A science acquaintance assured me that if I was magicked into space for a tiny micro second & then back to earth I would die. But I’m still not convinced. If I was only there for the tiniest sliver of time, not even enough to blink, surely my insides wouldn’t burst & eyes bleed?

Ahh, my little niece can now say two words. Which is one more than Corbynites who are still stuck on saying “smear”

Any achievement in how Labour has dealt with antisemitism has come only through Jews not being friendly to racists, by being stubborn, by not being polite. This yard by yard fight in which they begrudgingly act, doing the minimum only when shamed, shows they’re to be opposed

Marxists, communists: have you ever pondered why most of the people you patronisingly want to save hate you? I assume you believe it’s cos they’re victims of false class consciousness I think most working people are more on the money when they think you’re a bunch of *****

Every year I forget that spring exists. And then spring exists.

The account is followed by John McDonnell. I follow horrible people too - but I do so because I see them as a danger. I suspect McDonnell follows this account with neo-Nazi links cos he likes what it has to say...https://twitter.com/mendelpol/status/1096087645543911425 …

A marxist, a communist and someone who isn’t an idiot walk into a pub The person who isn’t an idiot has an awful time and leaves Nothing particularly humorous happens

I used to have a skinhead & some people were surprised when they found out I was Jewish “You don’t look Jewish” they’d say What was I meant to say? I guess we’re more difficult to spot since they stopped making us wear yellow stars? Sorry we complicate things by looking human

Corbyn’s Labour: Hates Churchill Loves the IRA Loves Hamas Would get rid of Britain’s nuclear deterrent Loves Stalin Loves Mao Thinks the poppy appeal & British Legion is white supremacist Loves collapsed leftwing economies Hates the West Corbyn is a very un-British extremist

This is incredible from @afneil We all know and feel in every fibre of our being that the arguments of the far left don’t resonate with reality Here he destroys them We need to reclaim sanity from the extremists who masquerade as purveyors of truthhttps://twitter.com/bbcthisweek/status/1096196008709566464 …

After the success of laying into Churchill I wonder if Labour are gonna have a pop at Sir David Attenborough next in bid to connect with voters?

Not only are @PeoplesMomentum weird strange bullies trying to publicly degrade someone with explicitly sarcastic, mocking affection, they reveal just how ridiculous & insular the far left are. This is how they’ve chosen to use their time & resources. Appealing to who? Themselves?https://twitter.com/peoplesmomentum/status/1096083500955062273 …

Good thread, obviously cos I agree with the cynical take on the buyers remorse of ISIS pricks. And just a rough observation: it’s like many people who try to be understanding beyond all reason have come from sheltered worlds where their bullshit detector is deficient....https://twitter.com/shirazmaher/status/1095985803866578946 …

Pavement were a huge influence in my career. I started off making ramshackle homespun films (that ended up going on Channel 4) & the way they (& the Silver Jews) seemed to evoke a lazy suburbia encouraged me to sing the song of my own town @spiralmusic @BNastanovich @dronecomahttps://twitter.com/bnastanovich/status/1096111347803308036 …
