Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood shifts government language from addressing legitimate concerns to "legitimate grievances" and the legitimacy of "resentment" of asylum seekers & spending
She does contrast this with a view she will exclude as illegitimate, which is "hating everyone who is not white"
Chris fukking Mason repeating the racists' "what is known as family voting"
NO.
It is not "known as" anything, it is a phrase invented yesterday to say "foreigners, but we can't say that"
anyone familiar with British politics will know that any news that isn't entirely negative will be closely followed by a sustained bombardment of misery that will make you want to fucking die. but currently it's Friday, it's payday, and the fascists have lost
Itβs a bittersweet victory - the victory of a progressive, left wing candidate tempered by having to hear what Chris Mason thinks about it.
Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."
Thank you for paying attention to this. It matters. As a generally staunch supporter of the BBC I've been shouting at them for years about platforming NF. Now my only response is to turn off immediately every time he appears. A small act of protest, but it means I don't hear the lies.
Absolutely! Total attention required. No skipping, no flipping back to check details or names etcβ¦ and Iβd say audiobooks reignited my love of novels and got me physically reading more too. Winner!
Rehearsal chaos incoming π
Five actors. Multiple roles. Maximum mayhem.
We're having the best time in rehearsals for The Grand Babylon Hotel! The Dipping House now has a waiting list for every show, but you can still see us on tour:

Made me laugh. Love a good pun I do.
Excellent. π
In honour of the woman who, more than anyone, is responsible for this moment of transparency with the #EpsteinFiles, we're removing the paywall from this profile

That's how many times Farage is in the Epstein files, and in numbers of documents heβs in, itβsβ¦

Yet, the British mainstream mediaβ¦
Imagine if Keir Starmerβs name was in the Epstein files.
But no itβs Farageβs. So nothing to see here.
Peak Yorkshireman that. π€£ β€οΈ

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Both Penguin and President appear to be lost.
She is a beautiful soul (and a dustbin). Your book looks great! Iβm off to order it now. ππ»
My Labrador/Springer has that same appalling urge and I spend lots of time on our walks saying, βwhat are you eating nowβ¦? Drop! DROP!!β Iβm glad your lovely lad is ok. Total nightmare. ππ»
Needs a perm! π
If you:
1. Need to get guests to studios, and back home after, or
2. Need to get staff safely into work or back home after the tube has stopped running
You need to use taxis or private hire. If you do that via contract, itβs cheaper than paying full price each time.

Mabel and the moon.
Our morning walk today - phot canβt capture the beauty of the low setting moon. It was a stunner.

Ps @groomb.bsky.social - Northerners is my current audio book. Loving it. π
Christmas after that sweltering summer! I was 9 years old not far away in Leeds, having just moved there from Ossett. This photo is so evocative. I love the Santa and balloons above the door. A lost world that was, in its way, very real and beautiful.

In the UK this is practically the uniform of theatre technicians. Long shorts all year round. Though, admittedly, is not as cold here.
