One downside of the Greens doing well is people joining for blatantly careerist reasons

Nicola Coughlan and Aimee Lou Wood as next hosts, better than I ever could have imagined ! #snluk

I've joked before that Anas Sarwar has lost the Mandate of Heaven but genuinely if you lose the Ultimate Scottish Labour Poster you might as well suspend the campaign and resign as leader now

Last week was all about everyone dressed up as weird animals, this week everyone's in a polycule #SNLUK

Lmao that palantir joke was great #SNLUK

"the first journalists in Saudi Arabia to kill themselves" #SNLUK

It is genuinely baffling the extent to which labour doesn't seem to be able to clearly articulate its own worldview

And chaser!

The Doctor's whole relationship with UNIT is frankly bizarre, but they've been in the show long enough now that people expect them to be there..!

It's a very contradictory show!

I feel like it's very difficult to say that Doctor Who is either one thing or the other, sometimes it's been super radical, other times not, often in back to back stories!

Lol yes, I meant to say Lewisham as well, that entire central London belt (the green belt?) looks good for the party

Yeah Zack running in Hackney North (where he lives!) makes the most sense to me. Of course, that's not to say that seats in Haringey, Islington, Lambeth etc aren't winnable, I think they totally are

Sources close to Hezbollah say the Strait of Hormuz will not open if the Israeli attacks in Lebanon continue. A wave of strikes in the past hours killed and injured hundreds. One of Iran’s main conditions for a ceasefire is an end to all attacks including on Lebanon.-itv news

there's a pervasive learned helplessness to the american left which makes so many of them utterly humiliating to interact with. everything is too difficult, everyone is powerless, there's no point. "you expect me to blow up the white house rather than just post"? as if those are the only options

1000%, there has to be a total break with the US, nothing less will do

profound evil

I thought Riz Ahmed was a phenomenal host, fully committed to everything, some amazing sketches and Weekend Update was brutal #snluk

Thinking about how Hannah Spencer faced threats and intimidation from the far right immediately upon election and recieved fuck all support from the supposedly lovely, down-to-earth, definitely not bigots and sexual predators who are her new colleagues as Members of Parliament

Hannah Spencer's Guardian op ed is pretty inoffensive. Can Labour MPs really not take such mild criticism? You worked as a management consultant for PWC before you became an MP on 30% of the vote - yes, it's probably likely that you're a bit out of touch lol

Well I thought that episode of Beyond Paradise was good, it handled several subjects very sensitively #beyondparadise

Really lovely and sincere interview with Hannah Spencer

Started off incredibly well, glad they didn't do Starmer two weeks in a row, British pub, Jools Holland, kidnapping, all gold, weirdly fizzled out towards the end though. Jack Shep and Annabel Marlow are gonna be stars, where were they hiding them? #snluk

You can tell Annabel did musical theatre, she made that look easy #snluk

Jools Holland maybe best so far, Jack Shep still absolutely acting everything #snluk

okay this is way better than last week, perfect Mandelson #snluk

Well colour me shocked..!

He's genuinely an extremely good actor, and a great observer of human nature and character, and its very frustrating watching him squander his talents away on twitch

Seems to be a bit of a fudge, I can definitely see the logic in going "ideally we'd like a nuclear free world, but it's not a priority"
