Born on this day 1937: World Cup winner and Manchester United legend, Bobby Charlton.

I'd love to know what every comedian who played the Riyadh Comedy Festival thinks of this piece by Jonathan Liew. It's an electrifying read. And really hard to think what any counter-justification from the participating comics would consist of. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

An observation test for you - for your inner 8 year-old “The artist has hidden 12 things in this picture. How many can you find?” Treasure magazine, 1964 Official answers coming soon (Even if you don’t reply, could you please ‘like’ or share this one? 🙏)

The problem is that I’m not sure Labour has proposed any policies to actually increase productivity. Infrastructure builds capacity, it does not increase industrial productivity in the near term. And betting on magic pixies from US techbros has been a colossal error of judgement.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

THIS!! 👇👇

This is real. This... {deep breaths} I cannot even find the right word... actually said this about this year's richly deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner. He did everything he could to denigrate her win. (Screenshot below altered merely to remove an ad.)

Johnson "repeatedly broke rules forbidding him from exploiting for private gain contacts made in office" So what is #Starmer"sLabour going to do about it? He belongs behind bars.

If they do this, they’ll need a convincing answer to the obvious question some will ask: ‘why don’t we rejoin?’ Keir Starmer’s plan to blame Nigel Farage for budget tax rises www.thetimes.com/article/8875...

Yet he will still promise to make Brexit work, the charlatan.

Same day. Same plenary session. Same visit to Gill’s office. Same Farage, Same Gill, same wife of sanctioned pro Russian agent. Six days after the first bribery charge

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

My former political party is scared to death of these #NoKings rallies. That’s great. So let’s have a gazillion Americans out rallying all around the country on October 18th! Let’s scare the shit out of Trump & his party.

Important history text book just arrived from eBay…

Farage on Gill and Pro Russian media bribes” I told him not to go. He defied me and went. I was completely unaware of any statements that he made." Farage with pro Russian media (and wife of briber) on the day Gill made his statements in 2018

Remember when Trump stole the FIFA trophy? Machado better hide that sucker!

Any nation not looking into UBI, as AI and automation kill millions of jobs, wants their population to be poor and destitute.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Nobody likes you Fat Satan. 🔥

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists. Seems bad?

Republicans are desperate to manufacture violence in America, to justify an onslaught of violent repression against Americans.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social Stop platforming Farage. Why would you think that we care what he thinks? How about finding out what Ed Davey or Zack Polanski thinks? Where's the balance in reporting? news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social BBC TV & radio news coverage on Gaza is despicably skewed. If (like R1 newsbeat) you insist on referring to Hamas as a terrorist group, then you should always refer to Israel as illegally occupying Palestine. Balance, right...?

Last night, Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf were called fascists on prime-time BBC. Call me sentimental, but I think the UK is a slightly better place today. The Overton window shifted in our favour for once.

See #bbcqt have secured former Tufton Street IEA loon, Reeves-loathing, Telegraph frothing halfwit Annabel Denham in the 'independent journalist' seat this week. Why would anyone watch such discredited, compromised horse shit?

Nice work Jim Watson, nice work.

Amazing how a #bbcqt audience that presumably has been warmed up a bit by Zack amongst others, is sounding so basically decent on the whole, almost like beyond the Westminster village idiots & media tarts all thrilling to crypto fascism, there’s a world of sensible people join.greenparty.org.uk

Let’s hope 🙏

Yusuf stamping his feet because the crowd aren't full racists and therefore, 'not representative' of the UK, says pretty much everything. The man's a liar, he doesn't care for people who see through his party's bullshit, and he really doesn't like being challenged much either #bbcqt

If the Norwegians had a sense of humour, they'd give Obama a second peace prize today.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear. #bbcqt

“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.” Zack Polanski takes on Reform’s Zia Yusuf over spreading of misinformation on #BBCQT

🤷🏼

So refreshing to see someone challenge the smug, nasty Reform narrative

Everyone who studies research methods just had an aneurysm

Hey voters, let me introduce you to the fucking lunatic that you elected:

that’s the Guido Fawkes editorial team isn’t it?

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies? By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

I'm sure financial journalists can correct me if I'm wrong, but it also seems reminiscent of how very large risky assets were concentrated in the balance sheet of a handful of too-big-to-fail institutions.

Universal Basic Income makes far more sense than this.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

This is basically Fascist Fingerbobs.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture. It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.
