Been a bit quiet on the old socials these past months but here I am with an album to promote goddamit!!
My first solo outing (well, mostly - Graham Simpson co-wrote 2 tracks with me)
I'm very proud of it and shall be touting it about the place in a very unashamed way for a while

Trans stuff aside, the fact that people in 'Murica can casually talk about 5748 MASS shootings in schools since 2012 with this level of acceptance is f*cking insane!! Nowhere else has this problem. Man, that country is broken and they have the audacity to interfere everwhere else
For those still liking my post, I did correct myself and meant to say “mass” shooting. But here are the stats. The proof.

It's available across various formats and I'll drip feed them in the coming weeks; but initially here's 3 of the biggies. I'll probably do what everyone does and make a stand and withdraw it from Spotify soon, but for now let's pretend they're not rapacious, amoral arse-wipes.

When @Glinner landed at Heathrow, he was met by five armed police officers, and immediately arrested.
His ‘crime’? Three gender-critical tweets.
As Graham says in his Substack:
“In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer”.
Graham’s single bail condition is that he does not go on X.
We do not believe Graham’s arrest or the bail conditions imposed were lawful. We will be backing him all the way in his fight against these preposterous allegations and the disproportionate response from the police.
And there we have it! Less than 6 months in before unveiling the real paymasters
I'm determined to deliver growth, create wealth and put more money in people’s pockets.
This can only be achieved by working in partnership with leading businesses, like @BlackRock, to capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.

R.I.P. Maggie Smith. Seen here on the Parkinson show with Kenneth Williams, reading one of John Betjeman's poems (Death In Leamington) to Betjeman himself.

This Robin Williams thread will brighten up your day 🧵
1. His improvised scene in Good Will Hunting made the cameraman laugh so hard the camera started shaking. Matt Damon's reaction is authentic.
This what Tw*tter needs more of. Roy Castle playing the spoons while Shep the dog goes berserk.
