Haha! Slightly different vibe I imagine!

If Matt Goodwin knocked at my door, I wouldn’t speak to him in English. He’d get some choice Anglo-Saxon instead.

Obviously, NEH grants never should have been clawed back in the first place, DOGE is a lot of crap, and all grants should be reinstated, but if you want to feel PARTICULAR rage about how half-assed and cruel the whole process is, read the AI rationale for terminating the TEAMS METS grant

It’s by Wurrance Telephene, who broke the story about Jo Swinson and the squirrels, so I’m going with yes.

Fair play to the Quakers for being seen as a threat to the English state for a solid 375 years.

Gotta say, the Greens’ comms team are knocking it out of the park at the moment. But they have so much good material to work with…

Spurs on the verge of relegation, Star Wars entirely run out of puff, Dr Who fallen off its perch - has my childhood finally come to an end?

Nobody could have foreseen this

Chicanery, charlatanry, and shithousery. Probably.

Saltire semiotics explained:

Are there also union flags? Cunts.

No union flags? Probably sound.

Look after yourself. Hope things look a bit brighter soon.

Twitter user Cam647236830367: You can't transfuse blood between the different races, or species of man. The same goes for plasma & organs, the only exceptions are between those directly related at most, anything else is pushing it. Race is not a "social construct", but biological reality, you're a hypocrite.

Why are they called Juliet balconies when the most fundamental thing about Juliet’s balcony was that it was in fact an actual balcony

We’re all about to get a dose of organisational Mounjaro…

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

Though the choice of language suggests they haven’t yet managed to digest this apparent revelation…

Some people in Principal Skinner’s office are now saying that the children were not, as they had previously thought, wrong.

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)

Very strange, and very funny. At least, I thought so!

Side note, but it is still striking how little Reform actually look like the rest of Britain in basically any polling and yet their base is treated as quintessentially authentic.

Congratulations to all of our members who got elected, as well as those endorsed by us. More from us in the coming days. #ucu

Exclusive: the progressive voters abandoning Labour Daily Politics Daily Politics from the New Statesman > ٠١٠٠٠ ٠ • 17m Labour is losing the voters it used to count on, a new study reveals. In the aftermath of the Green Party's triumph in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and with local elections in London councils and other major cities coming up, Labour is losing the left progressive voters it could once rely on having "nowhere else to go". Now, the biggest study ever of these voters - shared exclusively with the New Statesman - reveals the true risk to Labour's future of leaving them behind. This work, done by surveying 10,000 voters and a randomised control trial style approach, has found out who the so-called progressive defectors are, why they're deserting Labour, and what impact this could have on Labour's electoral prospects.
