Donate to Duvet Know It's Christmas, 2024, organized by Rhodri Marsden Unbelievably, it's the 14th year of this thing. What is it? Improbably, the nig… Rhodri Marsden needs your support for Duvet Know It's Christmas, 2024

6/ Incredibly, over the last few years around £200,000 has been raised for homeless charities as a result of this thing. So, this year, if you're enjoying the pix, you could fling a few quid to Centrepoint via this link: gofund.me/637d21d0

I remember seeing the funeral on TV - I don't know if it was live or part of the news. The thought of the funeral barge on a tin of biscuits has made me chuckle!

Kennedy assassination in 63, then Churchill's funeral, England winning the World Cup and then the Aberfan disaster.

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

Gisele Pelicot should named as the Time person of the year. For bravely waiving her anonymity in one of the most horrific rape cases the world has seen, to take a stand for survivors and shame the perpetrators.

Instead they’re featuring Trump, a rapist, for the second time. Obviously.

So many people think 'oh it'll all be okay'. Just like so many people thought 'oh, Dems will pull it out in the end, the other side are loopy'. Nope, and... nope. It might not be okay. Just like it wasn't okay in November.

Be right back. Just setting up Labour Friends of Lunch.

If David had been leader we'd have won the election and never had Brexit or Corbyn. I've never forgiven Ed or those union leaders for all the shite that followed.

Is he going to cut ties with all his friends in the Lords or just the doormen?

Unintended consequences of scrapping hereditary peerages (from the Earl of Shrewsbury)

That's my view of Great Expectations too!

I've no doubt she was trying to be funny but she sounds like a fucking madman.

John is a man of vast experience in international affairs and I am but a man with an Adobe subscription but this does seem to me to have a touch of "the Krays were good to their mum" about it.

More than 2,000 new trees to be planted in Plymouth this winter They will be in parks, residential streets and outside housing developments

Well done to Plymouth’s Labour-run council for their plan to plant 2,000 trees this winter. It’s welcome that more are older and taller so we can get benefit faster from them. Let’s have more like this as we seek to tackle the climate and nature crisis.

Perhaps they have a secret role for you! I'm going to follow you just for your name as I'm a Jane Austen fanatic!

So we've all had the government #RedAlert on our phones then? Frightened the hell out of me!

@milliebon.bsky.social this might interest you x

"The country needs conviction politicians, not politicians with convictions," says Kemi Badenoch, who has previously admitted to hacking and vandalising a Labour MP's website, which was an offence carrying a sentence of up to five years in prison #pmqs

What's your target?

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

Just remembered that I finished 'War & Peace' but skipped over all the war bits so in reality I read 'Peace'.

It was - I'm really not that interested in her sex life. TMI 😂

I don't know what it's like now but it was very racist & anti-immigration when I lived there in the valleys in the 70s/80s.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Miriam Margolyes' autobiography and of course Ulysses.

Young women working in the media often have zero power to call out harassment. I can remember being groped on a doc shoot by a contributor and not saying anything in case it scuppered the doc or my job in it.

With age comes power & security. I can’t wait to reach “a certain age”.

Maybe because middle class women of a certain age are in a position to call out this shit without fear of losing a salary they need. And can do it on behalf of young women starting out in their careers who are just as sick of this shit but can’t say anything because they need to earn a living.

I'm an atheist who loves carols and this thread is brilliant! Thank you @mrchrisaddison.bsky.social 🎄🔔🎶
