Really enjoyed the comedy bits of the latest #SNLUK but I'm begging them to hire some sound engineers who know how to make live music sound good on TV

My new essay is about the situation where there is no right way to be a woman. And how, in the end, accepting this really does set you free. open.substack.com/pub/naomiald...

A thing about me is even if I'm having a great time I can't wait to go home

Hi, nice to meet you. Would you like to exchange pleasantries while masking our true selves

An 'epidemic' of violence: The women and girls killed by men last year

Is it me or has Wills been jawmaxxing

There is actually broadly speaking no need to have any discourse on the war against Iran beyond this: this is insane, and should not be happening, and Bibi and Trump alike will burn in hell for all the deaths they will cause.

More like Matt Badloss, am I right?

In honour of the Sunday Telegraph's editor and offical maddest columnist, we have created the Allister Heath headline generator... stirring-fox-7e1fab.netlify.app

Just saw Fire from Gladiators on the Olympics doing non-Gladiator related punditry and wow, she looks gorgeous, have to wonder why the hair and makeup team on Gladiators do her such injustice

In good news, a little one was born in Utah🦒 www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01...

Can we finally now just try the chaos with Ed Miliband option

This is a lovely thing to do but as a florist I really feel like their florist could have done much better than those sparse-ass wreaths, they can't have been hard up for budget so there's no excuse

Can't believe the Aussies Olympics team didn't all come into the arena doing the kangaroo breakdance move from last time

People have to do jail time. Powerful people, who thought they were untouchable. They have to be arrested, tried, stripped of assets relating to their crimes, and sent to jail. Because if it doesn't happen, it will prove to voters that democracy is a sham. And then we're seriously fucked.

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

there's a lot in this piece but the Mandelson email about angling for some kind of job at JP Morgan because 'i do not want to live by salary alone' just exemplifies everything people hate about politicians, the City, and revolving doors between the two www.ft.com/content/91e8...

It is absolutely right that university is paid for by people who don't go to university as well as those who do. I don't have kids but I pay for schools because I benefit from having an educated workforce and community. The same is true for all stages and types of education.

I'm just saying, these people have Viking blood in their veins and as any 8th century Anglo-Saxon could tell you, it's a bad idea to mess with Vikings

Interviewers: ‘why won’t politicians answer questions. It’s so unfair on the public’. Also (some) interviewers: ‘here’s a gotcha question which can’t possibly have an insightful, useful answer’

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

It would be great if, as a society, we stopped treating taxes like a bad thing. Taxes are a good thing. And rich people who avoid paying them should be treated like the leeches they are.

This is disgusting and well done to Travelodge for taking these guests instead. If I need a cheap hotel any time soon, I know which chain I'll choose. Thoughts and prayers to the @holidayinnexpress.bsky.social press office this morning by the way

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning." -Churchill

Dude. It's just appeasement. What could go wrong?

Sharp-eyed readers may note the overlaps between “gender ideology is a leftist plot to deprave the youth and molest our womenfolk”; “human rights are a Soviet/Islamist plot to sap our martial will to dominate and destroy our enemies”, and “the volk are threatened by the taint of the lesser races”.

There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship

Nigella just gets me

Seeking asylum is not illegal. People entering the country by irregular means without any other option are not breaking the law. The Govenrment should be showing humanity not further brutality

I don't want AI, I want a hinge system for spectacles that doesn't rely on a miniscule screw that's impossible to fix when it falls out

Many newspapers and politicians have been calling yesterday's fiscal statement a 'Budget for Benefits Street'. Here's three reasons why that is not accurate 🧵

I'm not sure if you are not involved in the system you will understand the gravity of what being in 'supported accommodation' or 'limited day-to-day adult involvement' means. Before I give some anonymised examples of my experience of working with young people as a volunteer in this system 1/n

I would like the conversation around vaccines and autism to involve asking autistic people whether we would rather have died of a preventable childhood disease or lived our autistic life It would be a moot question, since vaccines don't cause autism, but it would be nice to be included

some years, Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day just completely sneaks up on you

I must say it is EXTREMELY fucking rich for Kelvin Mackenzie to be on the BBC opining about Tim Davie and Deborah Wotsername resigning BBC News - Kelvin MacKenzie to leave The Sun after Ross Barkley column - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-3985...

Violence against autistics courtesy of this screen saver photo from Microsoft today Trigger warning, REALLY STARING EYES STARING

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

A total and utter hero

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession. ●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed ● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years ● Sleep well serfs. ● Know your place.

I love this statue and especially how the quote reminds us that the Suffragists and Suffragettes worked together and that both their approaches (lawful and law-breaking) were important, even though the men who wrote their history afterwards tried to make us believe they were at odds.

Maybe the trouble started when we started referring to those we report to at work as "superiors"

OK, I have very little time for any Royal or Pope, or Church for that matter, and Charles is an abusive arsehole, but kudos to him and Leo for this, this is an important moment and deserves to be a key point in both their legacies.

Siri what is "insouciance"

These protests deserve to be as eternally iconic as the pictures of anti-Vietnam protesters putting flowers in guns. Just amazing work from Portland. Anti-ICE Protesters Mock Trump’s Claim That Portland Is A ‘War Zone’ In Silliest Way Possible share.google/502xMtvr2OCI...

Agreed Absolutely no love lost for Michelle Mone, but I would be so pissed off if I was her Yes, she took advantage of the VIP lane - but it was set up by MPs who have faced zero consequences Hancock, Gove, Johnson et al should be in prison for misconduct in public office
