Take a bow, @privateeyenews.bsky.social.

Why? He’s no Winston Churchill.

If I were Trump or Hegseth, I would not be in any great hurry to accelerate Christ’s return.

A call out to Class Reps everywhere.

As long as the Prime Minister can separate the UK/US relationship from the UK/Trump relationship he won't go far wrong.

The Hardy Boys are obstinately refusing to attend World Book Day as 'The Hardy Boys' and instead want to go as Harry Potter characters. Do they not learn about cliché in Year 2?

Any idea what percentage of American materiel is being used up in the Middle East? Asking for a friend. The friend is America.

Trump really was bored of peace.

Is this the Rhyl life?

I thought Operations Epic Furry was the thing about litter boxes in schools?

When is Trump proclaiming himself Shah of Iran? He may not speak much Farsi but he’s completely fluent in Farcey.

Pinch, punch, first of the month.

I feel like I haven’t got a clue what is happening right now, so there is one thing I’ve got in common with Trump.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Be glad you’re not Duncy, I’m Maxie and the 9yo is not letting up.

I’m not a General but bombing a country in the hope that its people will effect regime change doesn’t sound like a military plan. And it sure isn’t a diplomatic one.

The way the Government is introducing its jury trial disfigurement legislation as an emergency is what you might expect if we were under threat of nuclear attack not taking an axe to an Oak that has grown for nearly a 1,000 years.

Who wants a regulated sexual economy? Danny Kruger MP, that's who.

If you want a regulated sexual economy Danny Kruger's your man. Here's a post I've written asking what that is: open.substack.com/pub/counselo...

Coming home to the happy chaos of children has to be one of the greatest joys a man can know.

‘We respect the decision of the jury’ is the stock response of the CPS to an acquittal. Those 7 short words tell you this is not a police state. I don’t see how Sir Keir Starmer can believe them or he wouldn’t be intending GBH to jury trial itself. If you believe them - ACT NOW.

By the turn of the 20thC, George Hendrik Breitner was at the peak of his career both as a painter and photographer. This work, influenced by photography, is modern in its appearance but the composition owes more than a nod to Dutch 17thC interior paintings.

Some countries already do this, I believe they are called presidents. Although isn’t it interesting how much the hereditary instinct endures: Gandhis, Kennedys etc.

Baby Raclette: Came into the kitchen last night to find the 18mo had strewn sliced Gouda all over the underfloor heating.

Sack that used to hold affidavits.

Label on an affidavits sack

I still get a thrill when I open up an archive box and find the original sack that used to hold the records. This is an 18th Century sack used for holding King's Bench affidavits [TNA KB 1/3]

If you're a Labour MP and you're gearing up to take an axe to jury trial now might be a good moment to remember what you got into politics for because I am certain it was not this.
