A good day to listen to our proud, joyous history of the BBC: One of the greatest British inventions of the 20th Century. An institution which, even at its worst, is far better than its detractors podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Incredibly, people still take this bloke seriously when he tells them he'll be terraforming Mars by easter. He's an inveterate liar, a child.

More than 50 child asylum seekers still missing after disappearing from Kent care Council data obtained by the Guardian shows 345 children have gone missing in recent years, many probably taken by traffickers

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Lam took a bunch of X posts from far-right racists and so-called "thinktanks" and turned them into a policy that collapsed as soon as anyone actually read it/understood it.

Would have been an absolute travesty if she hadn't won!

Today, it rains only on you No, you're not depressed. You're just British.

Snap Caerphilly by-election analysis: Tactical voting can stop Reform. But Labour have to give tactical progressive voters reason enough to do that. It's not enough to just be a bit less dreadful. iandunt.substack.com/p/today-it-r...

It's not just Badenoch or Jenrick. The entire British conservative project is dying iandunt.substack.com/p/the-empty-...

Coverage of Jenrick today basically amounts to sane-washing. He didn't criticise judges. He claimed there was a conspiracy by certain judges, who he had discovered and could number, to undermine British law and create open borders.

Exactly the right language and tone from Starmer here -no nonsense about "legitimate concerns" or weasel words about cost/practicality.

Now government needs to put his money where the PM's mouth is (in policy terms)

What an impossibly ungracious man he is, really. It’s not news, of course, but he does somehow have the ability to be so uncouth, so impolite, that it really takes your breath away.

Glorious bit of shitposting by Khan here. Top man.

If you read nothing else today please read this. Dunt hits the nail on the head with a sledgehammer. And if you are a journalist please spread his message far and wide.

Why indeed?

Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years for plotting military coup in Brazil Former president sought to ‘annihilate’ country’s democracy after losing 2022 election

This is how you protect your democracy. The US is a demonstration of what happens when you don't. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Every single time I go to look at Twitter there's about 20 notifications and it's mostly Tommy Robinson. I don't follow him, I don't follow any of his admirers, and yet that's who it wants me to see. Astonishing that the UK government's position on this platform remains "it's fine"

He’s always so shit in the face of decent questioning. Absolutely amazing how rarely it happens.

Another champion of free speech?

This'll be very telling when he comes to speak. If Farage uses his appearance in front of that committee to encourage a foreign state to bully his own country, he'll have crossed a very specific line.

Reform: Stop hiding from press scrutiny! Nigel Farage says he welcomes freedom of speech, even if people find it offensive. Surely that should apply to freedom of the press too? So why have Reform's Nottinghamshire councillors - who control ...

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Outstanding.

I have proposed before that smol boys of age 7-12 should be consulted on the correct insults to use. They know exactly how to hit where it hurts. Once their term is over, we hand over to the teenage girls age 12-15 for pure violence.

63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months
8% of people think it fell

Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023
[It is falling further in 2025]

Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least

I really think it's important to constantly emphasise that Farage wants to help the Taliban murder and torture people.

Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza — The Guardian Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital

Israel, which does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza…has killed 237 journalists since the war started, according to Gaza’s government media office.

Total < 2000

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Literally Orwell. ‘1984’ is here.

The only surprising part is that they haven’t done this yet.

I also wonder when it becomes feasible that anyone still there is complicit in and/or comfortable with the racist bile that subsumes the site.
