Not a moment too soon. Several years too late.

The wrongful release of prisoners happened 800 times under the Tories.

The media bias and lack of reference to any past is just hideous.

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

Yep. And to think that so many people think this man is some sort of hero is such a sign of our twisted times.

Punnishment has to be sporting. Monetary fines just end up as permission taxes. Deduct points and relegation are the only fair way.

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Say what you like about β€˜Sadiq Khan’s no-go hellscape’ – Britain’s cities prove the rightwing agitators wrong | Jonathan Liew To rightwing populists, places of fluidity and freedom will always be the enemy, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

My son in York Uni says his only complaint is how much fellow students like to tell him "that london is a shit hole"

Gove is a grifter. Getting paid to talk shite by the loony right wing media echoverse even though he knows it's false. He will be reviled in history as much as Cameron, Boris and Truss

Starmer was briefed on Mandelson’s Epstein links before appointing him, say civil servants PM had been given β€˜summary of reputational risks’ but did not know about contents of emails before PMQs, MPs told

This is looking less and less defendable. An appalling decision from Kier Starmer.

Artes Mundi 11 review – smug, stagey, up-itself nonsense for art world wazzocks Six international artists vie for the prize – and none of them seem interested in engaging visitors. I had more fun on Llandudno pier’s ghost train

It's a cheap thrill but I love a bitchy review.

No more blatant example of Question Time’s bias than this.

Goodwin is a Reform activist and GB News presenter - you’d have to be intentionally blind to think he’s an academic

This is really poor by BBC researchers and producers. Goodwin hasn't been an active academic for a number of years, yet is described as one (thus legitimating his relentless Reform activism and constant bad faith misrepresentation of evidence). 1/?
