Pete Hegseth is furiously screaming "I SAID NO FATTIES!"

one of the through-lines of this administration is that it is ideologically pro-rape

The image shows an X post by Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov) from 14 hours ago. In the post, he warns that critics, opposition groups, protesters, or anyone targeted may be labeled as extremists, Antifa, or left-wing terrorists. He suggests that laws on extremist speech and actions could be passed, with emergency powers invoked if necessary.

The image is a screenshot of an X post from @BulwarkOnline. The post quotes Stephen Miller saying, "This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa...We are now going to use the entire force of the federal government to uproot these organizations root and branch." The image shows a group of people in a formal setting, likely a government office, with an American flag in the background and a person signing a document at a desk.

Listen to someone who has been through it under Putin.

These captchas are getting harder and harder

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

I will never get tired of actors who played the Doctor turning up to protest social injustice in not-quite-costume all "What? These are just my clothes. My everyday normal clothes. Now, this ends tonight, Ace!"

The Seventh Doctor being iconic

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.

Four arrested after images of Trump and Epstein projected on to Windsor Castle ahead of president’s visit Trump arrived in Britain late on Tuesday for an unprecedented second state visit in which he will be hosted by King Charles

as a free speech champion, Trump will hate these arrests

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

2h ago 10.29 BS1 Police are not using live facial recognition in its policing of the 'Unite the Kingdom' demonstration which is beginning on London's south bank, reports the PA news agency. It said: • We're using a mobile CCTV van to help monitor the build up of crowds. Officers have been asked if it's using 'live facial recognition' - we can confirm it is not. The live facial recognition technology - which captures people's faces in real-time CCTV cameras - was used in the policing operation at the Notting Hill carnival.

Would have thought it well worth the police using facial recognition technology on the Yaxley-Lennon match, just to catch up with all the child support deadbeats, warrant evaders, probation violators and criminal suspects who are going to be there.

They may not call for violence the same way the right does in US social media but the drumbeat of dehumanisation over the last 10 years is still terrible, and they have a bigger megaphone.

I there's one lesson of the last few days for the US it's the government and BBC journos need to get off X.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

hey im putting something together for my boss for his birthday. yeah can you write a letter or better yet an insane poem or horrifying drawing about the unspeakable crimes you all have committed together

This doubly telling because
1) being totally batshit on the internet as a British MP can now give you a 50% uplift on an MP's salary! bit of a worrying incentive!
2) being one of the most shared politicians on X only earns you £40k, meaning most of the blue ticks are debasing themselves for pennies

Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

"hahaha I am such a massive nerd about politics I bloody love politics, I love going to party conferences. No I'm not going to write about policy that sort of thing is of no interest at all to a fellow like me"

If Rayner had set out to minimise her tax bill, she could have waited til her son turned 18 before buying the Hove house. She didn't because she wasn't trying to minimise her tax bill.

If I had time - or a BBC-sized team - I'd assemble all the Daily Mail front pages hysterically celebrating the Tories doing all the things that left the country in the mess that the paper is now moaning about & somehow trying to blame on, *checks notes*, Keir Starmer. They even worshipped Liz Truss!

"I understand it is normally the role of opposition leaders to jump up and down and call for resignations – as we’ve seen plenty of from the Conservatives already. Obviously if the ethics advisor says Angela Rayner has broken the rules, her position may well become untenable. But as a parent of a disabled child, I know the thing my wife and I worry most about is our son’s care after we have gone, so I can completely understand and trust that the deputy prime minister was thinking about the same thing here. Perhaps now is a good time to talk about how we look after disabled people and how we can build a more caring country."

When I was at Anglia TV about 25 yrs ago, a girl in our office sent out a team email that said, “It’s been a crap Monday, who wants to come to my flat for a smoke?” Sadly she sent it to everyone in ITV. Melvyn was one of the first to reply with “That sounds lovely but sadly I’m filming in Newcastle”

Guardian screenshot Farage furious over Jo Brand's 'throw battery acid not milkshake' joke Brexit party leader calls for police action over comedian’s comments on BBC Radio 4 Jedidajah Otte Wed 12 Jun 2019 19.32 BST The BBC has defended the comedian Jo Brand against claims she incited violence in comments she made during a radio show. Brand, who joined the Heresy talk show on Radio 4 as a guest on Tuesday, joked about throwing battery acid at “unpleasant characters” instead of milkshakes. I Nigel Farage, the leader of the Brexit party and one of several European election candidates that had milkshakes thrown on them in recent weeks, tweeted: “This is incitement of violence and the police need to act.”

CAN YOU IMAGINE CALLING FOR SOMEONE TO BE ARRESTED FOR A TWEET?!?!

And the 'no shit Sherlock' award goes to.....

WHY DO political interviewers keep trying to make MPs look like out-of-touch bellends by asking them if they know the price of a loaf of bread? And, knowing they are almost certainly going to be asked that question on national TV, why don't MP's ever find out the approximate price of a loaf of bread, so they don't keep looking like out-of. touch bellends? They're as bad as each other. lan Webb, Bury St Edmunds

Gareth Southgate can do this. Why can't Starmer?

Utter bollocks as usual. The only mention of the ECHR was in confirming that it wasn't considered at all by the judges. Deliberate lying to incite hatred and division by the the frog-faced gobshite.

To be the candidate for British Prime Minister of both Donald Trump *and* the Taliban is not a pitch that has ever been tried before
