If those films about soldiers being sad about all the civilians they killed while deployed were visualised as a human face, it would look like Michael Martin's.

Notice how he doesn't use words like "reprehensible" for price gouging. Those kinds of words are only for special occasions, like when someone points out an obvious mistake you've made

"Hey folks, it's me, the politician you love to hate!"

"Oh yeah, I hate you, you can't have my vote."

"Right. Might not have thought this tactic through."

All I ask is that I'm watching him live when bits start falling off

MicheΓ‘l has managed to squeeze every last ounce of juice out of his "decent man" reputation, and it's pretty much all he has. What on earth is Jim supposed to possess that makes him leader material to the public?!

This is the problem with pretending to be a big tough guy. It's all performative, so he has no idea where it begins or ends, and you end up with awful shit like this

I might be naive, but a headline featuring a Minister saying "my job is not to be sensitive", above a caption featuring a "mother of explosion victim" is not a very good look

The place Matthew Lillard shows them where there's a portal to one of the lodges freaks me out so much. Just such a nothing, ordinary little piece of suburbia, the idea you could wander into it by mistake, nah

I did a rewatch of The Return a few months back, and it was easily the best rewatch of anything I've ever done

Trump: We shot him. We shot him like a dog. We shot him with a missile actually. They say it's the most powerful missile since the H-bomb. Why don't we use the h-bomb anymore. Maybe we should. Do you think we should?

MicheΓ‘l Martin: Careful now sir, you don't want to crease those shamrocks.

If I was in Trump's position I'd be suggesting all sorts of silly shit just to see if Starmer would goes along with it

Trump: "We're gonna start putting salmon in our coffee, who's with me?"

Starmer: "Yes, we have your back on this"

Trump: "Hahahaha look at this freak with salmon in his coffee"

I used to read the Beano, Dandy, and Buster every week. Ok, YA GOT ME, Buster was every 2 weeks. But they were such a great way to be constantly reading and leaning how all sorts of jokes work

Only a few years since his big event was a fight featuring Floyd Mayweather on top of a skyscraper in Dubai, and the tickets were NFTs. The fight didn't go ahead cause the Sultan died, but what was his plan if it did? Fleece Mayweather and his crew?! This is the ambition I like to see in a conman

I understand calls to boycott the St. Patrick's Day visits, but it's important our ministers head to the states and show them how they don't understand how laws work

You have these rules we're all supposed to follow, but some special countries (white ones) don't have to follow those rules, and nobody can say out loud why those countries are exempt (racism) and what the loopholes are based on (skin colour)

"the UK, Germany and France have condemned Iranian attacks on countries in the region, saying Iran must refrain from indiscriminate military strikes.

They did not comment on US and Israeli attacks on Iran
