How’s the Pimlico Plumber bloke tonight?

I bet his waste pipe is pulsating in Dubai.

For good or for ill, some potential Reform voters will be more repulsed by graceless bad losers than they are by racist liars.

I’m in a small bar in Porto and I think this calls for another Super Bock. Thanks @mrjamesob.bsky.social !

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

A friend asked, β€œSo which political party do you support now?”

My reply, β€œAny party that will prevent Reform winning in my constituency.”

Please vote - even if it’s defensive.

One thing I’m not looking forward to when Notts storm into the Premiership is VAR.

I’ve just seen a Pizza Express large Pepperoni and two cans of Sure deodorant being delivered to Loddon Valley nick.

Should I read anything into this?

At the Winter Olympics, diverse communities come together to showcase the power of humanityβ€”fearless spirit, unwavering determination, mutual respect, and a love that transcends borders.

The perfect antidote to Farage and his fascist fucks.

After school, Arthur wanted a Chupa Chups lolly.

Peeling that wrapper off was so impossibly difficult I started having flashbacks to the time I tried to cuff the most violent prisoner I’ve ever encountered β€” except the lolly put up more of a fight.

Once upon a time this was just a decision away.

I don’t regret missing out on two European Cups, a Super Cup, First Division title (now Premiership) and four League Cups.

COYP!

The Grifters Are Circling β€” Don’t Let Them In. - What should we talk about today? Keir Starmer is, by all reasonable measures, a decent man β€” someone who has consistently chosen steadiness over spectacle. His supposed β€œcrime” is not malice but naivety: trusting an individual mired ...

Maybe Deform UK are right?

I mean if 30p Lee Anderson - a moron with the IQ of a potato - can become an MP then, by definition, Britain is broken.

Suella Braverman - another vile specimen - has defected to Farage's limited company stating the usual corrupt message - β€œBritain is broken.”

You and your rancid fuckwits are the architects of the arson!

Can’t wait for Richard Littlejohn’s column about how Starmer should invade Andorra to prove he’s as β€˜ruthless’ as Trump.

Ah yes, BREXSHITβ€”the masterstroke that transformed the UK from β€˜Global Player’ to β€˜Global Punchline.’

On the bright side, we’re now so economically irrelevant that even the US wouldn’t bother invading… unless they fancy a hostile takeover of Greggs.

A whole fried chicken, butchered & cooked at Inyun in Brentford. Delicious.

A whole fried chicken, butchered & cooked at Inyun in Brentford. Delicious.

Thinking of becoming a food influencer in 2026 πŸ˜‰
There’s a new little Korean place in Brentford where they butcher & fry a whole chicken for you. Magnificent! They only do ten a day but also offer tenders, wings etc. Anyway, it’s called Inyun, just by Kew Bridge & it’s absolutely fantastic.
