What, Dubai Dick, two high profile representatives of one of the most inept governments of the last 100 years and an unelected ghoul. Yeah. Superheroes.

Hi, my name is Suella Braverman. I was a minister in the government that broke Britain. I am so furious that I was a part of breaking Britain that I want you to vote for me to fix the f ups I made because it had nothing to do with me whatsoever.

rewatching peep show. remember when accidentally making friends with someone who shows themselves to be a raging fascist felt beyond of the realm of possibility, and how it was funny because it was such a wildly atypical, unfortunate, and therefore quintessentially mark corrigan thing

If it's true that Brewdog is in severe financial difficulties and they may disappear, remember that you can always enjoy their flagship beer by pouring grapefruit juice into a can of Kestrel lager.

What I suspect will happen if Reform win is a year later their poll rating will be in the dirt and the papers will be full of regretful voters saying β€œOh no I didn’t want this” and I will scream until I vomit blood

If you like making love to music, put on a live album. That way, you get applause every two to four minutes.

Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

Very good report on that period and the subsequent decline, if you've a spare 30 mins.

Look what happened when the Tories took over. Covid just accelerated the mess that had already started.

Yup...working in the NHS in that period was challenging but very rewarding, an absolutely ruthless focus from the top on busting waiting lists, improving flow, minimising A&E waits, improving quality....and the resources to deliver where there...good times.

2024 Reform UK voters are also less likely to describe themselves as anti-Russia (48%) than other voters (66-79%)

I prefer it when β€˜Traitors’ describes the TV program, not the people potentially electing the next government.

This disqualifies Farage from any office in the UK whatsoever on national security grounds alone. Tankie nonsense.

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

Maybe he looked tired because he was tired from listening to the endless whining bullshit of cockends like Zahawi?

Got to love a poem with an

This is almost high art.
