I’ve missed seeing your culinary creations, looks delicious.

Could Private Eye print a full page version of this? Just imagine if hundreds, if not thousands of people held it up in public, how would the police react?

Is Private Eye now a prescribed terror organisation? More on that from us in the new issue - on sale today*

*don’t blame me if you get arrested buying it! (Can hear Peter Cook saying “Unhappy at the circumstances of his arrest” which is very pleasing)

King Charles and Keir Starmer are going to have to pretend that this deranged fascist is a welcome VIP and honour him in September with the full panoply of the State. What a waste of our money and everyone's time in this ludicrous pageant. Bowing down to a dangerous clown busy destroying democracy.

The billionaire and the tax evading gift shops Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital manages a row of high-profile shops at Piccadilly Circus. So why does his team keeping renting them to students who vanish without paying millions of pounds in taxes?

He's one of Britain's richest men. So why does Asif Aziz's property company keep leasing London gift shops to overseas students based in abandoned offices or flytipped car parks — before vanishing without paying millions of pounds in taxes? www.londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-l...

Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag Officers accused Laura Murton who also had a sign saying ‘Free Gaza’ of supporting a proscribed organisation

This is abominable and everyone involved in the series of events which led to it, from the Home Office to the police, should be ashamed of themselves.

Let’s all wear badges in support of a free Gaza and maybe Palestinian flag pins, are the police going to arrest everyone who does?
Solidarity.

Senior Israeli official says all Palestinian adults in Gaza 'should be eliminated' Deputy parliament speaker Nissim Vaturi also called for the destruction of Jenin, warning that it will soon be turned into Gaza

There are many, many recent moments that I'd like to see all the people professing to be deeply outraged by Bob Vylan comment on. From columnists & politicians to the Chief Rabbi. (Perhaps they have but I can't find any...)
I'd probably start with this one.

It's easily to laugh at how obviously wrong Dan Hannan was... fun, too.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

This is a much-needed listen for my fellow Americans! The world is watching! They see the truth!

Thank you, Mike, for your wonderfully kind & encouraging words!🫶🌏

Labour's attempts to blame rising small boat numbers on the weather are "pathetic" says Shadow Conservative Home Secretary Chris Philp

In other news, here's Chris Philp, when he was Immigration Minister, blaming rising small boat numbers on the weather

I’d say they were originally red.

Perhaps Harvard ought to up sticks and move to Canada.

Tom Harwood @tomhfh Of course two EU Presidents get to speak for about an hour before the PM gets a word in. 12:48 PM · May 19, 2025 · 4,256 Views

"For about an hour" was, in fact, for seven-and-a-half minutes each, with the UK PM getting the last word, then leading a Q&A session with media. But this is such an excellent example of the mendacious, awful, biased reporting that has been the hallmark of the entire Brexit debate for a decade. ~AA

And Gary Lineker is forced out on impartiality grounds.

Now playing; anybody out there lucky enough to have seen Willie Nile and his band? Played Bedford a couple of times, fantastic live band.

That’s a hell of a find. I’d love to find another.

When Trump...

-Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers 
-Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him
-Uses state visits to advance his hotel business

It's corruption, plain and simple.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If voters want Reform policies they should vote Reform.
Labour has a proud history of justice and internationalism. Hinder is in the wrong party.

Now playing. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since we first saw Eve Selis, coming to the Stables MK in July.😀

Any employee in a Reform run council….?
