He never looks at their faces

But they all work for him and so are invisible

This isn’t a picture of Mel Stride and the shadow chancellor being misidentified on ConHome feels quite indicative of where the Tories are at.

Jim Gavin got a dose of the Glenroes and now we all have to stay up late on a Sunday evening with the stress of it all

I think there was more than one Milliband in that leadership election, which made it a bit crowded

Might see next week

Yay for you

I'm so sorry. You'd think they might leave off for a bit when everyone is feeling so rotten but, no. Beyond their imagination. I'm not even sure that the concern for Palestinians is empathy so much as an opportunity to score points.

There are 2 police officers outside the synagogue on my street. That's not normal

Or that London is a big place, had 4 EPL teams playing today, an NFL match, a rugby international, a large demonstration, and a heightened terror alert with hundreds of buildings needing extra patrols. And with many more sports and other events tomorrow. Bit stretched atm.

It's common for police from different regions to be deployed elsewhere if requested due to staffing issues. I've seen police from NI, Manchester, even Scotland in London before now.

Next Tory leader? Rise of Katie Lam reflects rightward shift on migration Shadow Home Office minister who tweets in language of hard-right populism is talked of as future of conservatism

'You go tell that J D Vance if he comes round here again I'll be waitin'

The Spectator podcast about Charlie Kirk had some of the most confidently expressed nonsense I've heard in a long time. Especially the dodgy theological opinions. Two columnists in violent agreement and near complete ignorance

“I’m not somebody who peaks on day one!” I scream, as I cross the finish line three hours after all of my competitors

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Yup. One of the reasons my year 7 kid wouldn't engage with her online lockdown lessons was because she didn't like how she sounded

Last episode of Foundation?

Hot and cold running water

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Manchester Council of Mosques have issued this statement in sadness, shock and solidarity with the Jewish community about this attack at the synagogue in Manchester

I'm just so, so sorry

I have watched his bit and the bit after Kuenssberg asks the question about 20 times and my ribs hurt.

Janey, Janey, Janey, still making me laugh from beyond.

I think this is why the attack on ILR is so telling. They used to say it was about 'queue-jumping' and 'illegal entries'. But if they come after the people who followed the rules, filled the forms, paid the fees, went to the interviews, then they show it was never about the rules.

Gavin Newsom responds to whatever the heck that Pete Hegseth speech was

Three galaxy sized egos in close proximity cannot end well

Will the new Viceroy get a uniform? A nice plumed hat perhaps? An official residence in which to receive delegations and hold press conferences? I guess he'd like to feel important again. Glory hunting git that he is.

New organisations will spring up simply to certify volunteering hours
