There is an inflatable beachball under his right arm that is too big for the little man to hold on to. The caption underneath says "Fighting-age man flees country of origin, seeks refuge" ---News Thump--- Stephen Yaxley-Lennon fled the UK to avoid a court case.

Billionaires don't like it when you make fun of fascism, apparently.
Very interesting post. Thank you. Btw, I'll be in that part of the world in a couple of weeks. Excited!

The UK's most famous feline, Larry the cat, marks 15 years as the country's chief mouser patrolling the corridors of power of 10 Downing Street.
These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

"We've got a party that pretends to be an insurgent party, an anti establishment, anti-elite party, and yet it's stuffed full of old Tory retreads."
Caroline Lucas has more vision, drive and integrity in her thumb that all of the twats, ghouls and self-serving dildos in Reform combined
She's a class act. And the reform guy can only smirk. He's a millionaire so none of it will affect him.

It wasn't "the day after" Mandelson story broke, but six days later, and it was also on FT front. Reform story wasn't "silly". Head of Kent DOGE told FT they hadn't found any savings, denied it when Farage had a tantrum, and had to resign.
Ditto! Small wins eh.
