I think the British media should only use "Tommy Robinson's" real name when reporting on or about him.
Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon doesn't have quite the same appeal.

Certainly no Tory brain waves.

Thames Water removes 100-tonne fatberg from west London sewer Toxic mass chiselled out of Feltham pipes amid campaign to help stop people tipping harmful substances down drains

I wondered where he'd gone, first he hides in a fridge and then the toxic mass went down the drain.

Maybe it's an elision of British and Christian so *Kime* can tick an extra right-wing box.

We've had some great skies in Madrid this weekend.

Wow.

Thanks for the opportunity to publish with you, it was a real pleasure and the team was so brilliantly helpful!

You see, not all news is bad news.
Chin up!

Facebook has become a seething pit of hell. The comments sections in all the UK news feeds I get are as depressing as Twitter.

Of course, but as I am sure you know, the vast majority of carers are women and therefore will be disproportionately affected.

Or just tiny pricks of light.

So women who care for children or other family members are immediately discriminated against.

Someone's got to plan a trip to the moon to harvest all that cheese before it goes off.

People here having a terrible time at a fiesta in Pamplona this weekend. You couldn't hear yourself above the laughter and the music.

If we’re making policy on the basis that “Europeans have it and it no one complains”, could we have France’s retirement age and pension scheme, Sweden’s equality, and Germany’s fan-ownership of football clubs?

It's all just noise, the inane ramblings of a spoilt toddler.

Head shot of Keir Starmer in The Guardian.

I very much hope Starmer's plan of "battling" reform doesn't include simply "mimicking" reform.

And as a side note why do so many news headlines echo the language of war nowadays?

Academia really can be the most toxic work environment (sometimes) and I spent over 20 years working in the media.

Nurse! The screens!

Pretty sure I've seen this chap painting flags on sheep.

Came here to say the same.

I remembered this morning that
Keir Starmer's father was a tool maker. Can you believe it had almost slipped my mind?

They probably despise him too.

Also "Levelling up" was a Tory initiative which didn't work as they just sent the cash to Tory areas rather than using standard measures of poverty/deprivation. There's so much wrong with this headline. As a left leaning paper the Guardian should be celebrating the positive implications. Grr.

Weird headline. Why make it about Reform rather than a Labour government doing what a Labour government should do? How is this a gamble?

It's my opinion that he would believe anything if there's a chance of there being cash in it for him.

I was going to repost this for fun.
