As soon as I read the headline, it was apparent that this was the conclusion the government told him to write. And, wouldn't you just know it

Ruthless ignorance in the Tory Press of Trump's appalling comments about our fallen soldiers from Afghanistan and Iraq. If it was Macron or Merz who said it, the outrage would be visible from space. Appalling, craven fuckers.

Badenoch is a traitor. Nothing more, nothing less.

Every day we all have to think about one of the most irredeemable cunts in the history of the world. What’s he doing? What’s he said now? How will it affect your life? What will be left once he’s finished smashing it all up? It’s unconscionable

Has Trump ever heard of full stops

This is clearly not a well man.

I fucking love reddit

What storm are we on now then? Storm Adolf? Storm Dickbag? Storm Cuntbucket?

He's insane doo doo doo doo doo He's insane doo doo doo doo doo He's insane doo doo doo doo doo He's insane

It's three and a half years since I went to Bilbao on holiday and I've just realised I missed out on the chance to post a photo of my luggage to social media with the caption "Bilbao baggins"

The combination of my car not working with impending world war is a small yet very precisely Sam-shaped anxiety cloud

Is 'Traitories' a pun I'm not getting? Is it trying to avoid trademark infringement? Oh god it's 'Trai-Tories' isn't it? Fuck my life. What a terrible headline. A failure on multiple levels

Worth noting that NPR is not liked up to finish currently until *2045* according to early-stage plans. If this comes after we're talking late 2050s.

Lots of chatter this weekend and today about crime in London. People not in London generally think London isn't safe. Londoners do. What do the stats show? Well, looking at the Crime Severity Scores from the ONS (www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...), London has the worst crime of any region:

How the fuck is it 2026? Seriously, what the fuck

Already a contender for Most Guardian Article of 2026: www.theguardian.com/travel/2026/...

How's that FIFA Peace Prize going?

I'm just saying, she's still allowed to cry even if her daddy's rich and her mom is good looking

I fucking love trifle.

You're tweeting about geopolitics on boxing day. Honestly, shut the fuck up nerd and drink more wine

And to Tiny Tim, who did not die, but instead kept living and living, growing ever more powerful, until eventually all the world fell under his control, ending to his will, all of humanity enslaved to serve his will

Imagine having the full rein of the internet at your fingertips on a beautiful Christmas Eve day and choosing to post on bluesky about trump or shit like that

He's toast

As experienced on a pub night just now, the difference between "Do you want another half?" and "Do you have another half?" is so small and yet so, so large

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

Say what you like about Sir John Rutter, but you have to admit the man fucking loves Christmas.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

I'm old enough to remember the Conservative November 2022 budget which froze income tax and national insurance thresholds for five and a half years

Just got to this fabulous section of Michael Palin's diaries, in which he describes giving evidence in the court case against ABC in 1975, to stop them from broadcasting a heavily cut version of Monty Python's Flying Circus

Interesting note from the BBC Select Committee discussions that support for the BBC drops the further north you go in the country. Presumably that's because the further north you go, the less likely you are to see or hear people like you on the BBC. Northerners are largely excluded from BBC TV.

Two thirds of Britons say they would prefer spending cuts rather than tax rises, when asked in a general way without any drilling down into specific areas. Provide the detail on where things are being spent, and maybe those numbers come down a lot. Impose austerity again, and no one will be happy.

Could everyone PLEASE stop confusing the 2020s script with the 1920s script. Next you'll tell me we'll have major industrial nations succumbing to fascism and an impending great depression

Have portmanteaus gone too far? Here's how to fix it

why can they not just fix it

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

Vitamin D, why hast thou forsaken me

Hmm. Call me a raging illiberal if you like but I reckon it's fair enough to prohibit someone from entering a church if they're wearing a t-shirt that looks like it's got Satan on it - even if the representation is from Wind in the Willows. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I'd be grateful if someone could write a parody called "Cheney is Dead" to the tune of "Lady in Red"

Can we all agree that instead of posting screenshots of the Telegraph and whatever mental arsegravy Allister Heath has shat over the Internet, we all just repost this forever more

Also, whilst I'm here, if you're British, the 26th letter of the alphabet is pronounced Zed. So if you're British, the holders of those stupid moustaches aren't called fucking Gen Zee then are they?

Dear Gen Z, moustaches are fucking stupid. Please stop. Thanks.

The chap on the left once defended marriage between siblings in a live interview on GB News. By all accounts it was too much even for GB News viewers.
