- If you think you can bash me for not having joined in your nihilism sooner, it won't work, precisely because I am an optimist. I consider it my best quality. By next week, I will have something new to fight for. I'll keep trying to make things a tiny bit better, while you heckle. I'm ok with that.
- "I look at Starmer's trajectory and it is immensely difficult not to notice the trail of devastation left behind. Disabled people, Palestinians, trans people, and now immigrants. All I can see is someone who is willing to throw anyone out of his hot air balloon, just so it can rise higher."
- 🚨NEW SHOW This week it’s Naomi, Alex and Kenny! We discuss the appalling rhetoric around immigration and set out everything we think we know about what’s actually happening at the big 🇬🇧🇪🇺 summit on Monday. 💚 open.spotify.com/episode/6NvN... 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...
- Do you get it now?
- Convinced that Marmite is more liquid and a lot less concentrated in taste than it used to be. A slice of toast needed the tiniest smear. Now you have to put it on like Nutella. And before you lecture me about loss of taste and subjectivity - Vegemite still tastes the same strength as before.
- D'y'know, when I first came out - this is relevant; stay with me - I overshot by A LOT for a year. Like, I had to be the gayest supergay gay. Which is totally fine - no judgment. It just wasn't me. After a while, I found my authentic self. Seeing Starmer cosplay bigotry today, I thought about that.

- If you want to know what the problem is with the language employed, here it is. This guy feels legitimised. Seen. Mainstreamed.
- I hope you’re not waiting for some clever defence of Starmer’s speech. As you know, I try to be fair and have praised him on foreign policy. I don’t think the White Paper is terrible, but ALL of the language surrounding it is inexcusable, insupportable, and indefensible. He can kiss my migrant butt.
- I don't know how it could be made any plainer.
- Sweaty Nigel really doesn’t like being challenged, does he.
