Hypocrisy Central in the UK today as the Conservatives criticise Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ pre-budget suggestion that she may have to raise taxes to get the country out of a financial hole.

A financial hole mostly caused by the Tories’ economic failure from austerity and Brexit on out.

One of my torties licks my nose to tell me it's supper time, and occasionally that becomes a nibble as well.

This Is How Tesla Will Die The vultures are circling the tech giant.

Interesting piece: if Tesla collapses Musk’s entire empire could come crashing down because of the way he’s structured the companies’ finances.

The what now?

Chonk showing off his muscles.

I thought chonk was doing a good impression of a stool with his tail there.

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over £20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about:
Childhood
Education
Aliens
Alpacas
The East Midlands
The old future we lost

The 1st of mine being, for that price could you not have hired a professional photographer?

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

As ever, the real story here, aside from the bribes themselves, is not who met who, or who knew what about who.

It is that Farage, Reform and its predecessor parties have consistently acted to promote and assist Putin & Russian objectives in Europe & the world.

More than 50 child asylum seekers still missing after disappearing from Kent care Council data obtained by the Guardian shows 345 children have gone missing in recent years, many probably taken by traffickers

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Cardiff Catholic priest Mark Rowles sentenced for sending racist neo-Nazi messages Father Mark Rowles was arrested by counter terror police for extreme right wing activity on social media.

wasn’t expecting to read tonight about a Catholic priest going by the name "skinheadlad1488" in a chatroom called Aryan Reich Killers but here we are

What's the ginger liqueur, please?

Clifford Clinton - 1937

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

Written by an immigrant. The irony.

I also have a flask and love it! It does have the downside that come mid morning I have to pee every 5 mins though.

Hope you've been to see the penguins and lemmings statues.

There an app called Plantnet quite good for plant i.d.

My cats never plucked the carpets in 6 years at our old place. Moved home and one of them started on the carpets immediately and 4 years later hasn't stopped 🤬

What sort of plant is it? (It looks like it wants a bigger pot)

Let me guess, sold for a dollar to some Trump clan member.

My mum bought me *all* of those Usbourn books!

Why did he think would it be any more of a hazard than a lock on the toilet door?

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Public service announcement: The purpose of adverts isn't to accurately reflect society, it's to sell things.

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.
