Given how much Nigel Farage hates working from home, it would be nice to see him turn up at his workplace a bit more regularly

The Labour government has made some howlers. It's also scored victories. Anyone who thinks we've been going backward since July 2024 is wrong. The salivating hacks in Downing Street have made chumps of themselves today.

Some of us are old enough to remember this from Badenoch…

I know that I’m a big salsa fan anyway, but the salsa version of Die With A Smile from the Superbowl show was so amazing! Better than the original for me. youtu.be/2DiRG8aPnzU?...

No-one seems to have noticed, but many of the core developments in the Mandelson/Epstein story these last few days have been broken on this website. @pickardje.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social are both posting each breaking development on BlueSky, not X.

God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments. Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation. That’s his plan for the rest of us.

i think they’re being overly optimistic regarding the canine literacy rate

Davey knows a PM with a majority of 140 isn't going to announce an election 18 months into a 5 year term. Shameless opportunism from someone who's revealing himself to be pretty shallow.

There's a fine line between reporting the news and making the news. BBC News, live from Downing Street, has crossed the line.

All political parties experience problems. The difference is hacks in the rolling news and press magnify Labour's and diminish Reform's and the Tories' To quote Graham Chapman "it's all getting very silly.."

Farage strays from immigrants and he's revealed as nothing more than a saloon bar bore. Lazy shallow opinions from someone who knows sod all about modern working practices.

Ironic that a man barely ever in his workplace should make such a call.

BREAKING: Maxwell will clear Trump’s name if he gives her clemency, according to her lawyer. Oh course!!

This debut from 2008 will be my no. 1 for #5DebutAlbums0509 love it! Not close for me. The Fame - Lady Gaga youtu.be/bESGLojNYSo?...

After the game I was wondering if I was too critical of the Pats coaches on my reaction pod but nope….rewatching and woof woof.

Munich, of course, famously a great place for British PMs to get an easy win that saves their career.

Once again I am mad at this dickhead for not staying in the nice warm ocean and leading to all this human nonsense

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

Whatever people want to say about Gordon Brown, we owe him a lot.

This is pretty cool! 👍

Another thing many underestimate is the sheer rage and the depth of the misinformation they're facing. Much right populism is emotional and psychological, a deep phenomenon which may not be particularly amenable to policy. At its simplest it's a turning outwards of insoluble frustration. (1/3)

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

Again, I get the instinct here, but the deck is stacked so much against you now you're not really accomplishing anything by staying on Elon's Nazi Fun Place and CSAM Clearinghouse.

I never noticed this either.

Hi folks, the next poll in our debut albums series will be debuts released between 2005-2009. Voting will commence on Friday 27th Feb, at which point I’ll need your top 5 picks in order of preference. In the meantime please use hashtag #5DebutAlbums0509 to recommend your favourites. See you then 👍

only because i keep seeing this on my tl from multiple sources: the image on the right looks like it's the exact same photo, but edited to remove the reform banners. the door looks very strange, and they also apparently forgot to remove what looks like a small reform sticker in the window

Just beyond parody at this point

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

British values

Extraordinary reporting. And a window on the two Londons - the one we live in and the phantom city of the online rage economy

Lewis Goodall has said he has looked through Hansard and not a single Conservative stood up and said appointing Mandleson was a bad idea let alone because of what everyone knew at the time with regard to Epstein.

Rate bit of good news here for Labour.

People often jump to saying online propaganda is either the work of radicalised actors, or else Russia. In practice, it’s amazing how often the answer is much simpler – someone is chasing either (a) clout, (b) money, or (c) both.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

Reform UK are seeking to fob off blame for their illegal leaflet on a printer error. That won’t stand up with the police - responsibility for making sure the law is followed lies with the party commissioning and distributing the leaflets.
