Work in politics. Here to provide political and societal witticisms…or the closest equivalent I can manage. Mainly UK, European and US politics, although I’m an equal opportunities satirist. Also an amateur - and slightly experimental - cook.

Don’t think I’d trust them to order a pizza successfully, let alone a series of targeted military strikes…

As well as verifying whether Khamenei is alive, we might need confirmation on another so-called leader…

If Khamenei is dead, as is being reported, no-one will mourn.

That doesn’t make what the US and Israel have done right though.

Lover, liar, predator: How we took back power from the man who controlled us Shannon, Robyn, Jenni and Natalie teamed up to bring Aaron Swan to justice after decades of abuse.

If you haven’t watched “Lover, Liar, Predator”, you absolutely, positively should.

The bravery of these women and their survivor spirit is mind-blowing - particularly in the face of a justice system that so often fails women and girls.

It continually amazes me the lengths that people will go to, the blood they will spill, the gold they will expend, and the extent to which they will debase themselves, all to shield a corrupt rapist from justice and accountability.

Whichever government - the extremist Islamic government of Iran, the extremist Christian government of the US, or the extremist Jewish government of Israel - “wins” this war, the Iranian people will lose. Only they should decide their future.

Intrigued to know what visa he entered on, given his lengthy criminal record.

Going to assume it was the KKK-1 visa waiver…

It’s the kind of mistake we can all make. You know what it’s like - you’re hate-mongering on the internet, frantically trying to meet your Kremlin quota, and sometimes the odd death threat creeps in amongst the racism, misogyny and treason.

I mean, they can’t really be expected to *read* things…

Reform UK promises to scrap flagship Labour worker and renters’ protections Richard Tice echoes Donald Trump with pledge of ‘great repeal act’ and ‘tight quotas and significant tariffs’

Reform definitely, *definitely* on the side of ordinary working people, other than the ones who get sick, have kids or want somewhere to live.

Go fuck yourself, Reform - seriously, just fuck off, since it’s none of your god damn Christian nationalist business.

And when you think you’ve fucked off enough, fuck off a little bit more just to make sure.

The weirdest group are those who are suddenly aghast about Andrew having being a spoilt, self-entitled scrounger hitherto living on our coin in palatial surroundings, but are totally okay with his elder brother still being a spoilt, self-entitled scrounger living on our coin in palatial surroundings

Once more for the people at the back - fracking will not reduce your bills or deliver energy security. The gas is sold to the highest bidder on international markets and not just plugged straight into the National Grid. All you get is a major health hazard.

Oil and gas executives win, you lose.

All face coverings including burqas will be banned under Reform, Yusuf suggests ALL face coverings in public will be banned under a Reform Government, Zia Yusuf has signalled. The party’s home affairs chief said he “personally supports” outlawing everything from burqas to hood…

Proposing to ban hoods in one of the rainiest countries in the world 🤦🏻

And I assume this ban on face coverings includes your new ICE goons, yes?

Given that people in the UK panic buy milk and toilet roll when there’s 2 centimetres of snow, supermarkets would be like the thunderdome in a real crisis.
