The BBC is getting played here: if a contributor gets to flat out deny having his own words quoted to him on television (with the viewer not told the denial is untrue) then post about "dropping truth bombs". The mission to inform & counter misinformation is flailing if the editorial controls so weak

Liz Truss's real legacy

I would sooner print the money owed and burn it like that scene in the dark knight with Heath Ledger’s Joker than hand it over. By definition the rules between you and the state change over the course of your life, cry harder.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Hurriedly starts learning how to bake. Eggs/Flour etc can’t be that difficult

Not Palantir ferrchissakes!

Do we know if the municipal worker on the left is ok?

Today's announcement is the opposite of what it says it is. It's the formal cancellation of the high speed line across the Pennines.

What's left - additional TRU scope - is a good idea but should be delivered as a business as usual enhancement in 2027, not some far off fanfaron.

I confronted Nick Shirley about his lies in Ukraine. He pretended there was no war.

He said his ‘reporting’ was satire. JD Vance now calls him America’s best journalist.

Important to remember: this was not just a daycare, this is a country where people are being bombed daily.

Part of an FT article entitled 'Who’s who at X, the deepfake porn site formerly known as Twitter'. The image is of Twitter's head of safety, but the image has been altered by Grok to make her look like a clown. The text reads: Kylie McRoberts - Head of Safety. Appointed in April 2024 as X Corp’s Head of Safety, McRoberts leads the company’s work to maintain a safe and engaging platform.

Sublime shithousery from the @financialtimes.com 🤌🏽

What happens when you repeatedly hit a policewoman in the spine with a sledgehammer you dull prick

A lot worse ways to see out 2025

It’s worth mentioning, though it’s been said repeatedly: the Lizzie Line carries 1/6th of UK daily rail passengers (not including the Tube) and has already paid off its entire costs.

And if HS2 had been committed to, without plans being tweaked every 5 minutes, Phase 1 would be opening next year.

Screenshot of an instagram post: phillipjupitus5276 A true story. I worked on a TV pop quiz and one week there was a Doctor Who special hosted by David Tennant. Bernard Cribbins was one of the guests. The audience and all of us on the show were delighted. The word 'legend' gets bandied about too much but in his case it is on the money. There was a lull in proceedings while they changed tapes and Bernard says "Shall I tell a joke?" Tennant goes, "Alright then Bernard..." "A door to door salesman is working one day and he goes up to a very big fancy house in a posh neighbourhood and knocks on the door. After a moment the door opens and standing there is a little boy of no more than five. In one hand he has a huge glass of brandy and he's smoking a cigar. The salesman, a bit taken aback says; "Hello little boy, are your mummy or daddy home?" The child removes the cigar and says; "Does it fucking look like they are?"

And! I’ve been looking all over for this and finally found it

Miniature musical instrument makers admit defeat as violin size requirement for story is declared "too small to build."

This is a genuinely piss poor match right now & that Blackburn corner sums it up.

Fry coming on for Edmunson is not what I was expecting😀

Insipid 45 minutes. Our left hand side of Target & Hamilton is extremely poor.

Case for a couple of HT substitutes.

Good luck entering the with/without Yorkshire’s Xmas lunch debate. When it reaches Mushy Peas level back away slowly.

Now let’s see what all the fuss has been about then😀

Singer Chris Rea dies age 74 Rea was known for a string of hits including Driving Home For Christmas.

This feels quite personal - very sad indeed

All of these skills built up on the project will be scattered to the winds because we have cancelled a chunk of the project and we're not building any more high speed rail.

Who would fight for Britain? Britain’s culture warriors posture as patriots. Yet when faced with real war they flinch.

If you call asylum seekers an ‘invasion’ but won’t lift a finger to deter Russia, you’re not a patriot. New article from me: www.forthedeskdrawer.com/p/who-would-...

A mini-story to cheer you up this morning. The other day my teenage son returned to his locked bike to find the back wheel nicked. We went back yesterday to rescue it - and found this note taped to the frame. We have the wheel again. A very happy Xmas to Ollie and his note-writing other half.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Clucking Bell 😳
