Really good sign that *checks notes* ConservativeHome hasn’t realised that this isn’t a photo of *checks notes* Conservative Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride.

The cynicim of this rancid attack in Manchester. Jewish people have been telling us for years they feel less safe. It'd about time they are believed.

Terrible news that two people were killed in Manchester attending their place of worship at the synagogue in Manchester, with others seriously injured. Community Security Trust @cstuk.bsky.social who do so much to keep Jewish people safe at faith and community spaces have issued this advice.

Just to warn anyone who came here for journalism that it’s #BBUK szn so that’s the focus for the next wee while.

There’s competition, I know. But threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of the affiliates of an entire “big-3” television network unless they stop their evening talk show host from criticizing the president has to be one of the biggest First Amendment violations in U.S. history.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

White House Officials Vow Vast Crackdown on Liberal Groups www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09... Open authoritarianism. Happening right in front of us.

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.

1) This is from a deputy leadership candidate, it is not from the Guardian 2) I am sick of Labour supporters who have absolutely nothing to lose from the end of the taboo against open racism lecturing those of us who do. Can you people hear yourselves?

i could talk about this photo of jon craig for many years.

MAKE IT STOP

so not only is this appalling man peddling utter garbage about autism, he's also blaming women for their children's autism (Tylenol is paracetamol, fellow Brits). What a disgusting person he is

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

…

Nigel Farage just repeatedly denied – under oath! – to @raskin.house.gov ever banning journalists he doesn’t like from his party’s conventions. This happened to me *literally today*.

If I had to be haunted by Steve Pemberton as Rupert Murdoch then you do too.

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/

Another story about a very rich man determined to strip London's cultural assets. And another story that highlights the job that the London Evening Standard *hasn't* been doing: reporting on London.

Feel like this little sob story *could* have mentioned that Boyne's Polari nomination came five days after he wrote a piece referring to trans-inclusive women as the evil wives in the Handmaid's Tale, "ready to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her". www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

New meme unlocked I think. Happy Alex Kingston On Strictly Day.

There is such a malicious game of telephone being played with the Telegraph’s M&S ‘trans’ shop assistant story. It’s gone from the anonymous complaint claiming the person was trans because they were tall to versions — notably in The Sun — falsely suggesting the person offered a bra fitting.

Nigel Farage dared me to walk in London after 9pm: Here's my response

someone at a white house press briefing should ask why the president consistently refers to his black american critics as “low IQ”
