Penn’s character felt very Strangeloveian. An astonishing physical performance

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Well I'll tell you something that's not funny; right now a deeply transphobic Reform candidate is at home crying like a little girl!

The Arrogant Elite now includes 'normal voters in Greater Manchester.'

The Hoary Handed Honest Downtrodden Folk of Albion still means 'millionaires with a regular national newspaper opinion column and/or GB News presenting slot'. Please update your files.

Loving that the party whose slogan is β€˜Family. Community. Country’ are now claiming that they lost because of β€˜family voting’.

A reworking of Making Plans for Nigel would be apt, too

Reform win historic first seat. What this will mean for reshaping the landscape of British politics.

Greens win historic first by-election. What this will mean for Reform.

All media. All morning.

Nationally, Labour is losing twice as many voters to Greens and Lib Dems as they are to Reform. (John Curtice on BBC)

Evans apologized and said it was the kind of β€œgenuine mistake that we can all make from time to time.”

Reform said it investigated, β€œconsiders it an honest mistake and will not be taking any action,” having accepted his version of events.

This fucking headline.

The article itself is actually a fairly thoughtful piece from an autistic writer herself, but if they'd tried putting that title on something I'd written I'd be bloody furious
