24 hrs on from the @PaulHeatonSolo night on BBC2 & my timeline is, understandably, still full of posts praising the genuine 'man of the people' - the epitomy of when you're up you feel the rhythm, when you're down you hear the lyrics - a musical genius with a hint of cheekiness

You haven't & you won't - way to distant from each other to be profitable
I have some good news for my old maths teacher. Now I drive a van delivering to Greggs in Hull, Grimsby & Bradford, proving that I can take pie to three dismal places.

Ryan Bridge of Raise the Colours rocks up at Wetherspoons demanding entry while sporting a fake enamel poppy badge, specially manufactured in China for flag shaggers. Not a penny goes to the Royal British Legion, but at least the performative patriotism looks the part.

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅 My view: Trump chose to insult Norway. Visit Norway answered with humour, confidence and a showcase of its most beautiful loos. That’s how you turn an insult into an invitation. Congratulations to Norway for responding with such grace - and giving us another reason to visit. I've never been to Norway, but this is just another reason to visit 😁

Once again you are failing the community of Painthorpe in Wakefield by continuing to allow a resident to run amock despite ALL of the evidence of his numerous misdemeanors - are you really wanting safer communities? @WestYorksPolice @itvcalendar @BBCLookNorth

It is now 37 years ago that the last episode of #Blackadder Goes Forth was screened. This TV gold concluded 3 hrs of unmatched of comedy to many of us. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene. Vid: BlackadderQtes

Donald Trump is amazing. My grocery cart used to hold $100 worth of food, and now it holds $250 worth of food. I don't know how he does it, but the man is a genius.

Trump: "I made $72 billion on TikTok! You know who number one is on TikTok? Trump, I'm number one. Can you believe it? Taylor Swift is number 19. They just sent out the ratings." He's not even in the top 100, and nobody makes billions on TikTok! Trump's an insane liar. 🤥

This is the man who punched a woman in the face at a Trump rally for daring to ask Trump about Epstein from the crowd, as Trump and other attendees cheered him on. Anyone know his name? Let's make him famous.

This Nazi MAGAt POS punched a woman in the face because she wore a shirt that said "Release the Epstein Files". The violent radical right has made their stance clear. Make him famous

The Nobel Peace Prize has gone to Navi Pillay for promoting international law, which is the politest way a Norwegian committee has ever told Donald Trump to fuck off.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navi Pillay “for her efforts to promote peace and international law.” Do you agree that international law is a necessity for peace and security?
