrace.

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

Oh poor them, sports washing of their reputation has been postponed. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

It just shows how democratic norms in the US have broken down, that someone not simply unqualified, but mentally disturbed has so much power over people in dire need. IT'S NOT OK AND IT COULD HAPPEN HERE TOO. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

@MattSunRoyal I for one don’t think that this is a bad deal

Royal Exclusive: How Prince Edward’s peppercorn rent deal at 120-room £30m Bagshot Park home allows Edinburghs to rake in £130k a year by subletting Crown Estate buildings out as offices. Full story: thesun.co.uk/royals/3858560…

It was recorded presumably for broadcast on radio. With live intros in Welsh which was a nice touch.

Gripping concert tonight by @BBCNOW with brilliant conducting by Nil Venditti and a world class performance of the Sibelius violin concerto by Liya Petrova and the hall at Bangor Uni has exceptional acoustic performance. So much brilliant music for £15.

So looking forward to tonight's @BBCNOW concert in Bangor. Wonderful to see this Turkish conductor in action live too. pontio.co.uk/en/events/magi…

Today in what-on-earth-is-wrong-with-people I spied, at my local K-mart, a set of large nail clippers, ripped from their packet and taken for a test drive. #Sigh

Oh joy, with Google burying Lens ever so deep the interface of their photos apps, it has become easier to use bloody Gemini. So much nicer to have visual matches to check over than a long rambling response that takes longer to read and can be inaccurate.

As usual. He's just reacting to being found out. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m…

The US has the perfect word for that man. Jackass theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

But of course he brings it up near the end. 👏👏👏

Just a shame All of us Strangers wasn't mentioned which was a great piece of queer work by him and surely was a risky move from someone at the peak of their international fame.

Andrew Scott is such a good interviewee, really worth watching this one. Isn't the whisky sponsorship subtle? 😂 youtu.be/REH_sRApdho?si…
