Hey, The Pantheon Triptych is out now on Amazon.

The story is told through the convergent lives of a scientist, an investigator, and the heir to a super-powered authoritarian megalomaniac bent on revenge.

There must be a way to stop the looming conflict. All they have to do is find it – together.

So, today marks 10 years since the passing of Bowie.

It also marks 10 years since I put something on Twitter about it which resulted in me having to take a day off work, chase down various international media, get blocked by half of Australia, and end up the filling in a Kanye and Madonna sandwich.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.

Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.

Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

“and in other news, President Trump has ordered the bombing of Venezuela”

“Caracas?”

“not according to his doctors”

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's the Sun reflecting off Brendan O'Neill's forehead.

I left the Tabernacle after @originstorypodcast.bsky.social live entertained, educated and one nudge closer to lighting a metaphorical bonfire under British politics.

A big thank you to @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social for an evening that was far too stimulating for a weekday.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

I endorse this message!

Had it a couple of months ago. Quick, painless, and efficient.

My dad died of an aortic aneurysm, not much older than I am now, so it was a relief to get the all-clear. If this had been in place back then, things could have been so different.

If you get an NHS invite for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening then please do go along.

It’s a short and painless process which will be over in 10 minutes and it could save your life.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Political reporters continue to cover the centre-left according to the old standards of honesty and legality while shrugging at the right: "Ah well, you know what these guys are like. What can you do?"

The Express asked us about awarding the Patsy Carlton Prize to Cllr Chris Northwood. We responded:

"This prize acknowledged an exceptional woman in Cllr Chris Northwood. The message it sends to women members and voters is that the Liberal Democrats honour and value all of our women members."

The media - no, we're not going to report on serious Lib Dem policies

The media, also - the Lib Dems need to show they've got serious policies

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

"By paying such disproportionate attention to Nigel Farage's latest outfit, Reform UK, the BBC is compromising its reputation. To many licence fee payers, the broadcaster gives the impression that it hangs on every word uttered by Farage..."
