Has he considered leaving well alone and telling the far right to do one?

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

On the one hand, I’ve seen Zarah Sultana with my own eyes. On the other, everything else increasingly suggests she can’t possibly be a real person.

A post from ViperThreat: Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc. The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house. From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on. This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you: You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room. One of the most surreal moments of my life.

Get a load of this. 😆

It's also: you don't know who is going to become what. A society more confident in itself would believe a little bit more in its ability to make anyone thrive and give back.

At his press conference, Nigel Farage is ranting about the Black and White Minstrel Show, Alf Garnett and It Ain't Half Hot Mum in - as far as I can tell – an attempt to justify his "banter" when a schoolboy. He is very much not going down the Richard Tice, "lies" route.

It's like the incredibly tedious "Rachel from accounts" thing. Misogyny in politics remains a powerful force.

There really are only 2 routes to the UK getting core inflation down

Suffering a recession

Rejoining the customs union

It’s remarkable that “sensibles” have talked themselves into believing Starmer’s position is anything other than insane - his EU position is contrary to his economic goals.

A box of snowman and the snowdog cream pies.

Top December pornhub search term

All Starmer had to say was "The law has been interpreted in a way it was not intended and we will legislate to put it right". It was a test of character and he failed.

It really feels like everyone had written a "bond market vigilantes destroy flailing Chancellor who is the new Liz Truss" piece and is really spitting mad that they had to throw it away

"Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them.

"Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects"

Israel is carrying out mass murder as the world watches.

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

Because bullshit like this gets rewarded with positive reporting in the Mail and Telegraph?

"can you increase my credit limit?", usually asked by a border guard at Chicago O'Hare

(If I'm feeling brave I say "sure just give me your address and social security number and I'll get right on it')

Fondly remembering the hot gamer girl who worked at the Gamestop in halifax and kept calling mass effect 'massive effect' until a grown man who kept correcting her got so mad he stormed out of the store in tears. Hope shes thriving

I received an "F" on my dental school paper for writing "the tooth fairy takes 'em while you sleep" and now I'm suing the school for religious discrimination

Might have to cancel my @theobserveruk.bsky.social subscription if they're going down this path

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

People can still do actual journalism apparently, tell the BBC

4 panel comic Panel 1: Red Guy looking way way too happy yells “Hey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” Blue Guy next to him calmly says “Shhh” Panel 2: Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says “You don’t have to do this” Panel 3: Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats “You don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break. Panel 4: Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Asked for comment by Sky News, the IDF responded: "Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them. "Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects in order to remove the threat."

A frost fair on the frozen River Thames

Can't believe it's 363 years since that slag John Evelyn recorded skating on the frozen lake in St James's Park, London, watched by Charles II and Queen Catherine. Still freaks my nut in to this day

Revealed: MPs rack up huge rent expenses while pushing through cuts to benefits MPs are allowed to rent a second home, but while they are simultaneously cutting benefits for the vulnerable, the cost feels hard to swallow.

Senior MPs including Kemi Badenoch, Robert Jenrick and Darren Jones are claiming tens of thousands of pounds a year in taxpayer-funded rent expenses while either calling for or implementing benefit cuts on the poorest

By me, for the Big Issue www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

This story is starting to make me feel I’m going slightly mad - maybe RR overdid the gloom, but the tax rises are paying for a) the welfare U-turns b) the £10bn-plus increase in headroom c) scrapping the two child limit d) bits of other spending eg higher local gov costs 🤷🏻‍♀️

An adorable “cow cat” who is white with black spots and green eyes on a red checkered blanket.

I just found out there is a BEAUTIFUL senior cat named MRS. DOUBTFIRE up for adoption in Centre County, Pennsylvania! So, of course, I had to spread the word.

If you’re in Central Pennsylvania, please help this elegant lady find a home!

The First Amendment gives you the right to say whatever you want in your college paper.

But it does not give you the right to a good grade for it.
