“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918.

Hang on... the rapture's today? I haven't got anything ready... what should I wear?

They've made it so slim! 😂

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

A photo of the front cover of issue 1658 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The cover headline reads "Mandelson Crisis Starmer Acts!" and shows two images of Keir Starmer waving outside Number 10. In the first, he says “Goodbye, Peter – we can’t have anything to do with a friend of a paedo.” In the second, he says “Welcome, President Trump!”

Mandelson Crisis
Starmer Acts!

The new Private Eye is out now.

Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.

SMH - the point of Kobayashi Maru is to see how a prospective captain deals with failure, not to see if he can win!

As a man over 50 - the ability to pause is VITAL!

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail    I would rather  eat Quavers that are six weeks stale,  blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale,  listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,  than read one page of the Daily Mail.    If I was bored  in a waiting room in Perivale,  on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail,  halfway through a circumnavigational sail,  I would not read the Daily Mail.    I would happily read  the autobiography of Dan Quayle,  1001 Things You Can Do With Kale,  selected scripts from Emmerdale, if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail.    Far better to  stand outside in a storm of hail,  scratch a blackboard with a fingernail,  be swallowed by a humpback whale,  than have to read the Daily Mail.    If I was blind   and it was the only thing in Braille,  I still would not read the Daily Mail.    Brian Bilston 

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

If America lost the same proportion of land as Russia is trying to take from Ukraine…

Great - but the new plans seem to ignore Maud which used to be a major junction!

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.

One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member.

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

“Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag.

Officers accused Laura Murton who also had a sign saying ‘Free Gaza’ of supporting a proscribed organisation.”

This is exactly what we said would start happening…

Underrated tweet.

The economic bankruptcy of Rachel Reeves & Labour in office. Not only in hock to Treasury orthodoxy & the broken UK economic model but peddling the discredited right-wing mantra of 'trickle-down economics'. Over 50 years there is no evidence trickle-down works except for the ultra-rich.
