Rich in Glasgow

All of this is Facebook and X fuelled nonsense. And you worry how many folk listen to this and go “yeah, finally someone is saying it”

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

This is where 15 years of Tory govt gets you. Yet more transferral of public assets and money going into private accounts.

The Mail calls out racism on its back page, while promoting unsubstantiated, outright racism on its front page.

Was it the neurosis?

Operation Impotent Prick

An incredible show. Never understood why it was never re-aired by the BBC.

Before the month ends I really should point out somewhere that this month marks 20 years since @charliebrooker.bsky.social and I started making the Screenwipe pilots, and my first official directing credit. Here’s the first ep to see how far £47,667 went back then

400 jobs cut at Manchester United: "savings" of £7.4m.
Potential cost of the sacking of Ruben Amorim and his staff: £15.9m.

A selection of text from an article by Jonathan Liew of the Guardian on Matt Goodwin

Such a great article yet ultimately quite depressing. This section is a microcosm of where our "main" political parties have so massively failed.

The perfect review

Lost my phone in London, with four credit cards and £150 cash in the case. Returned to me within 21 minutes. This hellhole of a city eh.

The old ‘it was a cabal of left wing loons who enacted all these right wing policies’ argument. Pitiful stuff.

The Punks have been picked apart by their deal with the devil (private equity).

Dear UK media,
If you’re going to fall for Farage’s every cry for attention, FFS, be ready with the facts that show that, not only is he peddling anti-immigrant sentiment/racism for votes, but he’s lying about the stats too.
It’s dangerous and dishonest.
Please say so.
Thanks

This brave woman speaks for millions of British people.

Meanwhile these thugs behave in an entirely menacing manner and nothing is done.

Rarely mentioned but about much of Ratcliffe’s business ‘success’ is based on draining public money (very common among these ‘self made tycoons’)

Who can blame him? Poisoning the Scottish Labour party’s campaign ahead of the critical 2026 elections.

It’s a mystery how this happened.

do you think patrick stewart and the guy whose hands were playing the flute in that tng episode ever explored each others bodies

The man plays the plausible deniability card from the bottom of the deck. And they keep falling for it.

I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.

I have never followed this comic of a newspaper, but this is an excellent use of their profile.

There's no reason to accept this as normal, though. Much of Starmer and Labour's unpopularity is not misfortune but his own doing. Mandelson was a choice. Consistently pursuing policy positions designed to appeal to people who will not vote for you - and alienating core supporters - is a choice.

And it’s gonna ruin all the fucking pubs with awful ruggers fans, the cunts.

Infantino really is a premium waxwork piece of shit isn't he. A moral vacuum in a suit.

Punch is more a commercial portfolio management firm than a landlord or brewery. Running my Dad’s local pub into the ground with poor landlords
