Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty & this tweet has been doing rounds today.
Now imagine my investigation into Russian interference hadn’t been crushed by lawfare, my news org had doubled down & carried on & govt had opened an inquiry as MPs demanded.

Interesting, grim, alarming. Helps make sense of US events but also wider issues for super online young men.

Reform giving a platform to anti-vax crankery. This stuff costs lives. Evidence - if you are one of the people who still needs it - of why they shouldn't be let anywhere near government

“It’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a significant factor in the cancers of members of the royal family” says Dr Aseem Malhotra on the main stage at Reform’s party conference

I’m sorry to spoil your Boxing Day evening @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @SteveReedMP @AngelaRayner but this poor fox is not having one . This is the face of illegal fox hunting in the UK . . . it’s got to end . . . we respectfully ask that you will end ‘trail hunting’ in your manifesto . Thank you
Please RT

Cornered and trapped in a back garden this poor fox had no escape from being torn apart by hounds from the West Norfolk Foxhounds.
This is why you should never believe the ‘trail hunt’ lies this Boxing Day or any other day.

Christmassed-up by the mighty @TheUnthanks at @sheffielduni Octagon on Thursday night - wonderful arrangements of music old and older. @KatherinePriddy supporting with some captivating new songs. Big up to the @BrudPresents empire too.

Many thanks, @wesstreeting.
Have to say I really didn't have "stop exploiting those patients you see dying in corridors in horrifically overwhelmed A&Es" on this year's Christmas list.
Please consider reading this short thread in response to your Sunday Times interview. 1/n

Late entry for @BBC6Music #TShirtDay my favourite t-shirt remains this from @DrewMillward for @Nath_Brudenell , released during the lockdown hoo-haa. Beer can hat optional.
ALT A silly, probably drunken bald man with glasses wearing a black t-shirt for the Brudenell Social Club. Main bit is a skull and crossbones, the top of the skull reads "Stay Home", the bottom text says "six feet apart or six feet under". The main looks mock serious and has a can of beer balanced on his head in similar colour scheme to the tee shirt: orange and white (or light grey) on black.

Passing an emergency law to change a Supreme Court decision you don't like sounds really useful. Unfortunately it's also fascist.

Ant & Dec are going to have to play Nigel Farage's toxicity as a feature in @imacelebrity - for laughs. Like it doesn't exist outside their TV show or his menace is just pantomime.
But it's not.
He's a poisonous dangerous cunning individual.

Up close an personal with one of my father's latest otters. (If he looks serious, it's because he's got a long swim ahead - he's off to Canada.)
