This is the funniest post I've read in ages.

Then we have this - I call it The Delirium Desk - where Ms Truss does her opening and closing monologues, 90% of which are devoted to raving against the "bourgeoisie establishment". Against a backdrop which, if it were on a dropdown menu, would be called "Bourgeoisie Establishment Basic". 2/

As a side note, I resent Phillips' assertion that back in the 1970s and 1980s white school kids like me were routinely racist. It is absolute bollocks. We weren't. We knew how fucked up racism was back then as much as we do now.

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

Fair play to the Greens - this is excellent.

Yes but it'll be Their Party, we're not invited

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

This headline will not be repeated by most other newspapers, neither will it lead the TV news. Our agenda-driven, bad faith media is one of the major reasons why we’re in the fix we’re in and why the government is terrified of taking the steps needed to change things. More fool them.

'Maybe' and 'losing' doing a lot of heavy lifting there!

The Lidl version is delicious, much more nutty and less sweet.

Yes of course

(Sorry misread your post as 'Can anyone confirm..' must get new glasses and concentrate. Lovely idea though.

Oh, I didn't know you knew my parents...

The Auvergne mountains are off in the distance to the left and are very snowy ❄️

Michael Gove Made Orwell Prize Judge Despite Record of Attacking Journalists and Dodging Scrutiny Critics say "Orwell would have enjoyed the irony" of the former Conservative minister's appointment

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Amazing the number of people assuming my post is in support of Labour and Starmer, when in fact, it is simply a criticism of Polanski.

How very performative of him

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Covid inquiry live: ‘Inexcusable’ delays under Johnson led to 23,000 deaths Lockdowns may have been avoided if Boris Johnson’s government had acted faster, damning report finds

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

‘Too little, too late’: damning report condemns UK’s Covid response Report on handling of pandemic contains stinging criticism of ‘toxic and chaotic’ culture inside Boris Johnson’s No 10

The one thing the useless incompetent Boris Johnson clung on to for his failed premiership was the UK’s Covid response. Turns out he killed 20,000 people.

Oh do fuck off

He’s have an inconvenient journalist chopped up with a bone saw in a nanosecond if he could.
Just like the gurning psychopath sitting next to him did.

'We invited a homeless man for dinner - he stayed for 45 years' The man was only meant to stay for a day.

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no.
This is quite something.
