Kirk was a "nice guy" if you were a white gun-toting male.

How many times does Donald Trump have to demonstrate his stupidity before people accept that he's stupid?

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

People are naturally pessimistic, and it can be protective. The trick is to know when to worry and when not to assume everything will be fine when it patently won't be.

Wow.

Lisa Nandy should be all over BBC News and their Reform fan boy Chris Mason. Mason is a partisan hack.

Kimmel returns tomorrow. Fuck you, Donald.

Thinking that Trump or JFK Jr know what causes autism is like thinking sitting on the radiator causes piles.

I’m not sure it reflects all that well on Mason that the most aggressive interview he’s managed with a politician in quite some time is in defence of his own journalism. It’s also a fairly extraordinary attack to make in response to a fairly mild critique. Not sure his judgment on the money here.

CAT ADVISORY: Today is the first day of Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Ensure your human servants procure extra snacks to see you through until the Spring, then eat them all this weekend.

3 years ago I was living in a homeless shelter, and one evening I found a corporate card on the street. I used it every day to buy food, cigs and the occasional pint. It took 9 months before it got declined.

This is as rambling a Trump speech as I've ever heard: old Biden, crime-ridden Washington DC, the MAHA discovery of a cure for autism, interspersed with occasional anecdotes about Charlie Kirk. On Fox News, I just saw a shot of people sneaking out early from the seated areas to avoid the rush.

Let's give Farage's policy its real name - Repatriation.

.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan “Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

It’s amazing the number of people who never gave Israel a thought are using it purely to attack Starmer & the Labour Party. #wato

A Labour source said: “Farage’s not even half-baked announcement has already fallen apart. Yet again, Reform have no credible plan and their only answer is ‘don’t know’.” OK agree, but it'll take more than that to 'stop the votes'. Get a grip, take the high ground and shut Reform out !

OK so Labour Conference hear this - Your ONLY job is to 'Stop the Votes' going to Reform. Don't engage in the usual futile infighting left of party vs right. The best you can do to uphold Labour values supporting working people is to keep Reform away from power, anything else is time wasting.

This is genuinely terrifying. People who arrived legally, and are living here within the law, to be deported en-masse? It's only a small step to then expelling anyone who disagrees with you. Make no mistake, Farage is as much a threat to democracy as his hero Trump 🤮 share.google/YdwRf9kQhZWT...

A simpering eulogy from Donald Trump says everything about who you were.

Do you have to down the paracetamol with bleach? #wato

The answer is always this map.

Took my daughter to the bank to open her own Junior account so she can learn about responsible money management. The nice banking lady asked her to spell her name because it has different spellings. "A for Apple," she said, followed by "B for Bollocks". Mortified.

LOL at BBC report on Charlie Kirk that failed to show any clips of the odious little shit because all there is is hate speech.

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

The biggest threat to the remaining Israeli hostages isn’t Britain recognising a Palestinian state but the Government of Benjamin Netanyahu. #r4today

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

I'm a family portrait photographer. In my job you become a good judge of character. I'm convinced that at a number of the kids I've photographed will grow up to be high profile murderers. I'm keeping the pics to sell to the newspapers when they are convicted.

Unrecognisable.

There seems to be an extremely serious problem with the definition of 'Free Speech'

Tommy Robinson is a journalist in much the same way that a hamster is a bicycle.

We raised our police officer son very well. He's very good with his manners, like he always calls us before coming over. Which gives me plenty of time to hide my weed from him before he gets here.

Good news is that the Charlie Kirk memorial rally looks nothing like a North Korean rally.

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.

Just had a Ryanair pilot call in sick after burning himself badly on a barbecue. It may cause a delay, but we’ll know more after they circle a bit with a window open to clear the smoke from the cockpit.

Recognising Palestinian self-determination has been long overdue. It is a welcome step, yet it must be the start, not the end. We need a ceasefire, an end to the cycle of violence and real progress towards a two-state solution.

I don't know which is more disturbing. Finding out that the catchy ditty Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles is about cunnilingus or having my mother in law explain this to me via the medium of Charades

Five years ago…

I keep reading what Farage or Ferrari or whoever paid for that house, and something nags. He paid the thick end of £900k -£885000. I've just checked Rightmove. Over the last year, detached houses in Clacton sold for an average £299,894. Semi-detached £251,152; flats £132,264. What's he bought?

Cutting Benefits. Cosying up to the fossil fuel lobby. Er, that's it.
