People like Donald get worse if they’re allowed to. His disgusting racism is increasingly blatant and dangerous because the Republicans, with their silence, encourage it. They are complicit in every awful thing they allow their hideous leader to do.

Says the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, then killed thousands during Covid by being a dithering fool, then threw away his massive majority because he couldn't follow his own rules. Sit down and shut up you useless tit.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1646 of Private Eye magazine. The headline reads "ADOLESCENCE" in bold red text, followed by a subheading: "A SHOCKING STORY OF TOXIC MASCULINITY, BULLYING AND ONLINE BRAINWASHING THAT LEADS TO TRAGEDY." The cover features three images of Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and Elon Musk, each wearing MAGA hats, with their names captioned below. The bottom text asks, "WILL THESE DANGEROUS TEENAGE BOYS ALL END UP IN CELLS?", drawing a comparison between political figures and wayward adolescents.

CV? It’s Clarrie, who worked there for years. What’s with this outbreak of HR ism and making Clarrie grovel? It’s horrible. She’s a kindly old woman: why not treat her that way? 😑 #TheArchers
