It’s so critical that this Labour govt makes people’s lives measurably better. The last 14 years of Toryism have been pretty horrific and we need to see real change urgently. But surely we can hold them to account without helping the right to tear them down. Because then what?

The BBC has made its sound effects archive openly available online! The descriptions are pretty great, although I'd love to be able to browse/filter by program as well sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk 📚📜

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, chicken twizzlers fed to your children, crabsticks made of zero crab, fishfingers made of bits bleached white with polyphosphate, all these moments will be lost in time, like a food safety application, submitted to a Tory government

It seems that pedestrians are low priority here in #York. How are wheelchairs and pushchairs meant to navigate this sort of obstruction?

My friend, actor Ed Flay, nailing it:

When Farage, Anderson, Jenrick, Badenoch et al start banging the "British culture" drum, this is when arts journalists need to step up to the plate.

Ask them what the last book they read was; when they last went to the theatre, and what they saw; to name their favourite films. 

These fuckers have not the first interest in or grasp of what modern British culture looks like, in all its glorious technicolour variety. They're using it as a figleaf for their tedious, 50s-mired, bigoted worldview. Expose the dogwhistle for what it is by challenging them on it.
