Absolutely. Local papers have tons, maybe via agencies

This must be an awful era to have health anxiety because the press run *SO many* 🚨’thought I had an itchy nose but I had stage 4 cancer’ 🚨stories. GPs must be dismayed too. Even tho you logically know the ‘it was just an itchy nose’ outcomes don’t make the papers, it has an effect

I think a problem of equal size is Sultana in charge would be like letting me run GCHQ after 5 Proseccos

Sultana and Corbyn act like they were put together in a competition by Simon Cowell and now they're contractually obliged to go on tour

It’s been reported that Zarah Sultana plans to hold her own separate rally in Liverpool ahead of Your Party’s conference, and even that she could launch her own faction. With next to no hope of a united front at the conference, the question now is whether Your Party’s founders can remain civil long enough for it to survive much beyond its birth.

There will come a day when I tire of reading about the Your Party uncivil war.

Today is not that day.

‘It’s one of those’ is a phrase that gets criticised for being meaningless cliche but every time someone shrugs: ‘it’s just one of those’ I know exactly what they mean. It conveys 1. We’ve seen it before & 2. We can’t do anything, so why stress. Essence of British

Seriously who’s doing their comms, Basil Brush

This is it. If you ad hominem attack all critics, many making justified criticisms, the optics are obviously bad.

But that’s politics full stop.

Looks like someone’s got a crush Twll

I saw she complained of mansplainers the other day. Who does she think that will bring onside? She’s the Chancellor not the sole woman in an IT department. This Government can’t see a rake without stepping on it & then beating themselves to death with it

Argh the loveliest message to receive! Thank you! Xx

Wait what

I know lots of people who love a Do, and the associated frock action and mingling, but I am fully aware I will be the person who utters ONCE THE SWELLING GOES DOWN just as the room falls silent for a word from the CEO

I think as ever online, the boring middle is probably the best place to be, but butters no meme parsnips

Some of the hardcore introversion memes seem to be ‘I can be as thoughtless & insular as I want & still demand to be included 💔 you hate me because I’m an indoors person! 😭’ no Brian they stop inviting you because you don’t text back or turn up

Realising how many empowerment memes for women boil down to this

Any tips? Mine are typically underwhelming

A former Plaid Cymru Chief Executive is now being paid £190k a year as the BBC's Nations Director. This is living proof that the BBC is infected with left-wing bias right to the top-

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

‘I love being middle aged, I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks anymore’ says person not previously known to be behaviourally circumscribed by this concern

My auto correct just delivered me the words ‘Egg Tharp’ if you need a protagonist name for a deeply felt portrayal of boyhood in a touching coming of age saga that crosses the ‘Fleischman Is In Trouble’ space

Is it that they’d want the gratification of definitive outcome & gratitude & clear resolution, & the world’s biggest problems are too messy & open ended? Like Geldof & Live Aids complexities of impact. basically lasting systemic change isn’t One Great Man theory of history sexy.

I think you’ll find publishing got there first

Great Scott!

Trouble is I feel bad being a shit to the poor person having to man that phone line so I’m just firm but polite. It feels like kicking off at the receptionist in lobby to critique the CEO :(

Ooh really?

The papers keep confusing ‘rich people who don’t self identify as rich’ with ‘people of minimal resources who are being dealt unbearable & unjust taxation blows in this communist nightmare’

You say that but was there a freeze frame, large text captions and a track by the Fontaines
