Andrew does still have a title.
Clue: it’s pretty close to mine.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Today is backing this up 100%, regardless of the result

Headline: Badenoch: Curb students taking ‘rip off’ degrees such as English

Kemi Badenoch branded chocolate including the slogan “When Labour negotiates Britian loses”

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

Kemi Badenoch: let's do this in Britain

This, btw, is what ICE operating in US communities looks like.

This is what Kemi Badenoch wants for the UK.

Every single journalist and media outlet in the UK should play this clip to Badenoch and ask her why she wants this for the UK on our streets.

Liz Truss: Britain faces its MAGA moment Speaking to Newsweek, Truss is back, with a radical new message for a British right which could be on the cusp of transforming Britain.

Asked by Newsweek whether she thought Tommy Robinson had been "unfairly demonised", Liz Truss says: “Yes, I do.” A Conservative Party serious about ever regaining power would have slung her out long ago.

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

She was also fantastic alongside Helena Bonham Carter in the BBC comedy Love Nina

‘My father came to the UK to find safety – but he died alone in an asylum hotel’ Victor Hugo Pereira Vargas killed himself in his hotel room at a Home Office asylum hotel in October 2023

When I got the coroner report along with my funeral referral I was shocked at the litany of indifference and failures that pushed this man towards taking his life. Now that the inquest has finished, others can finally read about it too.

The secret of comedy is timing. The best time to use comedy against autocrats is when they’re trying to suppress it. Mock these nazi ghouls relentlessly. They hate it, and it might be the only fun we get for a while.

Thank God we don’t have the cancellation of satirical comedy in this country. I can’t wait to see how they deal with the Trump visit on The Mash Report, Mock The Week and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order!

Is a Times sub deploying clumsy typography to signal what they really think of the story?

That slippery slope to authoritarian rule America where the Govt decides what jokes on TV are allowed.

Bucks Fizz have let themself go.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists 

But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Yes!

Ian Dunt, as unequivocal as ever...

"This is not a time for the tentative, for the petrified, for the hollow cunts who wish to soften fascism rather than eradicate it. It's a time for the people who understand the severity of what is happening."

Just for fun, I'm going to give you some clips of the hate mail I got from being placed on Kirk's TPUSA Dangerous Professor list. Buckle up:

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

"I understand it is normally the role of opposition leaders to jump up and down and call for resignations – as we’ve seen plenty of from the Conservatives already. Obviously if the ethics advisor says Angela Rayner has broken the rules, her position may well become untenable. But as a parent of a disabled child, I know the thing my wife and I worry most about is our son’s care after we have gone, so I can completely understand and trust that the deputy prime minister was thinking about the same thing here. Perhaps now is a good time to talk about how we look after disabled people and how we can build a more caring country."
