On this day in 1963, the Beatles taped their appearance with Morecambe & Wise. The show was broadcast on the 18th of April 1964.

if i worked in a White House with an elderly and ailing president who had a hard time staying awake, i would simply recommend against having 3 hour cabinet meetings that are boring af and pointless and best remembered for the fact said president is sleeping on camera

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Adviser removed ‘enemy’ from China spy case witness statement Matthew Collins says he deleted the word from the final draft in 2023 because it did not reflect the Conservative government’s view

this is utterly hilarious, turns out that it was the Tories who took the word "enemy" out of the crucial witness statement in the collapsed China spy case

over to you, Kemi Badenoch?

Watching from afar, it is also a symptom in how much of the UK, London based media ignores parties not (yet) relevant for Westminster.

UK polls hardly ever show the strength of the SNP or PC, let alone Northern Ireland's parties.

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

“You can't just namecheck a book. You've got to read it.”

Professor of Economics @mazzucatom.bsky.social joined @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to discuss the UK PM Keir Starmer’s use of terminology borrowed from her book.

Criticism as Reform-led council set to spend £75,000 on new flags The council says union jack flags will be flown in 82 locations in a bid to foster "community spirit".

A £75,000 spend on flags by this council, at a time when services to the elderly and young people are being reduced is bloody disgraceful. Ladies & Gentlemen, this is how the Reform Party behaves when it has power! No thank you! #ReformParty

Nigel Farage’s ‘PMQs strike’ ridiculed as records show he hasn’t asked for extra question in months It turns out Farage hasn't put his name forward to ask a question for months

leftfootforward.org/2025/10/nige...

Farage and his protests are as fake as his beer drinking photos.

Image of police searching near a wooded area

🚨 Police called in on search for Nigel Farage who’s been missing since Reform’s defeat in Caerphilly..

Reform members called in Police soon after the result when he was nowhere to be found in Caerphilly

The search moved to England but despite attempts to drawn him out with a Sky interview no sign🤷🏼‍♂️

Not a lie but it is inaccurate. It has been a Labour Parliamentary seat for over 100 years and a Sennedd seat since it's creation.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Israel murdered 44 people in Gaza today because one of Israel's bulldozers hit unexploded ordinance and blew up.

So they blamed Hamas and used it as an excuse to go on a killing spree.

Now they say they will go back to the Ceasefire.

Blackstone to pledge £100bn UK investment during Trump visit The US private equity giant which jointly owns Legoland's parent company, will commit to investing the sum in British assets over the next decade, Sky News learns.

The so called “investment” is actually the buying up of former council housing to be turned into rental properties as they do in the USA!

Omg 😂

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

A page from the Henry Jackson Society website for Andrew Fox, Research Fellow, which says he joined HJS in 2014 and that 'Andrew specialises in Defence, the Middle East, and disinformation'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

The fact Starmer has spoken up more for some foreign football hooligans than British citizens captured in international waters a few weeks ago speaks volumes

He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.
