Ofcom really are fucking useless www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

The Uriah Heap of political reporting speaks.

Nothing screams Patriotism like a paper purporting to represent British values, advising an elite minority how to avoid paying taxes the rest of us are eligible for above a certain threshold.. Taxes that fund #NHS, Police, Fire Service, Armed Forces, Education, Social Care.. 😡

I get the stereotype of the ‘other gays’ as that has been around in various forms for decades. What’s made it worse IMO is an endless blizzard of the best bits of other gays lives. We don’t see the shitty bits so we wrongly think we’re doing worse. When all we are all doing is our best.

She’s 62?!!!!! Is there a portrait in her attic or something? She looks amazing.

It must be exhausting thinking that, wherever you go, you’re the cleverest man in the room.

Well, the as squeezed annoyed me so much, I have S4C on instead. Muted the sound and put 5 Live Sports Extra on.

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help snyder.substack.com/p/the-long-u...

Didn’t Italy do well? #6Nations

It’s almost as if Reform UK are like every other party in British politics.

No. They have NEVER been chic on anyone (including men). PS: I grew up in the 80s and it was bad enough the first time round.

Watched the Bob Monkhouse cabaret on BBC iPlayer. The best joke that I’d forgotten about was: Someone asked me if I slept in the nude. And I do. Though I probably shouldn’t on those REALLY long flights.

So why were France the second to last team out?

Hazel Irvine’s inane commentary is getting on my nerves. Where’s Andrew Cotter when you need him?

Odd how BBC avoid having Farage on the list: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So the Americans are interfering in our politics rather than the Europeans. What is this Brexit of which you speak?

So, the BBC is asking us to pay a shade over 49p a day for BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, BBC News, CBBC, CBeebies, Radio 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5Live, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer. That sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Well, that’s just greedy

IT’S NOT THE FLOOR, IT’S THE GROUND, you muppets @itvsport.bsky.social #6nations

Ireland appear to have woken up. They’re not looking like they used to…..

And again!

Oh for the love of God, where do ITV find these commentators ‘It’s like a slippery eel’ ‘The supporters in blue are delirious’ It’s rugby, not association football. Pick your superlatives carefully. Wankers #6nations

So, Starmer was right. Trump was cross because Sir Kier had stood up to him over Greenland. Kemi Badenoch owes him an apology.

The what now???🍆💉 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articl...

MI5 went to No 10 to warn the Prime Minister not to appoint him. But the Prime Minister shrugged off the advice and appointed him anyway. (2020 - Johnson and Lebedev.)

Oh, NOW they want politics to be civilised. They really should have spoken up about civility and not spinning a line during the Brexit referendum. Telegraph’s gonna Telegraph.

They’ll stop at nothing.

Watching a round table from episode 5 of The Traitors Ireland. It’s turned into the kind of slanging match that you get on street corners!! I’m just waiting for someone to call someone else an evil bitch and clatter out on their stilettos 👠

once spoke at some poncy private conference at Soho Farmhouse with Matt Goodwin and can confirm he looked pleased as punch to be there, so I think he can spare us all the theatrics

Justin: I’ve just spent the last three days trying use my considerable wealth to get the scriptwriters to tell me all future plot lines. And all I got was this art work. Do you think Peggy would have liked it? Or even cared? #thearchers

One for Tim Harford to rip to shreds

Let the drivel pile high

As I understand it, the UK Government of the day only created British Indian Ocean Territory because the Americans wanted a military base there and we wanted Polaris. So close cooperation with the US for this territory is nothing new. But their mind changing is exhausting.

“Journalists found out today that workers at British Leyland had put the boot in. Making it the first time they’d actually done that in quite a while”

Daddy…..my DADDY! I’ve just watched this again, and it makes me cry every time. Great storytelling abd a marvellous film.

It sounds harsh, but I agree. Ukraine did exactly that and look what happened later on.

I have sent an email to the BBC's Corrections and Clarifications team to point out an error, as I wouldn't want their reputation for providing exceptional clarity to be tarnished:

Gee thanks Lidl. You really know how to make a guy feel special.

But we turned it pointing upwards

Quartet 😬

Good God @theguardian.com there is nothing archaic about the Parliament Acts. It’s part of our constitution and it’s meant to ensure that the will of the Commons isn’t thwarted by the Lords www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Yourself, but as a cartoon

Just listening to Emma Barnett hectoring Liz Kendall on Radio 4. If reports are true that Barnett is considering leaving, I’ll crack open the champagne, Mishal Hussain she isn’t.

Imagine CBeebies offering comfort to kids because the British version of ICE stressed the under 5s.

Ofcom are fucking useless. But swear by accident on a little local radio station, and they’ll feel your collar and glare at you. An utter waste of space. You can’t even call them Tell you Ofcom any more. Because they don’t. Not if you’re Murdoch. Abolish them now.

“Service charges [on flats] don’t contain any element of profit….” is the absolute biggest lie about leasehold properties I’ve ever heard. The service charges contain a management fee too, together with a likely commission for the forced choice of insurance company.
