I met Russell Brand several times between 2001 and 2004. He was all over the place and always had women throwing themselves at him. It simply doesn’t add up that he would need to force anyone — he was constantly surrounded by women who were offering themselves to him. He was already famous then, and I didn’t even like his attitude, but the timing of all this decades later is hard to ignore. If anything non-consensual really happened, why wait 20+ years until he became the public figure he is now? At this point it feels political. @rustyrockets

“Right wing” politics in the West:

There’s no point on here trying to have any form of debate - the algorithms alone make it pointless to make time to do so as would legitimise that behaviour. But there is another point of view. Posting this here to show it does exist and not going to be cowed by the seeming blood sport of abuse so many seem now to think the public realm.

🚨 REFORM CONFERENCE DESCENDS INTO SHAME!🚨 I hate protesters storming political events, but what happened next was worse. As security tried to remove her, some Reform supporters allegedly grabbed, slapped and punched her instead of letting security do their job. I repeat: there is nothing the Conservatives can do to win some of these people over. This isn’t politics anymore — it’s a cult. 🤦🏽‍♂️

An incredible achievement by @tompid winning his second XCO World Championship and emotional to see him dedicate the win to Fin Tarling after his tragic death in a crash at the Volta a Portugal earlier this month.
