Labour has good idea shock From the new Private Eye, out now.

Tory-run Slough has “lost track” of 500 people living in temporary accommodation, meaning it underestimated its spending by £10m. It blames staff turnover and incompetence, and a new IT system; but while the blunder was spotted in October 2024, officers have only just fessed up to councillors.

The new Lily Allen album: decoded. Private Eye tried to get to the bottom of the biggest mystery in popular music.... Who is Lily Allen making references to?

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films. What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

Save the date! For this amazing #movie #Auschwitz 999themovie.com/so/33PiEGTVh...

Happy belated #birthday to my beloved #mother, who was born on December 10th 1916 in #Guernsey (pictured here in #Buckinghamshire in 2001). She was utterly devoted to me and my brothers, a great homemaker and the rock on which our lives stood.

Everything about the reality TV show President, is FAKE: •FAKE Tan. •FAKE Wife. •FAKE Christian. •FAKE President. •FAKE Business man. •FAKE Assassination attempt. And a recipient of a FAKE peace award.

Sir Beta of Grovelshire, arise, and never make eye contact again.

The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

The corruption never ends.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

HOLY SHIT! Trump was caught on a mic admitting he recently got an MRI at Walter Reed - something his team claimed was just a "routine physical." MRIs are NOT part of standard checkups. Something serious warranted it. What aren’t they telling us?
