- I'm not even joking when I say it should be against the law to require you to ring up to cancel a subscription you can buy online.
- Having worked stories like this, worth saying this is only the stuff they got past the lawyers. In my experience there’s always a load of horrific stuff you can’t quite get over the line but the team is sure is true.Brand, then 30, sent a car to her secondary school to take her out of lessons and to his home. Brand’s management knew that he had a teenage girlfriend and advised him not to be seen with her in public, she says thetimes.co.uk/article/d4d93e…
- Replying to @hansmollmanIN THE DARK is almost exactly this, with a little boy, and the break in the case after 30 years is "we looked at other crimes in the areas, found a digger was stolen that night, and cross referenced this with paedos who can drive a digger". Police were too busy with psychics!
- I am very much eye-rolling about the Pearl clutching American reaction to us locking up shitbags for inciting riots. First off, 47 states of the union criminalise inciting riots, so unless you’re in Nebraska, Wyoming or Wisconsin? Guess what you, have similar or harsher laws.
- Replying to @WillardFoxtonI'm not even cancelling a free trial! I've been a Times subscriber for 8 years.
- Occasionally reminded how INSANELY dystopian the pandemic was at times. Facebook memory cropping up reminding me of when I got a push notification from my food delivery app insisting I go outside for scheduled MOURNING.
- Somehow a.) this story about Ed Davey is true b.) it only came up once in an interview because a journalist asked about it ten years ago
- Incredible the degree to which the Russians think Britain is running things behind the scenes
- My favourite thing about this bonkers Nadine Dorries interview is she appears to be a force ghost like Obi-Wan in Empire Strikes BackWhen asked why it had taken Rishi Sunak 8 hours to back Johnson, Nadine Dorries blames the Wi-Fi in Devon.
00:00 - Hate to admit my very left wing friends are right on this, but Starmer's complete vanishing act on energy bills is just dreadful. The Libdems, Gordon Brown have plans out. Martin Lewis (!) is challenging Sunak and Truss - yet Starmer and the shadow cabinet are just invisible.
- Replying to @Times_CSI got through and cancelled after 40 minutes on the phone while looking after 2 kids, won’t be subscribing again, thanks
- Extra big thumbs up to the commissioning editor who passed on the Pincher story from me on the basis “he’s just a whip, nobody will care”
