    FFS. Tom Meighan from Kasabian assaulted his girlfriend in a "sustained attack", dragged her back into the house by her ankles and a terrified kid dialled 999 - and he gets community service. What sort of message does that send out about domestic abuse and women's safety?

    Daughter, 7, got a little book in a party goodie bag called 1001 Ways To Save The Planet. Just got panicked message from birthday girl's mum. Turns out there's a page on "detoxing your sex life" with "animal-free bondage gear and solar-powered vibrators" #northlondon

    Why aren’t all these articles about London’s worst mainline station headlined “Euston, we have a problem”?

    Bukayo Saka was "a model student" who got four A*s and three As in his GCSEs, less than three years ago. Wonder why people are at pains to claim that his social media posts are ghostwritten, when they wouldn't say this about certain other public figures and famous people🤔
    Please remember, whenever you read a ‘heartfelt statement’ from a high-profile footballer, it has almost certainly been ghost-written by a press officer. Not a criticism, but we should recognise how these things work.

    ALSO ALSO Tom Meighan's own statement yesterday: “Following today’s announcement, I just wanted to let you all know that I am doing well..." Oh, that's a weight off our minds. How about the woman and child? No apology? (I'm a bit cross, can you tell?)

    Also, Kasabian's announcement yesterday about him leaving the band for "personal reasons", eliciting sympathy from many fans, when they knew full well he was due in court less than 24hrs later for domestic violence... Cynical and shameful

    These new “Please hold on, the bus is about to move” announcements on London buses, several seconds late, when the bus is already moving, aren’t annoying AT ALL, OH NO
