For anyone who is interested, my header photo is of the most stupendous sunset I have ever seen. On the right is the waterfront of Vientiane, the capital of Laos, on the left is Thailand and in the middle, acting as the border between the two countries is the mighty Mekong river.

Tory peer Michelle Mone reportedly pocketed £29m of public money for unsafe PPE. The Lords must kick her out of Parliament and force her to pay back every penny. Agree? Join me and sign the petition now: https://act.38degrees.org.uk/act/expel-michelle-mone-lords-petition

So, Naked Running.
Apparently, this means running without GPS, music and any other tech.
I wish I knew this an hour ago.

Trump is such an extremely sad character. Some people can only feel good about themselves when they are putting other people down and he is one of them!
A total 110% prick and vindictive with it - a very sad specimen indeed!
Supporting a Holocaust denier is pretty typical of people with his sort of mindset.

One of the worst is the odious Kelvin McKenzie!
I get the impression that he is pretty much out of serviceable tanks and completely out of serviceable fuel tankers and trucks

Georgia has now outlawed abortion before most women know they are pregnant. I sure hope women in Georgia will make a point to get out and vote in the senate runoff.
Senator Warnock will protect your rights. Herschel the Hypocrite won't. His mistresses will still have options because he is rich. Most women won't.
So vote, damnit! And bring friends.

Preferably pro-EU, anti-Tory.

I'd be glad all over.
Thank you.

With outside temperatures in the UK hovering around 5 to 7 degrees this evening, many won't have turned their heating on for fear of the costs.
They'll be sitting, huddled in one room, desperately trying to stay warm & hoping not to fall ill.
If they spend money on heating, they risk losing their home or not being able to afford food.
If they don't stay warm, they risk hospitalisation, & as Tories have decimated the NHS, it's an extra pressure they don't need.

And yet the French have repeatedly offered to allow the UK to site asylum processing centres on French soil.
Which of course the UK government has refused.
Because forcing vulnerable people to risk their lives in small boats plays better with their racist voters.

Incredible moment where Suella Braverman inadvertently admits the absurdity of the UK asylum system.

Why shouldn’t you just delete your #twitter ? Abandoned social media accounts represent the same risk as abandoned domain names. Name #squatting works because reputation and influence gets attached over an account’s life -Those followers you spent time building up don’t just dissipate when you go. For a threat actor this is a huge opportunity. Some accounts carry more #influence than presidents. So if you stop using an account purge it, leave a last message, then securely lock it. (Please share)
He really is the most worthless, ineffectual speaker there has ever been in my lifetime - he must want his seat in the Lords so fcükin badly!
Tory MP reveals problems with UK asylum system
It was more like Suella Braveman - pass it on to the civil servant as I don't have a clue how to wriggle out of this one!

Personally, I my main objection to recent episodes has been the extremely poor script writing. In my view there is way too much often very poorly recorded dialogue. It's supposed to be a kid-oriented programme and kids are not known for their tolerance of people rabbiting!
The same thing exactly happened to 'Killing Eve'. The first two or three series were addictive watching then they changed script writers and I watched one episode of the new series and I have never watched an episode since. Suddenly, it was all rabbit and no action!
