The White House landscape now matches our national political one.

Another very good reason for not using the phrase, "we're pregnant".

What she wore was never the problem: clothing and the myth of consent It’s never about what she wore – it’s about what he chose to do. Clothes are not consent and no outfit invites assault

For some reason they think it will make them less culpable. They're so keen on downplaying how bad what they did was that they don't even hear themselves saying that they valued their relationship as less than nothing.

Join us in signing and sharing this petition to prevent layoffs of over 400 people (both academic & professional services staff) at Lancaster University. We are all at risk and it's a scary time.

They gave the priest the right to do that when they chose to get married in a church. If they didn't want to adhere to the standards expected they should have chosen a registry office.

Every time I see people only caring about violence against women and girls when it’s done by β€œforeign” or β€œbrown” people I realise they don’t give a shit about violence against women and girls, they care about data that backs their racial bias.

If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.

We ask a lot from small towns that take migrants Norfolk market town of Diss has quietly accommodated families since 2023 but the mood changed this week

I spoke to women sexually harassed by staff, I spoke to a woman trapped in her room because she was visually impaired and no one would assist her.

scabies break outs, staff bullying, kids held in rooms with no windows.

Janice doesn’t mention them in her article

That & getting angry over β€˜no’ is all she needs to leave him even without the safety of the girls.

I’m puzzled as to why he revealed himself though. Play would be nothing to actual targets there.

Earlier this year, I lost my beloved job at my beloved Observer when the Guardian, in its great wisdom, gave the newspaper away to a podcast company...who promptly sacked me.

So, forgive my delight today, in being nominated for FIVE awards in the British Podcast Awards!!

Farage promises to build more jails
by Our Reform Correspondent
Nick Money

BRITAIN'S next prime minister, Nigel Farage, has vowed to expand the prison service to deal with the increasing lawlessness in Broken Britain.

Farage said it was imperative that we have more prisons to accommodate law-breakers such as Reform MPs.
Said Farage, "No, let me finish! We are looking at hundreds more Reform MPs after the next election, and with our vetting systems we are guaranteed to have a vast number of criminal members of Parliament, who have stolen public money or pushed their girlfriends down the stairs."

When asked how much all this would cost, the Reform leader explained in great detail that he didn't have a clue and couldn't care less.

Farage also promised to send the worst offenders to El Salvador, following a successful pilot programme sending Reform supporters to live in Dubai.

When so much of the media rolls out the comfy red carpet for Farage, Private Eye trips him up and milkshakes him.
Be more Private Eye.

Just read that out to my dad. Instant reaction! "So may people do it! Why do they do it?! They think it makes them sound clever, but it doesn't...". This went on for a while. Long term complaints in our family - me/I/myself, which/that & less/fewer πŸ˜†.
