Nowt’s changed - unlike beautiful Bratfud!
Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.
When even GBNews are calling it a “Donald Trump problem”, you know Nigel Farage and Reform UK are in trouble.
I just learned that Anthony Bourdain was 44 when he wrote the book that really launched everything we will remember him for.
Gonna remind myself of this whenever I feel like I'm getting too old to pursue anything new.
It has been this way since time immemorial.
Spending a billion a day on a ‘not’ war.
Meanwhile, all you suckers can starve, die because you can’t afford healthcare or find new treatments for disease. And who the fuck needs education and arts?
We aren’t mad enough!!
Utterly baffling briefing just now with Kemi Badenoch’s spokesman in which he repeatedly insists that “we’re in the war” with Iran and that she supports it, while simultaneously denying she ever said she wants to join the war she thinks we're already in
Keir Starmer calls out Kemi Badenoch's u-turn on Iran.
Starmer: "In the wake of the economic consequences, the leader of the opposition totally abandoned her position."
Who do they represent? Themselves.
Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman missed NINE votes in Parliament last night, all because they had a more important Reform UK rally on the Isle of Wight.
They think they are too big to do their job.
War caused to open someone’s pocket - to extract something from a pocket? - to gain wealth?
that methinks is the curse depending on those that war for a placket
I have a solution that will please both sides
Be a quaint café in a world full of Starbucks.
I want him on the £50
Farage on council tax: 'Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong' Ohh dear he’s in a right filthy mood over flying to Mar-a-Lago telling everyone he was having diner with Trump only for him to not bother showing up..
Beth Rigby let’s bully talk over her time and time again, scared to challenge him him properly 🤦🏼♂️
Dear everyone,
As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included.
A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.
“We do not intend to part from the Americans and we do not intend to be satellites. I am sure they do not want us to be so. The stronger we are, the better partners we shall be”
Harold MacMillan, Conservative Prime Minister.
Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a *single* oil price shock
& will insulate UK against future shocks
Meanwhile Reform UK & Tories want to scrap net zero targets on the grounds of 'cost' - so either foolish or doing donors' bidding

Vampires don't live in castles. Count Dracula lived in a castle because was a Count not a vampire.
I must admit I do like the new Reform UK manifesto:
‘WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO!’
It’s catchy isn’t it?
Bit like one of those wrap songs. 🎤🎵
DJ U-Turn is in da house & layin down sum fat off grooves!

#ReformUK & #Farage are bringing their toxic hypocritical politics to #Leeds.
Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social explains in a @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk letter why we support the #StandUpToRacism counter-demo.
📅 Tuesday 24 March, 5pm, city centre - save the date!
(More details soon.)
#StopFarage
When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.
Farage has a new saying “Wrong, wrong, wrong”
I’ve heard the odious little freak of nature use it twice in past 48 hours to berate and speak over journalists asking any question he doesn’t like..
He’s passionate about the right to free speech.. as long as it’s the right speech he wants to hear❗️
Brexiter Arlene Foster who now sits in the House of Lords wants to cut welfare support and spend the money on defence instead
Brexit costs the UK £90 billion in lost tax income every year,if we didn't have Foster's Brexit we could keep supporting those in need while also ramping up defence spending
It beats the alternative, I suppose.
Worked for an independent BMW/MINI retailer & if you ever had a full stop, after your name on a letter or invoice it wasn't a typo. It was an internal note that you were an arsehole.
“Dear Don, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin', I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom. I visited Mar-Lago, you must not've known I was there.”
A reporter brilliantly called out Donald Trump over his claims Iran bombed their own school and had the entire internet cheering

With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary.
thought the name rang a bell and though he's poshified himself - once upon a time he was "Craig Dillon" - I interviewed this guy back in 2019 as he was doing social media for MPs in a vaguely interesting way - crucially, he seemed entirely normal back then! yet another radicalisation case
