The great contortionist | Robert Hutton | The Critic Magazine β€œI want to propose today a better, quicker, more open and more transparent solution!” Nigel Farage sounded like he was in an advertisement for soap powder. Thirty years ago he would have been going…

The Great Contortionist. In which Nigel Farage explains that Sarah Pochin is an accidental racist, not a real racist. and also right that there are too many black people on TV.

Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House One man's robot vacuum was constantly communicating with its manufacturer, sending a detailed 3D map of his house halfway across the world.

Roomba should have been a warning.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

What does Putin have on Trump that is making him try to bully Zelensky into a bad deal that hands victory to Russia?

West Side Tories | Robert Hutton | The Critic Magazine One of the joys of a new parliament is learning about the interesting backgrounds of all the new MPs. For instance Katie Lam, the 34-year-old MP for the Weald of Kent, might seem like another cookie…

West Side Tories: The SKETCH is excited to bring you excerpts from attention-seeking Tory MP Katie Lam's newest musical!

Stand six to ten feet back from the baggage carousel and move forward when you spot your bag coming, rather than all rushing up to block access and crowd the conveyor belt.

Donald Trump says crime in London is going through the roof. In reality the latest figures show that murders in London in the first nine months of 2025 were lower than in any year since monthly homicide records began in 2003, and 2025 saw a 7% drop in knife crime.

My only concern is that Trump might now pull out of brokering the peace in Gaza in a fit of pique.

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living β€œparallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

Why is Starmer becoming more confident criticising Brexit? Because quietly, without any great drama, a consensus has been reached. It's a disaster inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Held Hostage by Cartoon Villains: Notes from the Decline Now Featuring Russian Bribes and MAGA-Grade Madness In the UK Spin-Off Nobody Asked For

How much more of this bllocks are we supposed to take?

Trump’s clearly demented. Reform’s a bin fire of bad ideas and Russian fingerprints.

And still, it feels like the left are turning up to a gunfight with a dildo.

β€œThe president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

This withered little bellend will say anything in order to ingratiate himself with Trump. He hasn't had an original thought since the cries he let out on the ill-fated day he was born.

World leaders have united to condemn Israel’s bomb attack on Hamas officials in Qatar, saying the strike was in breach of international law and have warned the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that they are prepared to do absolutely nothing in response.

From the new Private Eye, out now.

I read someplace that when INDECENT PROPOSAL came out a TV reporter, outraged at the concept, did some vox pops outside the theater, asking a woman "Would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars?!" Only the woman without hesitation replied "I'd sleep with Robert Redford for fifty cents."

Gordon Brown is spot on.

Of course huge gambling companies, a cancer on society, should pay higher taxes in order to lift millions of children out of poverty.

Child poverty causes social division and, later, crime.

It’s incredible we are even debating this.

Just do it.

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.

It's yelling into the void but something tell me it just needs to kept being said: if you are still posting, RTing, or lurking on X, you are helping keep users there and you are helping this guy pull in advertising revenue.

You are a volunteer worker for a slobbering, drug-addled white supremacist
