No. 10 spokesperson responding to a far right idea: "lol how will you pay for Dachau?"

No. 10 spokesperson three days later: "On reflection, Dachau is bad"

Someone at some point will figure out when exactly this happened… but we have completely normalized psychosis. Trump. Stephen Miller. Speeches that were completely unhinged from reality. Delusional. Psychotically paranoid.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package.

Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage?

Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Check out the chyron -- they are shilling their merch store during a funeral. The sheer vulgarity of these petty-hucksters-gone-big is wild to me. Government by fashy used car salesmen, I swear to God. It will never ever not be fundamentally strange to me that their own base find this appealing.

Sir Alan Lord Sugar is accused of being unable to create a coherent sentence, so responds by telling them to take a long walk on a short pie.

'Join us later on BBC News when I'll be thoroughly grilling Ed Davey on the costings of Lib Dem policies, but first here's a slavish acceptance of the latest Reform press release.'

My ex shouting through the letterbox at 2am.

Guy who read that weird memo about Charlie Kirk's superhuman neck and starts an intense kung fu training regimen for his neck.

Every day he's doing 500 neck crunches, he's subjecting his neck to progressively more powerful blows, etc.
