Screengrab from a promotional email from Netflix, plugging an upcoming biopic about 1980s multiple murderer Margaret Thatcher.

Hey, Netflix algorithm. You literally could not have got it more wrong than this suggestion. I'd be more likely to watch Jimmy Saville narrating 'Bernard Manning: naked at last' than this.

We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

"The need is urgent for some coalition of politicians to take the lead and state baldly that Brexit was an error."

"The public is clearly ready to see Brexit reversed. There cannot be a single industry that would oppose it. The need is for leadership."

Zack Polanski, "The four wealthiest people in this country have more wealth than 20 million people"

"Inequality in our society is absolutely huge"

"We need to be taxing the super rich"

Green Party's Zack Polanski to Reform UK's Zia Yusuf,

"Do you ever think that immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?"

Hyuuuge, bigly congratulations on the well-deserved Nobel Peace Prize to Donald J Trump today. Wait, hang on - what? 'Maria Corina Machado'? But - that doesn't sound anything like 'Donald J Trump'. Sounds like a woman! In fact, like a latin woman. From where? Venezuela? Oh, don't wake Donnie up!

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

ANTIFA:

By way of a reminder folks...

You voted for Cameron
Everything got worse

You voted for Johnson
Everything got worse

You voted for brexit
Everything got worse

You voted for Truss
Everything got worse

If you vote for Farage

You have no idea how bad your life will become.

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

😂

Robert Jenrick’s comments about Handsworth are a pathetic attempt to stoke hatred by invoking white supremacist tropes.

Everywhere in the UK is worse off than it was 15 years ago. Why? Because of Tory austerity and local government ministers like Jenrick gutting council funding.

I'm surprised Kuenssberg didn't just invite Farage, Gove and Viktor Orban on to discuss what they all think of the Greens.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Victoria Derbyshire, "You described Reform UK as the right wing fascists of 1930s, why?"

Lord Heseltine, "Because that's what they are"

I'm watching it there right now - was the first promotional screen when I started the app.. hope you manage to find it before we overturn OL's lead!

Perverts make for bad presidents.

It’s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

😬 awkward

Prats deserting a sinking shit. Or something.

This letter appeared in the Yorkshire Evening Post on 7 October 2025. A supporter of the Labour Party is hoping it will do more to undo damage caused by Brexit, now its senior leadership is more willing to acknowledge the damage it is causing.

Now Starmer and local MP & Chancellor Rachel Reeves admit #BrexitReality 👏, will they now go further & undo the #BrexitShambles? This #Labour loyalist in @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk hopes so. Wants #Labour to "challenge toxic #Farage & #Reform agenda - including #Brexit". #RejoinEU Time #Labour led?

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

In the month of the 100th birthday of Margaret Thatcher, let us pause to reflect on what a cruel, heartless twat she was.

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

Water bills: millions of households in England could face even bigger rises CMA poised to give verdict after appeal by five firms for permission to increase bills higher than allowed by Ofwat

England households could bigger water bills as the competition regulator prepares to give verdict on industry appeal.

36% rise already approved by OFWAT.

People will continue to be robbed. Companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the scam. Nationalise water.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

Wind is currently generating over 4 times as much energy as natural gas. It's actually generating more than all other sources combined, right now. Just wanted to make you aware of that and see how maddening it is that Badenoch wants to repeal the Climate Change Act.
