Only discovered ballet a couple of years ago and I love it now. Gone the Matthew Bourne route (modernised versions) but absolutely adore it. I’m sure Opera is not far away in catching my eye, or ear I should say. 😄
Absolutely love this! Bonkers but brilliant. 😂 #eurovision

And all his fingers trying to play thumb wars. There’s a lot of body language going on there. 👀
Have you seen this one? Dubbed the mad hatterpillar, it wears it's own old heads as a hat.

Scientists discovered a caterpillar that murders insects and stitches their dismembered body parts onto its back as armor
You’re welcome. Happy day! 😆
Where’s my miniature violin…? 😒
Ughhh… can’t stand him. Such a creep. Snakey McSnakeface.
I think you’ll find that people who have traditionally voted Labour will be voting for PC and Greens because they don’t want Reform in the Senedd. Labour’s current polling is dire and this kind of messaging to all progressive voters is not helpful.
I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs
Good piece by Giles Coren on Nando's and others deciding that, no, they don't want chickens to live OK lives after all www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

How Westminster Works …and Why It Doesn’t. Book by Ian Dunt. Taken out of the House of Commons Library by Hannah Spencer. Screenshot of the book taken from her Instagram reel on the day she was sworn in as an MP for Gorton and Denton.
Lovely to see Hannah Spencer documenting her day being sworn in as an MP at Gorton and Denton on Instagram. Love how this is the first book she’s taken out at the House of Commons Library! And she took her 4 greyhounds with her too. 😍 What a star!

Polling holds too much sway over our democracy and governance. But the G&D by-election does show that Reform’s dominance is inflated by foreign/rightwing interests, irresponsible media support and Farage’s ego.
If progressives can win despite all that, then hatred really is overpriced. Hope can win.
Reform are in denial about why they lost by 12% in Gorton & Denton (60% white, 80% UK-born) after losing by 11% in Caerphilly (98% white, 98% UK-born) to Plaid Cyrmu
Both seats unusual in seeing more people vote than at last Welsh Senedd/last GE: more voters turned out to stop Reform than supoort

All relief flights from Dubai should be met at arrivals with signs saying "HM Revenue & Customs welcomes you back to the UK"

Boycotted them for years. Hideous company. I think one of the founders likes to hang out with Farage too. Nasty piece of work. Just feel awful for the staff.
Either that’s an unfortunate photo or he’s doing a good impression of weekend at Bernies. 👀

My OH works in TV / film production and we often watch YouTube videos on how films were made and their legacy. It just suddenly occurred to me that the next phase of film making with AI could be user generated. We’ll be prompting what we watch. Genre, actors, plot, time. What a depressing thought. 😕
Bravo! 👏👏👏😂

Like a fucking child naming his WWE fighter dolls. 😒
Starmer telling Labour MPs today that the Greens are "divisive," "sectarian," and "not the kind environmentalists they pretend" is not going to go down well with the millions who now back Greens. It'll simply tell them Labour doesn't hear us. More tin-eared stupidity.
No that’s “Regards”. Especially after previous correspondence where “Kind Regards” or “Warm Regards” has been used.
Regards = You’ve peed me off and I’m now absolutely livid.
It’s a short fuse in British terminology. 😂
I know I’m late to the party but I have finally lost my fucking patience with Starmer. Labour must get rid of him and replace him with someone with at least an ounce of political awareness and decorum.
What a colossal bellend.
