Every right-wing podcaster discussing Elon Musk

A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

Donald Trump. An Apology.

The new Private Eye is out now

Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.

Manchester, somebody needs to give this sad gentleman a lovely home

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

Justin Trudeau says he will step down as Canada's prime minister and that parliament will be suspended while a new party leader is chosen cnn.it/3DIPhGR

Dishing the dirt on detox | Jay Rayner A self-confessed glutton, Jay Rayner has always been wary of the ‘January detox’. But after talking to experts and sampling some of the products, he’s discovered the truth is even worse than he imagin...

Perhaps you’re considering a January detox: herbal teas, mud baths and the like. By all means knock the booze on the head for a bit. But the rest of it? Total bollocks. Because you already have a liver and kidneys. Here’s something I wrote a while back.

Rod Stewart generally pretty dodgy, cringe-making lyrics. Maggie May, Hot Legs, Tonight's the Night.

The nationalisation of England's railway services will begin in May 2025

Politico: "New Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has confirmed Southwestern Railways will be the first train operator to be nationalised under Labour’s rolling plan... and c2c — which operates in Essex — will follow in July"

Sorry to say that we just recently agreed to disband Somerset Loves Europe. 😪

#France's Far Left and Far Right just announced they will together vote a motion of no confidence in #MichelBarnier's government. That's it. The government falls.

A stark contrast to #NotreDame's thousands of artisans who joined forces for something higher than themselves.

If only.

Goth never dies.

Just pointing out the law so UK qualified teachers don't assume they can just move over and teach in a state school on a similar basis to here eg salary, pension rights etc. You may also be assigned a post by the authorities and required to teach in a different place to where you would prefer.

They also work very irregular and long hours. It's not an easy life.

Only EU / French citizens are eligible to take the CAPES and teach in the state sector in France as they are employed as civil servants. The private sector is a different matter altogether.

With Heidi Alexander replacing Louise Haigh as transport secretary, the cabinet is now 100% state school educated for the first time in history.

(Sir Keir Starmer's school was a selective state school when he joined, then became private two years into his time there.)

SIX million signed this one😕 #Brexit #petition

A new starter pack, reflecting the influx of new arrivals here. The 150 limit means that some who were in my previous pack have been bumped off (sorry - but the previous list is still available) & also that there's still no room some who messaged to ask to be included.
