I remember seeing news footage of Nigel Farage’s Brexit march consisting of about 30 bellends and a whippet… But no British news coverage of this incredible strike action from yesterday:

Hello, UK. I've worked out where you can watch all of this year's Oscar nominees for 'free' (or the best rental price via streaming). And yes, My Life In Dicks *is* available, you'll be very glad to hear... 😉 ENJOY!

Whatever happens this morning to English especially London arts organisations, there will be a lot of upset and self-blame where there should be anger. Remember this isn’t the fault of arts leaders or even ACE, it’s 12 years of Tory austerity funding, followed by Nadine Dorries.

So, Mo Farrah. Seeing lots of outrage and, understandably, confusion at the Home Office’s statement that they won’t be investigating him for any offences. The fuck do they mean offences? He was a victim of the trafficking. Well, let’s hear some uncomfortable truths today 🧵

An unaccompanied 16-year-old Eritrean boy turned up at our youth club this week, just after opening, with some others. He was a new face so I asked him how long he'd been in the UK and he said: "today". I said: "what do you mean 'today'?" He said: "I arrived, just today". 🧵
